Rudi Reck

a dive on the mat

Fantastic Gymnastics is the original title of this game and this is exactly what Rudi is doing on the horizontal bar - that is, what Rudi is meant to do if the exercise is successful.

A horizontal bar is assembled, and Rudi is hanging from the bar by his hands, facing the scoring mat, which is divided into three segments; the one next to the unit is yellow for a score of 50 points, the middle section is green for 100 points and the outer segment is red for 25 points.

By controlled pressing of the yellow button on the unit, at first slowly and then faster and faster, the gymnast is swinging around the bar, also faster and faster. Then, at the right moment, you press the red button - Rudi lets go of the bar and drops down on the mat. If he manages a stand-up landing, you score the points according to the zone where Rudi landed - 25 points in the red zone, 50 in the yellow and 100 for the perfect landing in the green zone. If you manage this, you win. For a landing outside the mat or a fall on the mat, your score is zero. If you want to play with friends, you can form two teams and use the tournament mat - you enter player names in the bottom cases. Whoever has the higher score in a round, advances to the next round.

Sounds easy, and is easy in theory, that is. But the snags are in the use of the unit - the rhythmic, successful pressing of the yellow button needs a lot of practice, including pressing it to achieve more height when the legs of the Gymnast swing backwards. And for pressing the red button at exactly the right moment you need even more experience and practice, as the rules tell you - “Practice makes perfect!”
