Warning: This competition may sound confusing. Pay close attention to the rules and please ask questions if you don't understand something.
The men are separated from the ladies in this competition. You're all standing on pedestal atop a rotating circular surface. The men's are going counter clockwise, the women's are going clockwise.
In the center is a large pendulum that's going back and forth. This is sturdy enough to knock you off your balance and onto the mats below, resulting in elimination. This competition will go until there is one person left, which means you're all in for a potentially long night.
When this competition begins, I will be randomly assigning someone to take control of the pendulum. That person will then attempt to aim it at someone on the other side of the field.
(*throws towards [ Name ])The person being targeted has one of two options - they could simply duck in which case the pendulum will swing past them and then swing back to the other side. Or they could catch it.
If they duck, they must post within 3 minutes
(*ducks*) of the initial throw. If the duck is unsuccessful (It's late or they just didn't post) it will hit them and they will fall off the pedestal.
If the duck is successful, the pendulum will swing back to the other side in which the person next in line to the thrower will be presented with the same two options.
On that note, the other option is catch the pendulum and re-direct it's aim. To do this, you must post within
one minute to catch it and throw it towards a new person at the other side.
(*catches and throws towards [ Name ]*) If you the catch is unsuccessful (Late), the catcher will lose balance and fall. If the catcher is able to catch it and throw at someone else, the competition just continues as normal.
Whenever someone is eliminated, the last person to throw will re-throw. If that person does not throw within 3 minutes, anyone's fair game to throw it.
This competition will continue until one person is left. There may be a time where one entire side is knocked out. If it gets to that point, we will randomly shuffle up the sides evenly and continue as normal.
I know this may sound very confusing, but it's all quite simple once you get into and get a hang of what you're doing. Let's do an example off what we see above.
Let's say Kaysar is given the pendulum to start the competition off.
Kaysar throws towards Rachel.
Rachel ducks, the pendulum will now swing towards the person next in line - that being James.
James ducks, it now swings back to the ladies. Next person in line is Michelle.
Now let's say Michelle catches it, she can now throw it to any of the guys. Let's say she throws towards George.
George tries to duck, but is too late and falls. Michelle regains the pendulum and can now throw to anyone again. Competition continues as is.
Due to the nature of this competition, edits and deletions will result in immediate disqualification - no matter the reason.
