| Summary: | brim n .Two boys would b chosen to pick sides. To see who would have the first choice we would throw up our cap. Beforethrowing up the cap we would ask 'Pot' or 'Brim'? One boy would then take Pot or Brim and depending on which he took the other boy would of course have to take the other. The cap was then thrown in th air. If the cap came down bottom up it would be 'Pot' and the boy who said Pot would have the first pick of the players. If it came down top up then the boy would said 'brim' would have first choice. If the cap came down on its side it was 'snigs' and the cap had to be thrown up again. Whatever game we played we always decided who hid, Hide & seek, fits in/ etc. by 'Pot or Brom'. This way of choosing has been pracitced in the community for decades. It probably started because of the lack of coins to flip up and decide 'heads or tails'.
