Me and Rocco wanna go, but costing around £50 each for transport +
entrance fee, it's just too much for our summer budget.

Makes it so tempting to go....

If only I had a car, I wonder if Lucas is heading down, might need to
text him.

high quality vodka sitting on my desk that may well be administered
freely.

Last time I drunk vodka I can't remember the whole night. One whiff of
the stuff and I am rat-arsed.

But I really would like to attend, from what I've heard it's really
good. And haven't seen the engineering crew in a long time so that
would be cool.

Err, it's a 2 day convention.

Anyway, since I've vaguely volunteered to organise unicycle jousting
heats on the Saturday[1], does anyone have any thoughts on how best to
do it?

My thought was to put the names of all the participants in a hat, then
draw them at random. Each participant in the heats would get to joust
against 3 others. Each joust would then be best of 3, with points
being scored for a win. The participants with the most points would go
through to the finals.

I'm open to alternative suggestions. We might be able to get everyone
jousting against more than 3 others, depending on how many people want
to joust.

[1] I suggested unicycle jousting to Dave for the games, to go with the
mediaeval theme, but he correctly pointed out that it would take too
long. So if I organise heats on Saturday, we can have the finals in
the games on Sunday.

Jousting! what a great idea (suiting the theme n' all).
Yeah your names in the hat method sounds a good way of doing it,
although perhaps there should be several different categories like age
groups, say 8-10 years, 10-15 years then 15 up, just to ensure there
wouldn't be any really little kids with really big kids etc.

We did jousting at crawley a few year ago. I think there were only about
8 participants so they did it at the end of the games. We were put in
to random pairs and the winner went through to the next round. Each
round was best of three jousts. Having eliminators on the saturday
sounds like more fun though with the anticipation of the final on the
sunday to top it off.

Im going to be there! bringing some friends and family too. its going to
be awesome! Jousting sounds like fun, i did it a few years ago in the
games, but since then there are alot more unicyclists who go, so having
heats is definately a good idea.
Amanda - please come! you know crawley is worth whatever it costs to
get there!! and it would mean you have a really fun birthday! and mike
it would be good if you could come too, you should force lucas to drive
you - the more the merrier!
Looking forward to it! itll be great to see everyone again :)
