The Trackball Surfing Competition finals are about to begin. The refs are there to award points based on pain, humiliation, style, crowd amusement, and distance. An addition to the finals rounds is the ability to enter the Caption Contest as a victim, rated on a scale from -infinity to Billfred. If you wish to challenge any rulings, you must stand on a trackball in the challenge zone until you have finished presenting your case.

[ATannahill]

A CHA CHA, wait, where did my top hat go?

Dude, Ditch the cane, it's time for the CAN CAN.

Crowd averts their eyes.

[RMiller]

And now for your entertainment purposes only, we present Trackball Volleyball with our fearless referees as contestants!

[Chris is me]

Who's got big balls?

[npoe]I'lll get a better one soon[npoe]

[rsisk]

Psst, hey dudes, yeah you guys on the zebra team.... the driver station is at the END of the playing field.

[GaryVoshol]

If we stand behind these trackballs, we don't look quite so round in comparison. Either that, or stripes really are slimming.

[dodar]

to speed up the field reset time, FIRST mutated referees to have giant trackballs instead a legs

[JaneYoung]

Kicking it into overdrive, the refs ruled, kept teams on track, didn't blur the lines, kept their bladders from leaking, and tried not to run over Dan with their super-sized lineup. At the end of the day, they had run out of gas but still had plenty of hot air to spare.

[DonRotolo]

Here we see some of the preliminary results of the Purdue miniaturization project. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060397/) The billiards balls in the foreground can be used for scale comparison.


Gary, that -infinity is going to take a long time to recover from. Trust me, I know

The IRI Planning Committee invited a special guest to give a lecture at IRI in 2008:

Sigmund Freud: "And looking at the referees on the field standing behind those big trackballs, it looks like you're all in for quite an interesting discussion."

Referees: (nervously) "Uh oh..."

[Barry Bonzack]

...and the judges of the "Everything is cooler when it's BIGGER" engineering fair have decided 1st prize goes to the worlds largest Newton's Cradle (http://www.officeplayground.com/Newtons-Cradle-5-Brown-P47.aspx?utm_source=nextag&utm_medium=csc&utm_term=Select&utm_content=Select&utm_campaign=broi&site=www.nextag.com).

[GillSt.Bernards]

referee 1: hmm i wonder if i could crawl inside and run around like a hampster
referee 2: nah you'd need a moon rock for that

[J93Wagner]

Sorry, I realized my original post had I negative connotation.

In its place, I give thee:

This time on Candid Camera. These three referees are on the lookout for penalties, only to find that sitting on the track balls will land you on your back.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

"I told them I would ref. I would wear the funny shirt and pledge to be fair. I even told them I would do a belly check when needed to check for line infractions. But will you look at that plastic in the center of the field! Who is going to clean that? I told them I don't do windows!"

[delsaner]

Yea sure, they each have their own ball, but wheres their other balls? They need more balls.

[AndyB]

The large balls are just over-compensation for the lack of whistles.

[Chris is me]

Tired of coaches complaining about call after call, the referees arm themselves with giant trackballs, ready to chuck at the next challenger.

[Karibou]

Three balls for three refs in two colors...

So, which ref is the oddball?

[BrendanB]

3 grown men and 3 large balls...too bad the are behind a fence.

[Wayne Doenges]

Three Refs, three Trackballs. Coincidence? Probably.

[Ryan Simpson]

Come on. Just one more needed for a game of musical track balls.

[Mr. Pockets]

Unlike most kids FRC folks don't spend their winters building snowmen. They spend their competitions photoshopping them.

[Billfred]

Ha, it's still Sunday! (And daylight at that!)
