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

DROPPER—drops a medium stone (or stack)
SMASHER—smashes ONE w/ sledgehammer—breaks into 2 parts ...
CHASERS—grab the first 2 parts - always get any bits from the SMASHER ..
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

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

PHASE 3 -- The FUN Bit

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

NOW BEGINS THE 'FREE FOR ALL' - STEALING PUNISHED WITH MORE WINE !

DUMP ALL GRAVEL ON GOALIE - count the gravel !
