Welcome to your next challenge, High Ball.
In this challenge, each mini-team of 3 will participate together and the scores of both mini-teams will be combined to get the final scores for each of the 3 teams.
Each team's goal is simple, to score as many balls into their team's basket as possible. Players will have 24 hours to score as many balls as possible by using a contraption in which two players hold the base of a tall tower structure and a third player shooting balls to the top of the structure with the players then walking that structure up a hill to dump their ball into a basket to officially score it.
To start this process, one player (the shooter) mails me the phrase:
SHOOTS BALL TO TOP OF PLATFORM
The remaining two players (the walkers) will then have to BOTH mail me the phrase
STARTS WALKING UP THE HILL WITH PLATFORM
within 2 minutes of the shooter sending me a mail. If more than 2 minutes pass from when the ball is shot onto the platform, it falls off and the cycle starts over.
After both walkers mail me the phrase, they must wait AT LEAST 10 MINUTES from the most recent mail (from the 2 of them) to BOTH mail me the next phrase:
BALANCES BALL ON PLATFORM WHILE CLIMBING HILL
This phrase MUST be sent between 10 and 12 minutes from the most recent mail sent.
Once I receive the mail from BOTH PLAYERS, they must wait AT LEAST 15 MINUTES from the most recent mail (from the 2 of them) to BOTH mail me the last phrase in the cycle:
DROPS BALL INTO ELEVATED BASKET
This phrase MUST be sent between 15 and 17 minutes from the most recent mail sent.
After both mail me that phrase, one ball is scored.
The catch with these mails is that whenever walkers must mail me a phrase, BOTH their mails must be sent to me WITHIN 1 MINUTE of each other. So if one of the 2 walkers mail me then the 2nd walker mails me the phrase 1 minute and 1 second after the other walker, the ball drops and the cycle must start over with the shooter.
At any point in the challenge, players within a mini-team can change positions so a shooter can become a walker and a walker can become the shooter but players may only switch positions within their own mini-team of 3.
To clarify, the only requirement for the mails are that you must send it to me and have the CORRECTLY SPELLED PHRASES. For the walkers, all their mails will have a different wait time window (as described above) for when they mail the phrases but they will always have a 2 minute window to both send it or they must start the cycle over. The walkers must also mail within 1 minute of each other or they must start the cycle over.
The team that scores the most number of balls (with the scores of both mini-teams combined) will win this challenge and earn safety from the Gulag.
Any questions?
