Stretch your body, and prepare your mind for a truly unique Olympic event! The competition begins at 2:30 pm sharp. Please arrive at 1:00 pm so that we can warm up and get some practice in beforehand to be fully prepared for the six official races.

Team Essef will be racing against other teams at the same time in Beijing, London, Salvador, Tokyo, and Wellington.

GAME DAY INSTRUCTIONS

We will be running each race (a 3-circuit labyrinth and a 7-circuit labyrinth) three times each. We will submit videos of our fastest time for each event.

We will be synchronizing our races, so we're running at these times:

23 August 2008 2:30 pm PDT
3-Circuit and 7-Circuit Labyrinth Finals.
Three rounds each; best time counts.
The 3-Circuit Event in three rounds: 2:30, 2:35, 2:40.
The 7-Circuit Event in three rounds: 3:00, 3:05, 3:10.

After each race, our team will twitter @ariadnelost and use the tag #lostring so we can keep up with the scores. Hopefully someone will be watching the omphaputer using the most important game command to see if we get real-time scores from the other worlds, too.

I've got a new camera phone so I'll be able to take better wall video.
