Garbage Collector
Teams consist of one goalie and any number of forwards
and guards. Each goalie stands on a chair, holding the
garbage can in both hands. Team captains go to the
centre of the playing area for a jump ball. The ball may
be advanced by dribbling, carrying or kicking (depending
on the type of ball being used). "3.3.3" must be
observed: the players may not have possession of the
ball for more than 3 seconds, take more than 3 steps, or
bounce or dribble the ball more than 3 times. If this
happens, the ball must be given to the closest player
from the other team. Points are scored by landing the
ball in your goalie's garbage can. The goalie may assist
by extending the basket in various directions- he may
not step down from the chair. Physical contact is not
permitted!
Secret Agents
Two participants act out as the world's top secret agents.
With a third member giving the self-destructing
instructions, the first two must solve a crazy world crisis
provided by the audience, using the greatest secret
agent techniques that would put Inspector Gadget to
shame!
