Jackass Tournaments

Many attendees are beginning to label Pittco for the Jackass Tournaments held. Jackass Tournaments are meant as a break to gaming, where attendees don't need to be at their best in their favorite game to win a prize.

Early on in the day, a Musical Chairs tournament was held. Of course, this isn't your kindergarten version of musical chairs. Towards the end of the tournament, the rules were thrown out the window and the game became very physical.

Throughout the LAN, several events were held, but none could quite top Pittco's newest jackass tournament, the Clamato Bowl. The goal of this tournament wasn't to win, but rather punishment. While the winning team would receive a giant stash of energy drinks, the second place team would have to drink one of Mott's most horrible drink conconctions, Clamato. Clamato is meant to be an energy drink, but the primary ingredients of clam juice and tomato juice don't make it too tasty. Teams of four competed in Quake 3 to take home the winning or losing title.

One of the last jackass tournaments held is one of Pittco's oldest, stretching all the way back to their third event: Karaoke. One of Pittco's senior staff members is also a DJ, so we have a full Karaoke software suite available to us. We had a large turnout of close to 15 people partipate in the event. In the end, long-time favorites such as r0bvious came out winners. In the photos below, you can also enjoy looking at Colin belting out some tunes.

The final jackass tournament Pittco held is also Pittco's oldest: the ice chest. Pittco serves up free pop and water for the duration of the event, and the ice in the coolers are mostly melted by the end of the event. The terms of the contest are simple: whoever can submerge their held in the icy waters the longest wins. The winner at Iron Storm 8 held their head in the ice chest for a whopping 2 minutes and 31 seconds.

At the conclusion of the ice chest, most of the remaining attendees cleared out, leaving one huge mess for the staff to clean up! After clearing everything, the staff held a meeting at the end of the event about the ups and downs of the event, and to try and pick a date for Pittco's summer event.
