Captain’s Log Team Challenge
The Captain’s Log has been a signature of CaptainCon since the beginning where you can earn prizes for achievements throughout the convention. For our 10th year, we’ve added a Team Challenge to it. Now you and your team will not only be earning points toward prizes, but also competing for bragging rights.
Everyone at CaptainCon will be randomly assigned to one of 4 teams: Carpenters, Cooks, Gunners, and Surgeons. We’ll have special ribbons you can attach to your convention badge at the Captain’s Log table to show your team affiliation and recognize teammates.
The Captain’s Log system will keep track of the total points earned by all members of each team throughout the weekend. The team that earns the most points collectively by the close of the Captain’s Log on Sunday afternoon will win the first Captain’s Log Team Challenge. Don’t worry, you can still spend your individual achievement points like normal throughout the weekend without impacting your team’s total.
To make things even more interesting, the CaptainCon Crew will be nominating a Captain and First Mate for each team to participate in the Captains' Challenges to earn their team bonus points. The Captains' Challenges will take place Saturday night during Karaoke. All Team Captains present can participate. If they choose not to, or are not present, then the First Mate can participate. For each event won, the team will gain bonus points in the Captain's Log Team Event. The events are:
Rock/Papers/Scissors - single elimination tournament based on '2 out of 3' wins against the other Captains. Pairings will be random. After a winner is found, the three remaining Captains will compete again for 2nd place round robin style.
Flag Making Competition - All members of the team can visit the Mink the Satyr/Red Bark Crafting booth on Friday and Saturday to buy a flag making kit and make a flag either solo or with other team members. At Karaoke, the Captains will each choose one flag from those made by their team to represent the team. A panel of judges will determine a first and second place winner for best flag.
Best Sea Shanty - The Captain or First Mate (or both) can step up onto the karaoke stage to sing a song. The audience will judge by applause who is first place with all others taking a second place.
Liar's Dice - single game with all 4 captains participating. First person to win claims first place. Remaining three play a second game to see who claims second place.
First place in each competition - 20 bonus points to the team
Second place in each competition - 10 bonus points to the team
