- I do hope to be able to put up descriptions of all events soon. Some of the events are pretty self-explanatory (international skids, for example: performing the longest possible skid on a 'track' slicked with xanthan gum). To whet your appetite, in Association Bobbage each competitor jumps off a platform x centimetres above a swimming pool, but on entry his head must remain above water. All successful competitors go through to the next round, when the platform is raised to x + 1 centimetres. The event continues until only one competitor remains.
- It sounds pretty silly, but that's part of its appeal. -- Katherine Shaw 13:05, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)
