Congratulations to the Lesbians of Newnham!

Special Mentions

Lesbians of Newnham– For a team member dressed in the cutest Pikachu outfit and their amazing Queen Victoria Dress and the most outfit changes, including one in a Phonebox. Special mention for the Twitter Challenge where they brought the Staff at the Granta a Maserati!

Laser Raptors- They managed to give us the most disappointing entry for any item but gained many points for trying to break science.  So much fire between the Olympic Torch, Hat and Fire Poi!

– Filthy Larpists-We enjoyed their massive Dragon/Dinosaur who appeared many times and joined us at the desk. They also had amazing chocolate cake! And for bringing all the boys to the yard with their milkshake!

Leave it blank for now-They had the most talented team member we have ever met who entertained us by licking his elbow, nose and blowing bubbles without soapy liquid! They also gave the most beautiful rendition of the Elephant Love Medley.

Aquatic Avian- For sheer determination and most points gained through paper and pen!

The Magic Words Are Squeamish Ossifrage- We enjoyed your team entry for your imaginative names and we loved your amazing memory! An entire Chapter of the Bible!!!!!!

Big Damn Heroes-We enjoyed all the armour and weaponry and Nigel was awesome!

Chugs between my jugs- An amazing attempt at some Newnham Stereotypes from a team mostly composed of men!

-Penis – Least Childfriendly name created in a panic

Sc-Avenger , Anything, FBM –For not doing anything apart from turning up at the beginning!

 

Congrats to everyone and we will be having a get-together in The Granta tomorrow night at 7 if anyone wants to come along!

Judging begins again

The Judges are back in the judging chamber and eagerly waiting your entries!

Your mission, if you chose to accept it… κ1 Ask us for a mission (if you dare)


Posted in Uncategorized

Starting tomorrow!

We’re nearly set to start! Here’s how things should unfold:

Wednesday:

9.00 a.m.: We’ll be outside Great St Mary’s with printed copies of the list for anyone who turns up with an interesting hat (Points to the team with the most interesting hat!). It might be worth your while getting a paper copy!

10.00 a.m.: The list goes up online. We’ll post it here and it’ll go on the sidebar.

11.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.: We’ll be in the The Granta by the door, sitting tight and waiting to be brought your excellent items.

Thursday:

11.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.: We’ll be in The Granta for the second day to be wowed and delighted by your finds.

9.00 p.m.: Doors close. If you’re in the room by 9, we’ll judge your stuff, but not if you’re late!

approx. 9.30 p.m. to 10.00 p.m.: Results! Depending on how long final judging takes, we’ll publish the results on the blog, twitter etc as soon as possible and tell anyone who’s stuck around in person.

Some stuff to bear in mind:

  • Completing any whole section of the list will net a 20% bonus on that section’s points
  • You should bring stuff as often as you can! Leaving it all until the end makes for busy busy rooms and bored judges!
  • Points on the list are the approximate maximum for that item — great attempts will get the maximum points, merely mediocre will still get some points. Going above and beyond the call of duty is likely to net you bonus points.
  • Be sure to check the Twitter feed (@CUSH_2012)! Who knows what we’ll post?
  • Unless you ask us not to, we’ll probably post your exciting/entertaining photos and videos, and may photograph items and post them too. They’ll end up on the website or Twitter.
  • We’ll have computers with us, so please bring digital items on USB sticks if you can!
  • Any questions, email or tweet us

See you all tomorrow morning and best of luck!
