Two competitors enter the ring, one will leave victorious. :)
I think we had 4 rounds, with the possiblilty of 5 as a tie breaker.
1st person to have thier hoop hit the ground loses the round.
The audience determines to winner of each round, with the 3 judges having final ruling.
Officials:
Judges : Tanya, Nadia, and Carla, with Sharon as the alt judge when a judge is competing
Ring Girl : Blue
Master of creating our ring : Awno, Tony, (who else was going to do this? I can't remember :)
MC - ? Turo?
Questions:
Do we want to have the contestants all start with 2 or 3 items of clothing, and each time they lose a round they must lose and article of clothing?
Do we want different divisions? Mens, Womens, lightweight (new hoopers), heavy weight (pro hoopers)?

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 1:00 PMAbout the number of rounds... The way we did it was:
First contestant to win 3 points wins.

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 3:53 PMShould we add: first person to get driven from the ring and/or drop their hoop loses? that's how it is in real sumo.
so: drop the hoop OR step out of the ring. lose a point.
whadddya think?
otherwise, we don't really even need a ring!

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 3:58 PMI thought we did best three out of five. In any case, I think it should be best two out of three rounds, with the finals being best three out of five. Casting sounds good to me.
As far as clothes: if it's best 2 out of 3, then fighters can wear no more than 3 items of clothing into the ring. Same for final, 5 items. This way, if someone does not want to end up being completely naked (hoops and genitalia don't always mix) they can at least have something on. Maybe we can make a rule whereby, if a contestant loses, they can get one more round if they get naked.
What counts as clothes: shirt, pants, bra/top, underwear, shoes (a pair is one item, same for socks).
Still thinking... -

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 4:12 PMWhile I'm personally fine with this rule, I'm not sure we should go with the "lose an item of clothing" part of this competition. That aspect alone will cause more than a few people who would normally be down with this to not take part, and I feel that for this reason alone we should reconsider it. Not *everything* we do or create has to have a "debaucherous" edge to it... or does it? -
-
Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 4:14 PMAnd yes, I think if you're forced out of the ring, you should lose the round (a 10-12" ring sounds about right). And we should keep it at five rounds, otherwise it's over too quick and we'll miss the dramatic comebacks from competitors who are down 0-2...

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 4:16 PMmmm... maybe? ;)
We could also have the strip version be one of the divisions, so people who \ want to compete with just points can, and the exhibitionists in our midst can strip (or in Nadia's case, chase her opponent down to the ground and forcefully remove the article of clothing...) -

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 4:17 PMokay, that didn't work :)
my last post, the 1st maybe was in response to Big D's question about everything we do having to be debaucherous :) -

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 4:57 PMpersonally I am a little skeptical about hooping in the buff. I am imagining my guy flapping back and forth while I try and keep the hula on my waist...then that accidental swiping it might take during battle. It would be sad to have an out of commission penis while on the playa.
But i say to you all, bring yo A game, Tanya (the official champion of Summo Hoop) you are going down girl!!
I'm talking rocky style, I am off to iceland with polly to train!!
I love you all and I thank you for reminding that I am still a kid!! You go carla the Don King of sumo hoop!!
in meta,
awno -

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 11:44 PMGood point about the hazards of hooping in the nude. We want to keep our men in good working order. It might be fun to break up the hooping contest with silly stuff like the "strip a poi spinner" challenge. I'm sure we can come up with other equally ridiculous ones. -

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Tue, August 1, 2006 - 10:33 AMOkay, looks like the concensus is no nakedness... works for me...
So back to the rounds... 2 options:
•best 2 out of 3
•1st person to reach 3 points (most likely 3 out 5)
my vote would probably be best 2 out of 3 with the finals possibly being 3 out 5, just because it's going to be pretty hot out there during our competition :) -
-
Re: Rules of the SHIT
Tue, August 1, 2006 - 10:50 AMWe can start it around 4pm, after the sun has dropped and cooled off a bit. I still think we should keep it as "1st person to reach 3 points (most likely 3 out 5)", otherwise some people will be out as soon as they've started. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Rules of the SHIT
Tue, August 1, 2006 - 10:56 AMI like 3/5, because it means I get to watch the pretty girls shake their hips more. :)

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Thu, August 3, 2006 - 7:04 PMBlue - What "scientific findings" are you giving a talk on? The behavior of cracked out individuals on Sunday morning? The effects of 72 hours of non-stop House? I'm curious...

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Wed, August 2, 2006 - 2:22 PMHere are some more Sumo rituals we may wish to adopt, with some modifications:
"Yagura" - A wooden drummer's tower in front of sumo arenas which yobidashi traditionally use to drum up business before the day's matches. Note: In our case the drum(s?) could be used to add drama to the matches themselves.
"Shikiri" - A ritual performed by the rikishi (hoopers) before each bout. Sometimes popularly referred to as the "salt-throwing ceremony".
Note: I recommend that we substitute playa dust for salt.
"Shikiri-sen" - The starting lines from behind which the rikishi (hoopers) make the initial charge, or "tachi-ai ", that opens each bout.
Note: Why not?
"Shokkiri" - Comical display, including demonstrations of sumo fouls and other horseplay, performed by lower ranking rikishi (hoopers).
Note: During halftime. In a similar slot to the Strip-the-poi-spinner segment. -

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Wed, August 2, 2006 - 2:56 PMAll great ideas.
I was gonna bring up the salt throwing thing, but thought "nah" 'cuz it not.... "green", or whatever.
But yeah, we can throw playa dust! Nice one! -

Re: Rules of the SHIT
Wed, August 2, 2006 - 3:16 PMAll phenomenal ideas by Paris! I say we incorporate all of them. Nice work, buddy! -
