LAZY MAN'S OLYMPICS - Come and play
Allright all... so I'm gonna try something a bit odd... let's see who's interested.
What I'm planning is a 5-event marathon of (lazy) athletic prowess, mixed with copious amounts of alcohol and seared meat.
When: Saturday July 15th, 2006, starting at 12:00 noon
Where: Various Locations in Kitchener
WTF?: We'll play 5 events, in each event, you earn points - biggest point getter at the end gets the gold! The events are highly demanding challenges that only the most skilled and disciplined athlete will excel in... here's the rough itinerary:
12:00 noon - Meet at Boston Pizza on Gateway Park Drive - have a beer.
12:30 - Begin the first event.... BILLIARDS! A round robin, double elimination tournament on the pay table at BP.
~ 2:30 - end the first event, and head to.....
3:00 SPORTSWORLD!! Where we will compete in 4-somes (dependant on participants) in the gruelling 18 holes of mini-golf! Lowest scores will determine the winner/placings
(*** NOTE - If the weather is uncooperative, or if popular vote says otherwise, the mini-putt will be replaced by Bubble Hockey at BP***)
5:00 we tally up the points, and head to....
5:30 DrTyore's house!!! Where our third event will begin - HORSESHOES!! This event will be another double elimination tourney, first to 10 points!
Also - running simultaneously with this event will be the 4th event
DARTS - 501 game in my basement... don't hit the cat.
<BBQ BREAK!!> - Lighten up, eat meat, and get along. Liberal application of alcohol is expected as well.
Post dinner?
Well, I'm on the forum, so the final even will be a POKER TOURNEY!! NLHE game - play for points, this will (hopefully) be setup to make or break a player.
After the game, the points will be tallied, and the top 3 people will win the prize pool (50/30/20%'s).
After all's said and done, we can continue BBQ / Imbibing / poker games into the evening.
Cost: Well, everyone is expected to pay for their own mini-golf and billiard games, which shouldn't come to more than $10*. Darts, Horseshoes and the poker will all be free / paid for with the LMO buy in.
* - LMO organizers are not responsible for inaccurate estimates of costs inflated (quite necessarily) by the consumption of alcohol!
Buy-in: Well, I'm pretty flexible on this, I was thinking like $20 each, but that doesn't seem like a big payoff for all this strenuous activiity, but I don't want it to be too expensive either... any suggestions / feedback?
Anyways, this is just something I threw together in my head - let's see who's intersted, and if you've any different ideas or feedback, let me know!!
CURRENT QUALIFIERS (i.e. anyone that said "okay")
1. DrTyore Mark
2. Itsame Mario
3. JohnnieH Johnnie
4. BigE Eric
5. AcidJoe Joe
6. Pinhead Brad
7. "Hockey guy" Austyn
8. Zithal Rob
9. * "My Nephew" Tom
10. Hobbes
* - Maybe
BTW it shoudl be noted that just cuz it's called lazy MAN, all genders are welcome to participate, I'm more centered on the lazy part
Also, if REALLY needed, we may be able to fit a couple people in a spare bed... or bring a tent and camp in our backyard!

If you guys coudl bring some BBQ'ables, that'd be very helpful! I have some stuff, but dammit, I've seen Mario eat.

BUT - definitely organize another one this summer or fall and I'll be in. Big E has a 'demonstration' sport for ya, perfect for the Lazy Man's Olympics While Holding a Beer In One Hand. Could be an official event next time around!
