Choosing Events For Pent XIII

Since the struggle to set a date for Pent XIII is going in circles, I thought I would start a new debate for us, the defacto Pentathlon Organizing Committee. I can only put up 10 choices, so I suppose you can write in your vote too. Also, I'm assuming no one wants to see Ms. Pac Man again.

Remember, the poll is multiple choice.

even when YOU know that no one wants to see it again makes it a failed event.. this will go down as the caps / paper football / scrabble events!

GO-AT!!!!!!!

The have new (still the safe kind) Jarts for sale at Kmart & Dicks. Maybe we should invest.

That could be very painful. But what the hell, we're always interested in new "old man variety" games.

Croquet was a unique challenge at Pent 8. I thought it was a fair event because no one knew how to play and there was a good bit of drama. I have to say...I would love to see air hockey, bubble hockey or skee ball some day, but unless there is a nearby Chuck E. Cheese, that can be tough.

Coaches used to have bubble hockey... im not so sure anymore...

I would like to do air hockey.

I have to say..how about the strength of All-Conditions Bocce in this poll? I knew Beer Pong would be popular, but is there a more beloved event in Pent history than Bocce? I can't think of one. Maybe Word Challenge.

I would like to see bean bag toss (Corn Hole) back into the mix. Justin and I were talking about par 3 golf. He mentioned one in Waterford...Valleyview I believe is the name of the place.

Hmmm...

Horseshoes
Projectile Toss
All-Conditions Bocce
Beer Pong
Golf or Cornhole?

I guess it all depends on how Golf fits into the day's schedule. Kolenda's Kottage is so remote..it can make it tough. If he do Beer Pong, I recommend we make it the first event of the Pent, so the winner and runner-up are blitzed out of their brains for the rest of the day.

As much as I like golf, Cornhole or even Donkey Balls would be a much better choice since Beer Pong (a drinking event) is part of the required format. That way we dont have to go anywhere.

Hold on there a second. There is a driving range and putt-putt (not to mention ice cream) a mile or 2 up the road.

It is the hub between such hot spots as:

Canadohta Lake
Union City
Cambridge Springs
Meadville
Titusville

Wait.... I almost forgot there is a bar in Blooming Valley (about 5 miles away) that has a great shuffle board table. They also have darts and pool. I believe it is called "Butch's". (update: it may have changed it's name to "Chenoa's Place")

I'm sure we'll take this survey into account when the Pent XIII Org. Committee [speel?] meets.

Sorry hun, but I LOVE Beer Pong. I suck though, I can only get about 2 in then I'm done. So I'm in for that.
As for cornhole/bean bag we have one of those too...Go Bills!
