The Teams

When naming your team be creative and clever, you guys,

For if the Council deems yours best you'll gain points as a prize!

We know it can be hard to come up with a title that is new,

But you can always use another word for your team's assigned hue!

Team Instructions 2014

The build up has always been part of our games:
The pranks, the bribes and awesome team names.
And just as expected there are points to be earned
Revenge to be taken and rivals to be spurned.

Winning all the points will be worth all the work,
When you show up for the race with a lead and a smirk.
In out order to stagger the start to our quest,
The witches put together six short little tests.

On October seventeenth, before you compete
We need a roster of who will attempt each feat.
What the challenges are, no team can know
Unless they've got a ranking to show!

Finish in third place and we'll tell you each game title
Any place less and good luck will be vital.
Second place wins descriptions to go with each name,
And being in first let's you skip a whole game!

To avoid any confusion, we've provided a chart,
Of what you can do to earn a race day head start.
Remembering that witches appreciate all excesses,
We'll throw in extra if your team can really impress us.

POINTS
2 points for naming the new witch (Yellow)
2 points for best team name
4 points for winning at the park (Blue)
1 point per house pranked
extra points for awesomeness as the witches see fit

We'd like to ask just one more small request,
Please bring a potluck dish you like best.
It can be sweet, healthy, gluten free of hearty,
On per couple for our wicked after-party!

************** is where we will start
Get there at *:** on the dot if you're smart.
The competition ends on October Eighteen,
Who will arrive first where the witches convene?

Next Sunday

Next Sunday at six, when it's not yet dark

We’ll all gather at the new witch's park.

No more will the teams be concealed,

By luck of the draw, your fate revealed.

Is your team ready for the witches' quest?

We'll all find out with our first little test.

Win these points and gain an advantage

So you'd best be there if you can manage.

Bring the kids to witness all the ado,

And a dessert to share with our motley crew.

A bag of candy corn, also would be swell.

What that is for. . . well, witches never tell.

The new witch's name will make a debut

Will it be the one submitted by you?

Please RSVP if you'd be such a dear,

A quick yes or no, if you will appear.

Your First Challenge

We’re thrilled you’re joining us for the Council’s dare.

This year there will be two nights to our little affair.

September twenty-one, the captains draw their teams,

But the evening won’t be as laid back as it seems.

You can bring your family for the first night of fun,

And know that there will be points to be won!

Plus our new witch is nameless which just won't do.

So being good witches, we left the naming to YOU!


Each player can make just one single submission,

And it must end with an "a" is her only condition.

You'd better think hard to make sure that she's awed,

The winner earns the first two points for their squad!
