Help With Competition Events

Jman28 · #1 03-02-2005, 12:34 AM

Hey guys. So, my friend and I are competitive people (him more than me), and we decided to have a friendly, intense competition.

This competition will include a large array of events testing all different kinds of skills. The criteria we have decided upon for whether games should matter or not is if we were part of some organization, and they needed to crown a 'champion' what would they test?

So, I'm coming to you guys for ideas. As of now, we have (tentative list):

Intelligence:
-IQ or other test (anyone know where to get a cheap, reliable measure of intelligence?)
-Debate
-Trivial Pursuit

Athletisism:
-Boxing Match
-100 or 200 yd. dash
-distance run

Other:
-Eating contest (one spicy food, one bulk)
-Drinking contest? (we don't know of a safe way to do this, or exactly what we're looking for)
-Rapping (it'll be funny)

We will assign points based on how important the events are and how badly one of us loses.

So, any thoughts on the ideas we already have? or on new competitions that should be used to crown a 'champion'?

It's just for fun, but we both do want a fair, well planned competition. Thanks.

How about a gambling competition? You could each make some sports bets and see who comes out ahead (at least 200 bets), play HU poker, or a stock market competition.

How about a "hoggin'" contest? Or some other getting laid event? This will test the smoothness skills? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

We talked about this briefly before dismissing it. There's really no fair way to go about it, and it's dangerous.

I forgot about RPS and Weboggle.

I'm a big fan of replicating American Gladiators events for the athletic portion; Assault would be especially fun if you have access to some sort of pellet gun or air rifle. You could set up Powerball too, using garbage cans and a couple of large friends as defenders. To cap it off, make some needlessly elaborate obstacle course at your local playground and call it the Eliminator.

God that show was great.

I think RPS should definately be on the list somewhere. Just make sure the match is long enough for your edge to appear.

First to finish Edward Fortyhands for the drinking portion.

You could do a "Two men enter, one man leaves." Basically, each person has to chug a beer every minute. The first person to puke, loses.

You could also combine drinking and athleticism and have a beer mile competition.

I think that would be the worst experience of my life.
