The First Tape Measure Olympics

[mlah]

Which is a good point. A solid set of rules still needs to be put on paper. Currently the idea is that there will be two main challenges. A horizontal challenge to see how much distance you can get the tape measure to cover and a vertical challenge that would be judged by however many feet of tape is extended. Each challenge would also likely be broken down into two classes a standard class using regulation tape measures and an unlimited class for those who believe that one brand is superior or who are willing to modify them in order to try to improve the distance.

There would also be several other smaller events. One such event would be tape measure races which would involve connecting one end of a 100ft measuring tape and realing it out and having a person on a wheeled chair hold the other end and try to reel themselves in. I am curious as to what other events people can think of.
