well, ours are open to anyone who wants to play. the
problem came when we had an hour of hiking around the site
to get provisions that sometimes weren't there. that and
that damn pvc boat (you should excuse my language). an
elongated pentagon of floppy plastic pipe that had to be
carried everywhere, holding it up with your arms extended
at a 45 degree angle. imagine walking over rough terrain
(in some altitude) like that for an hour. that's what
beat us before we started. my traps are still a bit sore.

i heard that the winner (who is supposed to coordinate the
next year's contest) said next year all we get is rice and
we can bring any spices and herbs we want. some serious
siege cooking there....

not so bad. just don't make me waste a quarter of it
getting the food. ;)
