A horizontal bar, known as the limbo bar, is supported by two vertical, height indicated stands.  All contestants must attempt to go under the bar with their backs facing towards the floor.

​

When passing under the bar, players must bend backwards, no parts of their body is allowed to touch the bar, and no part other than their feet may touch the ground.
