The planning comittee has given me the green light to go ahead with this one. I'm going to be fleshing out the details this week. It will probably occur sometime saturday evening when everyone is congregated near the fire, unless other goings on are happening.

 

Here's the basic scenario:

 

There will be several 5 gallon buckets spread out in a line at a predetermined distance from the contestants. Contestants will line up and throw their bags at the bucket. First one to hit the bucket or sink their bag in it wins that elimination round. Depending on how many people sign up, it may take on more of a tournament style event.

 

Save your questions for the event itself, when the details will be all worked out. meanwhile, if you have any suggestions, send them to me in a PM and if they fit into the mix, maybe they will be applied.

 

This will be loosely based on the way the raft guides do this competition down on the White Salmon, since it was more efficiant then the ways I've seen it done in the past.

 

I will be consulting Hans and Jed for some of the details.

 

For now I'd like people to sign up so I can get an idea in advance who is interested. Hopefully the SWAG CZAR will kick down an apprparitate prize for this event, 'cause rescue is important!
