Last Day Celebration

We finally have an outline for the event. The BBQ area has been booked as well as the kayaks and buoys for the different events. Invites have also been sent out. After finding out abotu the funeral that will be going on thie Friday, we have decided to move the beach part of the event to the beach area closer to the cabins just outside the Lake Ainsworth facilities. We are also concerned with getting the paddle boards. The contact e-mail we had for the boards is no good so we have come up with a back-up event in case they don't come through. We have also had at least two people, so far, that have lacked interest in participating with their team. We have a little help on our side with Pam making the event mandatory, but hopefully we'll be able to persuade them to participate at least a little bit. The following is an outline for the event:

• Rules:

• General:

• Each team must have one participant for each event.
• No one on a team is allowed to participate in more than one event.
• If someone chooses not to participate in an event, they will forfeit their participation point for that event.

• Rope sprint (1 team member):

• 1 member from each team will line up on the ground opposite of the rope.
• Each person will lie facedown on the ground with their arms crossed in front of them. They will face the ocean.
• At the whistle, each person must jump up from their position on the ground, sprint to the ropes, and grab one of the ropes.
• There is always one less rope than number of participants so whoever does not have a rope at the end is eliminated.
• The remaining participants will line up again after a short break.
• The race will continue as before until there is only one person left. That person is the winner of the event for their team.

• Beach Sprint (1 team member):

• 1 member from each team will line up at the starting line.
• Participants may start however they like (crouch, standing up, etc.) as long as they have only one foot on the starting line and are behind the line.
• At the whistle, participants must sprint to another line indicator at the opposite side, touch the line with their hand, run back to the original starting line and touch the line with their hand two consecutive times.
• The first person to cross the stating line after 2 laps is the winner of the event for their team.

• Swim in lake (1 team member):

• 1 member from each team will line up at the starting line on the dock.
• Participants may start however they like (crouch, standing up, etc.) as long as they have only one foot on the starting line and are behind the line.
• At the whistle, participants must enter the water at a run and take 4 steps before diving in the water.
• Swimmers must then swim to a buoy placed in the lake, swim around the buoy, swim back, exit the water, and cross the finish line.
• The first person to exit the water and completely cross the finish line is the winner of the event for their team.

• Paddle Boat in Lake (1 team member):

• 1 member from each team will line up at the starting line with their board on the dock.
• Participants may start however they like (crouch, standing up, etc.) as long as they have only one foot on the starting line and are behind the line.
• At the whistle, participants must enter the water at a run and take 4 steps before getting on their board.
• Participants may use both hands at the same time to paddle through the water and sit on their knees, or they may use one after the other and lay flat on their stomach on the board.
• Participants must paddle to a buoy, paddle around the buoy, paddle back, exit the water with their board, and cross the finish line.
• Whoever exits the water and crosses the finish line first is the winner of the event for their team.
• If the participant exits the water without their board, they will be disqualified from placing and will only get 1 participation point.

• Kayak in Lake (2 members of team):

• 2 members from each team will line up at the starting line with their kayaks on the dock.
• Both members must help in carrying the kayak and putting the kayak in the water.
• The member in the front of the kayak must have their foot on the line and be behind the line for the start.
• At the whistle, participants must enter the water and be in the kayak after 4 steps in the water.
• Participants must kayak out to a buoy and judge.
• The first participants to pass the buoy and judge will be the winners of the event for their team.
• If a kayak is flipped during this event or any participant falls off the kayak, those participants are disqualified from placing and will only get 1 participation point.
• There are not double points for this event to account for two team members. The two team members count as one unit.

We also have a tiebreaker event so that if two or more teams end up with the same amount of points at the end, we can declare a winner. If there's an event with a tie, we'll just have those two teams compete in the same event again.

Things that still have to be done are buy/make awards, arrange food for BBQ (we have to discuss this with Pam to see how much money we have), and figure out the paddle board situation. These will, hopefully, be taken care of by Wednesday.
