Volympics - Drunken Pushball

Drunken Pushball

THESE ARE THE RULES FROM THE LAST VOLYMPICS!
SCHEDULING THIS YEAR WORKS DIFFERENTLY!
WE USE THE NEW, LARGER FIELDS!

The Event:

When the houses of Dwarves used to compete against one another back in the homeland, one of the most favored events was drunken pushball. Why was this a favorite? Because it was required that in order to compete, one had to first get drunk, of course!

We bring this modified event of our beloved pushball to Puddleby now, except we've added more beer!

Teams of 4 exiles will compete against one another for honor and prizes. This event will be a single elimination tournament. If you win, you advance to the next round against another team who has also won. The winning team of the tournament will get the First Place Score, the second place the Second Place score, the two teams that will be tied for third get the Third Place score, and the four teams tied for 4th get the Fourth Place score (see the scoring scrolls). There will be no score awarded to the Fifth Place team in this event. The more you win, the more beer you get to drink. BEER!!!

Ok, so getting down to business. Each team, at the start of the pushball, will be required to drink four (4) beers per exile (16 beers per team). The first team to score 3 points wins. Every two (2) minutes after the start, time will be called and both teams must come drink 2 more beers per exile (8 beers per team). Should the event last more than 16 minutes (all times ooc), the event will be called over, and the team with the most points wins. Should there be a tie at this point, a sudden death round will be played in which both teams will compete sober and the first team to score a point wins. Sudden death, sober, quite fitting if you ask me!!! Please also see the Rules section below.

The Rules:

All rules listed on the Rules page apply to this event.
Teams are responsible for setting up times amongst themselves on when to compete. We will assign who competes with who, and provide contact information as well as a date by which your competition must be complete.
Teams MUST compete within the time frame provided on the Dwarven Volympics Calendar. Make sure to set the calendar to your time zone as it defaults to Greenwich time zone. You MUST also e-mail the event chairdwarf with your scheduled time a MINIMUM of 24 hours in advance (ooc hours) to ensure a) that there is no time conflicts with other teams and b) so we can be there with the kegs.
If a team does not show up for a scheduled time, they will be considered the losers.
If neither team shows up on time, then both teams will be losers. The next team that the winner of this event would have played will automatically be considered the winner. The same applies if the teams do not complete their event by the deadline we provide. If you have time-zone constraints, please contact the event chairdwarf and we will work something out. No other excuses will be considered.
If less than 4 exiles show up to compete on a team, the game will commence. However, if the teams are lopsided, that's just too bad.
