Tournament
A proper bout of Punctuation Kung Fu requires three
players: two combatants and a referee. The combatants
face each other. The referee says the words ''capital
letter'', and the opponents bow to each other while
repeating the same phrase.
The referee then calls out three punctuation marks and
the players have to put the moves and sounds for these
together, in sequence, as quickly as they can. The
winner is the one who puts together all three moves and
their accompanying sounds correctly in the quickest
time.
