Family Day Event Details

[[Team] Kilemal]

Voting for what day to hold Family Day 2010 is officially over, so the date stands at June 13th 2010. The event sign-up poll will remain open for at least another week. The exact time each event takes place will be difficult to estimate because, obviously, one event cannot begin until the last one has ended. The order of events and possible start times should be as follows:


Buggy Races - 10 am
Sniper Competition - 12 noon
Parachute Competition - 1 pm
Helicopter Skills - 2 pm
Knife Fight - 3 pm
Demolition Derby - 4 pm
Please keep in mind that these are merely estimates. I can see the buggy races taking a good hour, or hour and a half, so whatever time one event finishes, we'll move right on into the next event. If your event starts early and you are not present, your participation will be postponed as long as possible until it means everyone sitting around waiting for you. At that point, the remainder of your event will proceed without you.

If all goes well and the events move along quicker than expected, maybe we'll take a little break mid-day for an hour or two.

Anyone who didn't get the chance earlier, or even just forgot to sign up for an event, just be present at the start of the event and make it known to myself or Trap that you would like to compete. As many people as possible will be allowed to compete in each event.

Buggy Race Event Details:

If you thought last years buggy race was tough, you haven't seen anything yet. This years course is brutal. The course itself can very well do your buggy in all by itself if you're not careful. The start / finish line will be at the U.S airstrip. You will race to the dam and cross it taking any course you choose, and return to the start / finish line. You must pass the dam checkpoint in one direction only - in other words: you cannot cross the dam and then turn around and retrace your route. Once you cross the dam in either direction take whatever course you choose back to the start / finish line.

Because of the number of contestants this year, the races will be 4 buggy eliminations, then two 3 buggy semi-finals, and a one-on-one final to decide the winner.

The buggy race will be the first event of the day and should start by 10:00 am at the latest.

Sniper Competition Details (Appx. start time - 11:00am)

The 13 competitors will fire one clip at a moving target on an uneven surface at 250 meters. The person scoring the most damage on the target with 5 shots will be the winner. In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided by repeating the contest at 50 meters more, until a winner is decided. The order of competition doesn't really matter, so it will be decided at the time based upon who is present and when. Once again, the competition will wait as long as possible for you.

Parachute Competition (App. start time - 12pm)

Six jumpers will exit the helicopter at an altitude of approximately 350 meters and land as close as possible to a target approximately 350 meters away. The three winners of the first round will compete in a single three person jump to determine the winner.

Helicopter Skills Competition - (Approx. start time - 2pm)

Leave the start / finish line on the helipad at the U.S base. Pick up three passengers and bring them back to the helipad in the shortest amount of time to win. The three pickups will be in the following locations:


Inside the tunnel under the dam, on the eastern side of the dam. This is the tunnel you cannot fly through because of the turbine (or whatever it is) in one end. You must fly in, pick up the passenger and back out, or turn around inside the tunnel.
Inside the unfinished pipe immediately outside the first pick-up. Fly through the pipe and pick up the second passenger.
The top of the crane at the MEC airbase.
All passengers will be holding the "Enter/Exit" vehicle button as you approach so they will automatically enter the chopper when you are within range. Quickest pilot back to and landing on the helipad is the winner.

Knife Fight - (Approx. start time - 3pm)

First round will be two seven-man fights to the finish, with the winners of those two rounds going head-to-head in a best of five match to determine the winner.
