Water Warfare Olympics
Water Warfare Olympics
Since the Summer Olympics are going on over in Beijing, China, it got me wondering: if there were to be a Water Warfare Olympics, what events would participants compete in?
I have some ideas, but would like to see what others might have in mind before posting up event suggestions. Got fun ideas for a Water Warfare Olympic event? Share your thoughts below!
Soak on!

Hmm....
> Long distance water balloon throwing
> WBL accuracy: target shooting
> Soaker accuracy: target shooting
> Obstacle course: combination of running, advancing, and shooting; score based on targets and time to complete standard course. May add automated sentries/self-shooting-aiming guns that take away points when the player is hit.

----> 4v4 Squad Battle. 1 squad per country, 1 hour unlimited OHS.
----> 2v2 Doubles Duel. 1 partnership per country, 10 minute unlimited OHS.
----> 1v1 Artillery Duel. Two people stand stationary and fire launcher rounds at each other, 1 per turn. They also set targets. Targets can be hit by direct shots [nail them all and get an extra life], but a player is only eliminated with a clearly angled hit. Distances could be adjusted, as could amount of ammo [either unlimited or automatic defeat if one player runs out].
----> 100v100 Civil War. Open field, the only movement allowed is forward. Players must make it to the opposite side, 1HK elimination. If players on both sides survive, they must face a 2nd round and so on until one side is totally gone. No refills other than carried water.

Re: Water Warfare Olympics
Some other thoughts:
110m target soak - athletes must run 110m while soaking targets spaced 10m apart; all targets must be hit; fastest time wins
110m stream dodge - similar to the 100m target soak, but instead of shooting at targets, targets fire at the runner (alternating high or low streams); athletes must avoid as many streams as possible; fastest time with least hits wins
100m single soak - athletes must sprint 100m with their soaker, then hit a target placed 10 meters away (on one side) from the end point; target being hit stops timer; fastest time wins
800m soaker relay - teams of four athletes run along a track, one at a time. Instead of passing a baton, they pass their soaker on; at the end, the final athlete must hit a target placed 10 meters away (on one side) from the end point; target being hit stops timer; fastest time wins
synchronized soaking?

Re: Water Warfare Olympics
I like all the ideas here, but I think DX's idea is fantastic. Countries fighting with soakers would be funny to see.
Some type of timed running and gunning scenario (between say, a dozen different stations) with various types of soakers would be good as well. Hitting the targets reduces your time, best time wins.

Re: Water Warfare Olympics
Perhaps thet could do something like synced shooting. Athletes use their soakers to create cool-looking streams of water to impress the judges.
Re: Water Warfare Olympics
An idea that we could use directly from the Olympics are:
10m Shooting - Pistol/Light Rifle class
10m Shooting - Light/Mid Rifle Class
Trap Shooting/Target shooting - Mid/Heavy Rifle Class
Just wondering, but if one company designs the gun, and they originate in say, the US, couldn't they say they don't ship internationally, and make a bunch of super guns?

Re: Water Warfare Olympics
I would assuming, akin to my understanding of how things are done in the Olympics, is that for blasters, there would be a general set of guidelines regarding dimensions, capacity, weight, etc. IMO, for this imaginary tournament, I'd expect water blasters used to have the requirement of being hand-pumped/pressurized.
As for the US having some super gun that isn't shipped internationally, people could simply then enter the US to buy them and use them here. If a person cannot legally take a super water blaster out of the US, that would also affect the US team, too.
