LAST EDITED ON 01-15-08 AT 04:05 PM (EST)Powerball: Both contenders vs. 3 Gladiators all at once. The field is kinda like a football field with 5 scoring pods in the main field of play spread out like a "5" on a regular die. The contenders have "scoring balls" (color coordinated painted soccer balls) positioned at either end that they have to put ino the scoring pods which are like giant weebils. Outer scoring pods worth 2, middle scoring pod worth 3. One minute time limit.
Joust: Battle a gladiator above a pool standing on 3 foot wide circular platform using a pugil stick to knock each other silly. Knock the gladiator into the pool (or if the gladiator DQs hirself), 10 points, manage to stay on the platform for the 30 seconds, 5 points.
Hang Tough: One on one. Contender must move through a course of gymnastic rings to try to get to the other side. One minute time limit. If the contender manages to get to the other side you get 10 points. 5 points if you manage to stay on the rings for the full minute.
Earthquake: Wrestle one-on-one in a circular ring suspended above mats that tips and turns. Get the gladiator off, 10 points, manage to stay on for the 30 seconds, 5 points.
Hit and Run: Run across a 50 foot wobbly suspension bridge avoiding 100 lb. demolition balls swung by 4 gladiators. Each successful crossing is worth 2 points, which is received after you hit the button on each side. However, if you're knocked into the water, you're done. One minute full length time limit.
Pyramid: 2 contenders vs. 2 gladiators. The gladiator is assigned to a contender. First contender to the top of the pyramid gets 10 points. If they get above a certain point on the pyramid, the contender is guaranteed 5 points.
Eliminator: Humongus obstacle course. All the points that were scored in the previous 4 events now get converted into points: With a 1/2 second advantage for each point that the contender is in the lead.
Wall: Contenders must climb up a 40' climbing wall with the gladiators chasing them after a 7 second head start. First to the top gets 10 points, the second one up gets 5 points.
Assault: Gladiator with a gun, shooting tennis balls going 100 mph. Contenders are given various weapons at various semi-vulnerable shooting stations. Hitting the target sends the gladiator into the drink, and 10 points. One point for each successful shot gotten off (and acquiring the arrow for weapon 3...) if you don't hit the target.
Gauntlet: 4 Gladiators in a half-pipe with fencing with the gladiators having foam blocking weapons. Contenders get 2 points for each gladiator passed with 10 points for getting to the end and breaking the foam wall.
In each show the male and female contenders share two events and of course the Eliminator. They get seperate events for the other two events...
