Myself and a coworker are arranging the following shenanigans at work:
Legal,
The gauntlet has been thrown. A certain unnamed person
in the department has declared himself/herself the best air hockey player
ever. We shall see…
Beginning next week, we shall have a single elimination air
hockey tournament. It’ll work like this:
·
We will do a draw of names for the brackets of
everyone who is interested in claiming the title. The brackets will be
put up on a convenient hallway whiteboard somewhere in legal.
·
Competitors will arrange a mutually agreeable
time to play their opponent and will post that time on the whiteboard in the
event observers want to watch.
·
All matches will be played on the table in the cafeteria.
·
Competitors will play a best 2 out of 3 games of
7 points in all rounds leading up to the championship game.
·
We will be using truncated U.S. Air Hockey Association
rules: http://www.airhockeydirect.com/airhockeyrules.html
·
No Topping Allowed.
·
Once the tournament begins, you will have 3 days
to complete your match for each round. Failure to complete your match
will result in a double elimination of both competitors unless one competitor
has refused to set up a time for the match in the three day period, in which
case the innocent party will advance to the next round.
·
The Ethics Office will be the judge of any disagreements.
·
After someone wins a match they shall put their
name on the winner’s line for the next round.
·
The Championship will be broadcast via live video and will be best 3 out of 5 games.
·
Air hockey pucks may be checked out from Allison
or Lisa and shall be returned after each match. Failure to
return the pucks will result in disqualification of both parties.
The Grand Champion will receive a TBD shower of riches and
have bragging rights for the year. If you would like to play, add your name
to the list outside of Chris' office by May 15.
This
tournament is officially unofficial and not sponsored or sanctioned by any Air
Hockey association.
In the words of Ricky Bobby, “If you’re not first, you’re
last.”
