NOTE: EVERYONE WILL BE WELCOME TO PLAY THE GAME, ANYTIME! NO PERMANENT COMMITMENTS, BUT PLAY HARD AND OFTEN!
The 17 teams are ready to go. 14 have been provided with volunteer coaches, while 3 others will be left to fend for themselves! For those volunteer coaches, should your team finish this Summer Game in the Top 3 overall, you will get a snazzy siggie.
This Decathalon will feature 10 events, one at a time, one per thread. The teams will be competing in these events, in this order:
1.) Balance Beam
The teams of 3 will be chained together and must maintain their balance on a narrow balance beam. It won't be easy!
2.) Pie-Eating Contest
Teams will race to eat all of their pies before other teams. But there will be hell to pay if a team member gets ill during the event.
3.) Weightlift
Varying amounts of weight will be added to each team's barbell. They then must hold it up as long as they can!
4.) Jigsaw Puzzle
Teams will race to assemble their puzzle as fast as they can. But beware the traps and decoy pieces!
5.) Swimsuit Competition
Posters here will discuss and rate players' and teams' swimsuit appearances while on the show.
6.) Obstacle Course
Teams will race through an obstacle course together.
7.) Keg Race
Teams compete to finish their beer keg as quickly as possible. Better keep that beer down, or else...
8.) 5K Run
How fast will each of the teams run? You decide.
9.) Hold Your Breath
When will teams run out of air in the 44 degree water? They better stay down there as long as possible, or at least before the hypothermia sets in!
10.) Bowling
In the last and most critical event of the Decathalon, teams will faceoff in a bowling match. Watch out for the gutter.
Scoring
In some events, points will be tallied during the entire session. In others, teams will be eliminated until only 1 remains. The top 3 teams in each event will win Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals, respectively.
Also, for the Decathalon itself, a tally will be maintained to determine how teams do on the entire Decathalon. Given the place/finish order in an events, points will be assigned as follows:
1st Place = 50 pts.
2nd Place = 35 pts.
3rd Place = 25 pts.
4th Place = 20 pts.
5th Place = 17 pts.
6th Place = 15 pts.
7th Place = 13 pts.
8th Place = 11 pts.
9th Place = 9 pts.
10th Place = 8 pts.
11th Place = 7 pts.
12th Place = 6 pts.
13th Place = 5 pts.
14th Place = 4 pts.
15th Place = 3 pts.
16th Place = 2 pts.
17th Place = 1 pts.
Teams with the top 3 totals at the end of the Decathalon will win Gold, Silver, and Bronze Trophies, respectively.
This game will begin sometime on Wednesday, whenever I want it to. And if you forgot who the teams were, they will be posted in a reply below.
Coaches, you have until Wednesday to psych your teams up and trash talk the others.
