There is a surprising lack of good definition about what the rules are for fart baseball so I thought I would add a few quotes found on various sites about the rules for fart baseball:


Ok first, Hikers fart allot!!
on my thru-hike of the appalachian trail, me n my buds would play fart baseball while in camp...

here are the rules
one person farts, the other person playing has to hear the fart... they have 5 seconds to fart themselves to throw them out..

the person who didnt fart the base hit votes on what it was(we try to be honest)... single, double, tripple, HR, out,
a regular fart is a single..
a looong nasty fart(5+seconds) is a double..
a long nasty fart that changes in octives is a tripple...
10+ second fart changing in octives is a Homerun
20+ seconds is a grandslam

just getting a double is very hard...

when you goto throw someone out... be carefull... its a dangerous play... if you mess your shorts, you loose the game... we call it a rain-out

if you fart a SBD, and someone smells it, you get a stolen
base

Min 1 min must be waited between hits to prevent the babe ruths from tooting out a machinegun volley of base hits


trail games... The first great game I played in 2000 was Fart Baseball...

well here's tghe original post about it....

"I was tired by the time I got to the shelter. But there was a lively group there which kicked me into party mode. Seven of us ended up playing Fart Baseball for 3 hours. For those of you looking for nature related stuff skip to my next entry. Fart baseball is a game best played after a chili dinner. Each time you fart you get a single. If you burp-that's a foul. If someone else farts within 5 seconds of your fart-it's an out. If someone expresses disgust it's a double. The group playing included Eagle Eye, Grizzly (who thru hiked in '99), Fireball (who hiked 900 miles in '99), myself and 2 other thru-hikers (sorry didn't get their names). I realize it sounds disgusting but out here it's entertainment. We cracked jokes and partied for awhile."

oh yeah that sounds disgusting but we had fun and laughed far into the dark hours...


Rules to Fart Baseball:

1 fart : 1st base
2 farts: 2nd base
3 farts: 3rd base
4 farts: run
5 farts: 2 runs, etc.
If another person farts, they are on 1st and you are out. The most number of runs wins.


"Fart Baseball"

Ok...you need to learn this GAME!! It is discusting, but farting is so fun in the mountains. On my last backpacking voyage, we made up this game. Not hard to play when you eat nothing but dehydrated carbs and squeeze cheese for 12 days straight! Plus, we were so far from civilization that we only showered twice in the 12 days.

Ok, rules: Fart ONCE you get on base, TWICE on second, THIRD time on third and FOUR farts gets you a run. Simple. There is more. If at any time someone else farts while you are on base, you get knocked off and this person is now on first base. Only one person on base at a time. This makes it a challenge, turning your loud bomb of a fart into 4 smaller squeakers. The last rule. If you SHART, [shjt + fart] that is an automatic grand slam. Quick way to get 4 runs in before your competitors. At the end of the day you decide who is the winner.

We actually kept track of this for 12 days and the winner actually had 79 runs!!! GROSS!!! Well, there you have it, let's spread this game around the world!!!

Had seats behind home plate for several games of FB during my thru in 2003.

Noticed that most folks made up the rules as they went a long. Not many disputed calls though.

Ah ...the memories !!

If you cut it off in the mid-fart is that a pinch hitter? :banana

A "squeeze play" could be interesting, but it could possibly turn into a rain out.

We had a guy that would do this constantly. At first we made him start warning us "fire in the hole..." but then we finally made him hike at the end of the line.

I'm a little behind on reading posts this morning, but saw this thread and couldn't help being nosy, do I smell a WB League starting? If you do start one, the board would be a great place to release this information. Has anyone sniffed out the possibilities, I don't think it would stain anybody's reputation to be a fart, I mean part of it.

It might offer a place to clear the air after so much hot air is expelled in the political and other heated posts. We could squeeze some time out for a game at the next gathering.

A Fantasy Fart Baseball League? Interseting concept!

Everyone eats massive amounts of pasta and beans before a real game on TV but can only fart according to the rules of the game. Last one to blow up, wins! :D

According to the dumpire, I believe that artificial fart sounds, or electronic devices that create farts are illegal, at least in the majors - butt perhaps in whiffleball they blow past this rule.

That might be considered the equivalent of steroids - highly controversial. I would put an asterisk next to any records they set.

When I was younger, a friend and I were conversing with a guy while we were fishing. This man claimed to be able to suck air into his cornhole, and reproduce it as a fart. When we asked him to do it, he said 'his sensei doesn't let him practice the art outside of the dojo'.
He's a hack, and to this day I've never met anyone with that skill.

Since someone stuck me with the job of being the commissioner of Fart Baseball I thought it would be a good time to try to regularize the rules to the game.

Submitted for public review:


The Rules for Fart Baseball

#1 - whoever farts first gets to say "First Base"

#2 - whoever farts next gets to say "You are Out! I'm on first base." unless it is the same person who farted first in which case the person says "Second Base" and so on

#3 - a person needs to fart and announce it 4 times without another person farting before reaching “Home Base” and scoring a "RUN"

#4 - farts don't count if the prior fart by the same person is occurred less than 15 seconds previously

#5 – a fart that does not get announced in 5 seconds can be claimed by another person who says “first base” or whatever base is appropriate – this is called a “stolen base”

#6 - everyone plays on their own team

#7 - there is no set number of innings

#8 – a shart causes the player to be tossed out of the game until the person is done cleaning up the crap

#9 – silent but deadly (SBD) farts only count if they are perceived within 5 seconds – this is generally only possible if the person lights the fart – best done at night so the flames can be seen – this can be dangerous in time of drought so if there is a fire ban in effect a SBD just doesn’t count

#10 – a pinch farter can be used to fill in for a person who has to leave the game temporarily but it has to be a person who was not already in the game – when the regular farter returns the pinch farter steps out of the game and the regular farter takes the base that the pinch farter had reached if any and gains any runs that the pinch farter had been able to score

#11 - cheating by making noises that resemble farts but that are not real farts will cause the person cheating to be ruled "Out" if on base or if another person is on base then the other person will advance 1 base on the "Wild Pitch" - a second occurrence of the cheating will cause the cheater to be ejected from the game
