Kudos to you if you come up with a fun challenge for teams!

Duckie,

I just had a flashback to the mentors and assorted others only (there were very small children involved as human players) driving match at the Capital Clash. I was laughing so hard I had to sit down.

I was one of the organizers. It was in a very public venue (the Digital Edge Expo at the DC convention center.) I kept thinking "I don't know how this looks to the public in the stands" but it was so much fun we didn't stop it.

It was also the very first time I heard Greg Needel as announcer. We were swapping people in and out. He was/is amazing.
