Bowling rules

Do we really need to explain anything? All four (4) players bowl two games, the team with the most total pins wins! Automatic scoring should be in place. If there are any errors in the scoring, an event coordinator must come over and handle the situation. If there is no clear fix, the frame may be restarted, at the coordinators discretion.

One big score is not going to win you this event, all four players need to be consistent thru both games, if one of your teammates scores under 100, you ARE in trouble!

Softball Homerun Derby rules

Can you hit for the long ball? Our homerun derby is a unique event that you can't find everywhere. There is no messing around in this event. All four hitters will get two rounds of one (1) minute to take as many swings as they can at the five tiers of homerun lines. The homerun lines will be set at 140 feet, 160 feet, 180 feet, 200 feet and 220 feet. All four (4) hitters will get two (2) full rounds at the homerun derby. Tier 1 is worth one point, tier 2 is worth 2 points, tier 3 is worth 3 points, tier 4 is worth 4 points and tier 5 is worth 5 points. After all is said and done - each team will have eight (8) rounds of scores. We will add those scores together and that will be your total team score. Top team score wins. An individual Homerun Derby champion will be crowned as well based on number of points scored combined from both rounds.

Some strategy comes into play in this event. Do you hammer away as many quick swings as you can? Or do you take it slower and concentrate on making every swing really count?

Bags Sure Toss rules

Some events aren't cut out for softball and will be replaced with the bags sure toss! Bags is America's future game. Our bags game is a very unique skills challenge. All four players will toss bags from three different distances and accumulate points. I know, I know, bags doesn't have different distances! Well, the Sure Toss will separate the men from the boys and a goods bags player will be able to adjust from the three tiers appropriately! Each player will toss 3 rounds of 12 bags - 4 from Tier 1, 4 from Tier 2 and 4 from Tier 3. At Tier 1 if you put it on it's 1 point or hole it for 3 points. At Tier 2 if you put it on it's 2 points or hole it for 6 points. At Tier 3 if you put it on it's 3 points or hole it for 9 points. After all is said and done - each team will have twelve (12) rounds of scores. We will add those scores together and that will be your total team score. Top team score wins. An individual Bag Sure Toss champion will be crowned as well based on number of points scored combined from all three rounds.

The only strategy here is do you start from Tier 1 or Tier 3? Scoring does not happen until the end of each round of twelve so your other bags may knock some off the board or better yet - into the hole.

Basketball Sure Shot rules

Can you shoot the rock? Well, now is your time to shine and show off all your basketball skills. The Getaway Games Sure Shot competition involves all four players from your team. Each player will get one (1) minute to accumulate as many points as they can. Points are earned by making shots at different spots on the court.

We will add those scores together and that will be your total team score. Top team score wins. An individual Sure Shot champion will be crowned as well based on number of points combined in both rounds.

So how do you approach this? Do you take the easy shots for lower points? Or shoot the 3 pointers and gain some serious points?

Golf Scramble rules
