This is crossed over the breast from the left shoulder, where is the green rosette, to the waist at the right side, where it is tied.
The six Singers, three for each side, sit in an open group on the ground near the ends of the rug, those wearing blue rosettes on the north and those wearing green rosettes on the south side.

The players take their seats on the ground on the line of the circle, those wearing blue rosettes on the north half, those wearing green rosettes on the south half of the circle.
When all are in their places the Custodian leads the two Judges to the rug, on which they are to sit a little back of the wands--blue to the North, green to the South.

The Custodian then takes up the tally-rods, gives four to each of the Judges and retires to stand back of the rug, behind the Judges, ready for duty.
Up to this moment laughing and talking goes on among the players, but as the Custodian divides the tally-rods and hands them to the Judges instant silence falls on all present.
THE OPENING CEREMONY The two Judges rise in their places.
