Dodge Ball:
We've all played it. It is awesome. The thought process is we would play in the hockey rink, side to side. Standard rules apply. You catch a ball, the thrower is out. The ball hits you in the air and you don't catch it, you are out. To make the game more challenging, you would need to be holding your drink the entire game. Since these are just ideas and not actual events, the details aren't fleshed out. I'd assume we would do a best of three rounds type of thing. Pro: Unintentional comedy of potential head/ nut trauma. Con: The media stirring up a concussion controversy.

| Solid idea. |
Shooting Accuracy Contest- Hockey:
I know for a second, some of you were super pumped at the thought of this being a fire arms accuracy contest. The legal and safety division of BroHQ feel that could spell disaster. This is the accuracy contest popularized at the NHL All-Star events (whenever they'll have one again, no one knows). There are four targets placed at the four corners of a goal. The person who hits all four the fastest in an allotted amount of time wins. Pro: Easy, quick event to get in. Con: There is already one classic hockey related event.

Scramble Golf:
We will set sail on the maiden voyage of this Friday "just for fun" event this year. I may or may not be qualified to review a sport I've never officially played. I mean...I've driven balls, putted balls and virtually hit hole in ones, so if I'm not THE expert authority on this sport, I'm pretty damn close. How Scramble Golf has been explained to me: We play based on teams. We all hit our ball. You then get to choose the location of your next shot based on the best location of one your players drives/shots/ putts. Seems pretty straight forward and the potential for an epic afternoon is high. Pro: Nice way to ease your self into the weekend. Sort of like climbing into a scalding hot whirlpool. If you go full throttle, you're going to singe some sack hairs. Con: The amount of lost balls the novice hackers will be responsible for. (avg shot per hole = 4. Rounds of golf = 18. 18 x 4= 72 potential lost balls per hacker)

| FOUR! |
Soccer Shootout:
Much like Field Goal kicking, I admit I've often scoffed at the notion of this being a legitimate contender. I must have softened in my old age, or I'm drunk, but it doesn't sound so horrible. I think only one person would excel at stopping shots, and I think some of us would find it difficult to even hit the net; (I know, I'm doing a great job at selling this) But yet again, the unintentional comedy factor is off the charts for this one. Pro: The hilarious potential for someone to shred a groin...not necessarily their own. Con: Location logistics.
 |
| Potential diamond in the rough. |
Onto the rapid, rapid fire round:
Knockout:
Pro: Driveway events are the best. Con: Already a super fun basketball event in driveway.
 | |
| The 7th grade me loves this game. |
Bocce Ball:
Pro: Italian Pride! Con: Can't play both Bocce and Croquet.
|
| Potential Future Friday Contender |
Football Toss:
Pro: It looked pretty. Con: Not as functional as hoped. Needs modified to be successful.
 |
| Anticlimactic in it's current form. |
Badminton:
Pro: Two words. Shuttle. Cock. Con: Waffle marks on your face via errant racket swings from your partner.
 |
| Took this as a college credit. I excelled. |
Thanks for reading. Remember, if you disagree with any of these rankings, you are sadly mistaken. Have a great day!
