Adventurace

So there I was...planning to post in detail all the obstacles our team went through to finish first in the adventurace 2008...UNTIL...we were screwed of the position due to no apparent reason except 'judges decision are final'. It all started when at one leg we were given a math equation and we were supposed to find the combination which gives the highest value. Fine, after one attempt, we succeeded and sent in the answer via sms as we were told.

The reply said we were wrong,so we kept trying. after being frustrated for one hour and 20 minutes, some committee members showed up at our checkpoint and verified that our first answer was right. AND that the 1 hour 20 mins extra will be shaved off the final time. We reached the finishing line at 5.47 pm while the first team there was 5.30-ish. So according to our waived time, our official time should be 4.30 something pm. BUT before the ceremony, the judges said that they wanted to forfeit the extra time for our team and another team's, causing us to drop from 1st and 2nd to 4th and God knows what. If this was done to you with a simple reason of judges decision is final, won't you love to tie up them judges and fire paintball pellets at them?

We called for a meeting with the organizers on Monday, we shall see how things turn out.
