According to Newton's third law, for every action force there is a reacgtion force, then how can a team win a tug of war contest
Answered by drwls
The two teams exert different forces on each other, but matters is the net force on each team. The winning team is able to generate a larger backward force upon itself at the ground (with their feet) than the other team is able to exert on them.

I meant to say just the opposite in the first sentence..
"The two teams exert equal and opposite forces on each other" . The rest is OK
