Hi all, I attended funtastiks this year and saw for the first time the ironman and superman events. These were a combination of basic kicking, net, a little freestyle, and golf. It was fun to watch and I felt like I should have competed after seeing it.
I think more tourneys should incorporate alternative events. The classic footbag scene had events like doubles distance one pass, golf, ironman, consecs, doubles freestyle, etc... We can make new events that encourage more people to enter (meaning people enter the tourney to do the minimum required to promote the sport, nothing worse than a so called tourney which all the players who have been practicing most dont enter at all)
We can make new events or adapt old ones. Ill start with changing doubles distance one pass to a doubles distance delay contest. Teams of 2 line up server(foot serves) and catcher, then start trying to get a delay from the longest distance in a 2 minute time, then the server and catcher switch, 2 more minutes and then the team with the furthest delays wins. So what kind of fun individual or team oriented games can you think of to have at a tourney?
