Sledgeball 2.0 -- Gravel making party

Principles

• Teams: Red / Blue / Green .. etc. - as needed - EQUAL PLAYERS
• Timed event—AND/OR—Each team start with equal Medium stones ..OR BOTH?
• Game over when TIMER UP - &/OR - ALL GRAVEL IS MADE
• Teams start with equal amounts ofstone (each individual brings 10 Medium stone

The PLayers in each team...

• "Dropper" -- Stationary - holds all the medium stones
• "Smasher" -- Stands next to the Dropper and smashes each stone as dropped
• "Goalie" -- Stationary - At either end of the field (Alt is ideal)
• "Chasers" -- Mobile - Runs and picks up the stones to hand to their Goalie

The Field - open gravel crunching field ..

• Dropper and Goalie for RED and BLUE teams set up equal distances APART .. [Dropper and Goalie might be across field from each other]
• CHASERS/ pickers are mobile .. [stealing can be punished by another glass of wine or?]

HOW TO PLAY:

PHASE 1

1. DROPPER—drops a medium stone (or stack)
2. SMASHER—smashes ONE w/ sledgehammer—breaks into 2 parts ...
3. CHASERS—grab the first 2 parts - always get any bits from the SMASHER ..
4. CHASERS—Hand all the stones to your DROPPER

Hint; Dropper and Smasher can get into a rhythm and keep the chasers hopping .. 1-2 1-2 .. etc. Continue until ALL medium stones into 2 pieces—and all pieces stashed back on the Dropper

PHASE 2

1. DROPPER—drops all next size stone bits ..
2. CHASERS—REPEAT as each size gets to pre gravel
3. CHASERS—Hand all the stones to your DROPPER

PHASE 3 -- The FUN Bit

1. CHASERS—run amok - beat the clock
2. when THE next step is gravel .. everyone can make the gravel

• NOW BEGINS THE 'FREE FOR ALL' - STEALING PUNISHED WITH MORE WINE !
• chasers and everyone now—CAN RUN AMOK SMASH gravel, PICK and stash
• DUMP ALL GRAVEL ON GOALIE - count the gravel !
