THE BOARD.

  • corners:3 top-left · 1 top-right · 2 bottom-left · 4 bottom-right — each standing alone.
  • joined pairs:12 | 10 top · 9 | 11 bottom · 5 over 7 left · 8 over 6 right.
  • the center:Box 13 sits inside the K Zone — four trapezoids around it.
  • the start:A dashed yellow START LINE runs the left edge.

Consecutive numbers sit on opposite sides — every shot is a cross-court shot.

how you play

THE CIRCUIT.

the rule you get wrong

Cap must END IN the target box — not just touch it.

On the line doesn't count. All the way in the box or the shot is dead.

01

Line up

Everyone starts behind the START LINE — no exceptions.

02

Decide order

Rock-paper-scissors, coin toss, or highest number goes first.

03

FLICK — never throw

Finger power only. No throwing, no kicking, no pushing.

04

Hit and keep going

Land your target box, shoot again. Miss and the turn passes clockwise.

05

Run 1 → 12, then 13

In order. Every shot is cross-court. Then the challenge waits.

06

Hit advancement

Strike another player's cap — you advance one box, they fall back one.

A

DILLA

DILLA.

  • Finish 1 → 13 to earn the challenge.
  • All four trapezoids in succession — one turn, in order.
  • Miss any trapezoid: the attempt fails. Back to box 13 next turn — retry allowed.
05

the hunt

DILLA POWERS.

Elimination

Strike an opponent's cap 3 times in a row.

Or knock their cap clean OFF THE BOARD — instant elimination.

Movement

Dillas can't go backward.

Forward only. Respect the Skull Zone if it's been established.

Dilla vs Dilla

Only off-the-board knockouts count. Hierarchy holds until dethroned.

06

the finish

WINNING.

Victory conditions

  • Last player standing.
  • Highest box at time limit.
  • Dillas rank above all.

Tournament points

  • Win — 3 pts
  • 2nd — 2 pts
  • 3rd — 1 pt

  3. Rock-paper-scissors.

(NEW HYPE COMP TOURNEY RULES)

  • +1 point for every top you hit.
  • +1 point for landing the next box on your first try.
  • Win by points — or by becoming King Dilla.
  • Ties are broken by a no-hitting circuit sprint to 13.
07

old school

JUNGLE RULES.

No point system. No scorekeeper. You sprint the circuit 1 through 13, become the Dilla, and the only way to win is to eliminate every other player on the board.

  • No pointsnothing is tallied — survival is the score.
  • Sprintrun the circuit 1 through 13 as fast as you can.
  • Become the Dillaclear the K Zone to earn your powers.
  • Winonly by eliminating every other player.
  • On a hitthe shooter moves forward one box, the struck player goes back one box.

THE JUNGLE.

Before the smooth surface, there's the concrete. That's the jungle — the beginning playground where you learn the hard way. You don't skip it. You survive it, then you graduate.

If a cap pops up and flips, it stays wherever it lands — play it where it lays.

Cracks and pebbles are part of the board. No do-overs.

Chalk fades, the call stands — the line is where you all agree it is.

Car or a passerby comes through, everything pauses. Caps go back where they were.

No re-chalking mid-game.

A cap that comes to rest on a crack is judged by majority call.

keep it game-ready

BOARD CARE.

WARNING: NO ALCOHOL. EVER.

Never clean your board with rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, bleach, acetone or solvent sprays. They smear and strip the print, and it doesn't come back.

CLEAN IT

SOAP & WATER
Mild dish soap and lukewarm water on a soft microfiber cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth, then let it air-dry.
NO SCRUBBING
No brushes, scouring pads, magic erasers or paper towels. Never pressure-wash.

ROLL IT

ROLL-OUT BOARDS
GAME FACE OUT
Always roll it with the game face on the outside, so it lays flat and the edges hug the floor.
ROLL IT LOOSE. NEVER FOLD.
Roll it around a wide tube. A fold or crease never comes back out.

STORE IT

NEVER STORE IT WET
Dry it completely first. Keep it out of basements, sheds and damp closets.
KEEP IT COOL
No hot cars, attics or radiators. Heat warps it and makes the layers stick together.
NOTHING ON TOP
Stand the box on its end or keep it on a shelf.

BEFORE YOU PLAY

LET IT WARM UP
Been in the cold? Bring it to room temperature before you unroll it.
LAY IT FLAT
Unroll it game face up. Still curling? Give it a few hours flat on the floor.

SCHOOLS & PROGRAMS

SOCKS OR CLEAN SHOES
Grit under shoes is what wears a board down.
NEED TO DISINFECT?
Use an alcohol-free, bleach-free product, and test it on the black edge first.
