Given the worldwide spread of Covid-19, we are forced to cancel the SIS Cup 2020. The fifth edition of the SIS Cup would have taken place on 18 and 19 May 2020 at SIS Pfäffikon-Schwyz in Switzerland. We are especially sorry for all students and teachers who have already prepared with anticipation and thank everyone involved for helping with the preparations that have been made. We hope that the situation eases soon and we are already looking forward to the SIS Cup 2021.

The trend sport for 2020 is tug of war. The game involves usage of a 14m rope. The centre of the rope will be marked and a flag placed at two meters on either side of the centre line. This leaves five meters of space for each team of 4 players. Once a team pulls the opposing flag over the centre line the team wins. Teams will therefore have to pull the other team at least two meters to win.

One way of doing that is to define a short list of specific goals in preparation for the SIS Cup, as the example of SIS Männedorf-Zürich shows.
