All Star Skills Competition Poll

Apparently, no one liked my selections for the likely All Star Skills Comp winner, as the winner of the Poll was a resounding "Other", with 80% of the vote. I guess we'll see who comes up with the prize in that contest 4th of July weekend.

To recap, the All Star Skills comp is going to be a 3-parter, with individual and overall prizes.

The first contest is going to be the "Long Ball" contest. This contest will consist simply of a ball, a foot, and a long-ass measuring tape. The rules are simple: longest ball wins.

The 2nd is going to be the "Target Shoot". This contest consists of targets placed on the ground around the field. The object is to get as many balls as possible into the targets and accumulate the most points. We'll probably roll with 10 balls or so per combatant.

The 3rd contest is the real deal. The culmination of all of the skills necessary to succeed in the IDKA. I need to think of a clever name for this one (and the others for that matter), but it's coming. It breaks down like this: vertical targets will be placed on the 1st and 3rd base lines. A contestant will attempt to kick the ball through one of the targets and run to 1st. At first they'll be given an open beer and a kickball. There will be a target between 1st and 2nd the contestant will need to hit with the ball. As the contestant rounds 2nd, he/she will have a ball thrown at s/him s/he'll need to dodge. From there the contestant must finish their beer and sprint their way home. Fastest time wins. Time penalties will be assessed for not accomplishing the tasks, including not finishing the beer before crossing home.

I'm going to talk to some of the sponsors and try to line up some prizes for this jazz... Or if yr a sponsor and would like to get yr name on one of these things, get at me...

New poll coming soon.
