Don't know if any of you have ever heard of this game, but it'd be perfect to play at Bonnaroo.
All you really need are two pvc pipes about 5 to 6 feet in length, a couple small flower pots with a bag of sand to fill each one up with, then you put the pipes in the pots filled with sand, put an empty beer bottle on top of each pipe, and begin!
If you guys don't know how to play, it's easy. It's designed for two teams of two on each side, and each player has to have a drink in one hand. The object of the game is to score 21 points by knocking off your opponent's beer bottle with a frisbee. The point accumulation are as follows:
1 point if: - the opposing team drops the frisbee when trying to catch it - If it hits the pole and the opposing team catches the frisbee and the bottle 2 points if: - the opposing team catches the bottle but not the frisbee 3 points if: - the frisbee hits the pole and the opposing team doesn't catch the frisbee or the bottle.
Have to win by two, very very fun game! We are more than likely bringing supplies for it, so if you're in VIP area and see some guys throwing a frisbee at a pvc pipe, don't hesitate to stop by!
Man, I thought I invented that game! Only I use a 2x4 instead of a pipe. I can't really say I'm any good, but it's easily one of the funnest games ever. I'm gonna start practicing now.

I enjoy poles better because of the balance factor! But yea, start brushin up so I can get some competition. NO one ever seems to be able to beat me. ;D
This is very similar to a British pub game called "Aunt Sally." I played it at the Cropredy Festival in England a few years ago. I sucked at it! But it was fun--I hope to do it again when I go back to Cropredy this year.
Anybody want to start Polish Horseshoes in the non-VIP area for us peons?

I've never seen this played before, so I have a question: What stops the teams from just whipping the frisbee at the bottle hard, so you have no chance to catch either on every throw? Also, how often does the bottle happen to break? If either of these questions do not apply, because I'm picturing this wrong, please disregard or educate...

Yeah, I didn't really explain it very well. When you throw the frisbee, it's in good taste to throw it at a resonable speed that is still tricky to catch, but not an absolute bullet that could cause people to lose teeth, eyeballs, ears and the like. A nice straight solid shot at the pole or bottle is the better way to go, more accuracy. Besides, that's just annoying when one team constantly whips the frisbee as hard as they can every time, no action.
As for the bottle breaking, it doesn't happen very often. It's happend....but it's very rare, unless you whip the frisbee at the bottle as hard as you can and it happens to hit the bottle dead on.
It really is a fun game though! I hope that we can get some good games going!

I'd love to get some games going at Roo. I wish there were more wide open areas to do so.
I know it's a stupid wish, but every year I just wish they had a Pool table there.... somewhere. My friends and I would have a blast hustling some neo-hippies.
I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!
