A myriad of freestyle competitions for balls, rings and clubs

Battle of the Body Throws
Who can run body throws the longest without needing neck brace rehabilitation?

Concentration
Juggle 5 balls while having a myriad of soft objects pummeled into the side of your face. After 100 catches you may be subjected to some tickling.

360s Combat
One on one. One minute. Choose to attempt 3 up 360s, or to prevent your competitor from doing the same. The competitor with the most 360s at the end of one minute wins.

Isolated Combat
One on one on chairs. No moving. No twisting. Just way too close, in your face, combat.
