For the final events…recommend we go with the ‘Wacky Sports’, with a lesser point 
value, to close out the ‘competition’.  The above series ensures there is some activity 
every evening during the week, leaving weekends free…and will not impact scheduled 
events Friday nights.   
 
I still don’t have an idea where to go with prizes (other than bowling), and what a 
‘Captain’s Trophy’ should be, or should look like.  I would suggest when we advertise 
this, we ask if there are EC participants that want to field an entire team, or those who 
simply want to be a part of a team.  I could go to a trophy shop at Edwards, take a few 
coins, and create something.  Maybe we can address ideas tomorrow…  At any rate, this 
should give opportunity for lots of group (all-country) participants, and if we ensure we 
have ‘captains’ for all four countries represented in each team in the competition, we 
should be able to ensure a good EC ‘mix’.
