> Thrown Weapons Competition
>
> There will be a series of three novelty throws, one each for axe,
> knife, and spear. Points would be earned for each weapon type and the
> winner is the one with the highest point total. Fabulous prizes will
> be awarded for first and second place. The prize for first place is a
> Grendal knife with an antler handle and leather sheath.
>
> Axe: A three foot section of log would be suspended from the apex of a
> tripod. The log would be approximately 8 inches in diameter and would
> have a 3 inch circle painted in the middle of it. Each thrower would
> get 5 throws scoring 1 point for a stick in the log and 2 points if
> the axe sticks in the circle for a maximum score of 10 points.
>
> Knife: In essence it will be a 5 card stud poker game. 13 cards, one
> each of ace through king, will be attached to the target face. Each
> thrower will get 5 throws. The scoring will be based on the `hand'
> each person earns and how many cards are hit with the knife. 1 Point
> will be earned for each card hit plus 5 points for a 5 of a kind, 4
> points for 4 of a kind, etc., down to 1 point for a one of a kind. The
> knife must stick in the target for any points to be earned. The
> maximum score would be 10 points.
>
> Spear: Ropes will be laid out on the ground to form a Tic-Tac-Toe
> board with 12 inch squares. A line will be placed 20 feet from the
> board and throwers must stay behind this line. Scoring will be based
> on the number of throws it takes to get 3 in a row. If it is done in 3
> throws the player earns 10 points, in 4 throws the player earns 9
> points, etc., down to 1 point for 12 throws.
