IFC Rules (Team Tournament Rules)

Two opposing players (one from each team) standing in "The Pit", throw out a single hand, each showing one to five fingers, and call out loud (using Italian language) their guess at what the sum of all fingers shown will be. If one player guesses the sum, that player earns one point. The first player to reach 11 points wins the match and will advance for his team to face another player against another team. The loser of the match is eliminated but can still root for his team. Each team must rotate each player for every challenge. There may not be consecutive matches played from an individual. Winners advance until there is only one winner left. If the winning team has more than one individual remaining, they must challenge each other until there is one winner left and become the IFC World Italian Fingers Champion!
