Walkway Freeze · Office Olympics

Freeze every attempt when someone enters the walkway. Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket.

  • Freeze every attempt when someone enters the walkway. Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket.
  • Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket. Use a bin, three soft paper balls, a taped line two comfortable paces away, a clear lane and a bracket sheet. Draw one entry per player; fill a power-of-two bracket with byes if needed. Post one unscored practice toss and three scored tosses per match. Opponents alternate three tosses each from the same posted line. A ball must stay in the bin. Most makes wins the best-of-three-toss match and advances; a tied match uses one extra toss each, then a coin draw if still tied. Players with a bye advance without an invented match win. Eliminated players may join an unscored practice lane, with no extra bracket points. The paper ball must be released wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release or a passed toss uses its ordinary slot for 0 makes. During a safety stop, remove only the interrupted toss result and replay that slot once the lane is clear; keep earlier completed tosses. House bracket points: each played match win earns 1 challenge point; a bye earns 0. Count makes only to decide that match. The bracket intentionally gives advancing players more matches. The final match winner is bracket champion; report their match-win total alongside the bracket. Do not award the title to someone from unrelated station totals. Selected rule: Mark the actual walkway and keep the bin lane outside it. If anyone enters, stop immediately, retrieve only when clear and restart the affected toss without using one of the player’s three match tosses. Do not hurry a passerby. Replace only the interrupted attempt: erase its affected result before replay and keep earlier completed results. No safety replay adds a second scored slot. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.
  • Score Walkway Freeze · Office Olympics as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Walkway Freeze · Office Olympics; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Soft Gear Only · Office Olympics

Use only soft moving props for this toss station. Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket.

  • Use only soft moving props for this toss station. Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket.
  • Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket. Use a bin, three soft paper balls, a taped line two comfortable paces away, a clear lane and a bracket sheet. Draw one entry per player; fill a power-of-two bracket with byes if needed. Post one unscored practice toss and three scored tosses per match. Opponents alternate three tosses each from the same posted line. A ball must stay in the bin.

The final match winner is bracket champion; report their match-win total alongside the bracket. Do not award the title to someone from unrelated station totals. Selected rule: All flying or rolling props here are soft paper, foam or similarly soft material. Hard desk objects stay on the table as stationary markers. This selected rule is compatible with Paper Toss Bracket; do not attach it to hard coin/clip sliding and pretend those props became soft. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.
  • Score Soft Gear Only · Office Olympics as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Soft Gear Only · Office Olympics; stop at the agreed finish condition.
No Rolling Chairs · Office Olympics

Keep chairs parked and use the seated handoff tasks. Compatible host: Chair-Safe Relay.

  • Keep chairs parked and use the seated handoff tasks. Compatible host: Chair-Safe Relay.
  • Compatible host: Chair-Safe Relay. Park chairs at a table; they are never vehicles. For each team, set six soft plastic cups, six numbered cards and a soft ball. Post three seated tasks: build/unbuild a 3–2–1 cup pyramid, flip all six cards face up in number order, then pass the soft ball hand-to-hand once along the team and back. Draw names into pairs; for an odd roster, make the final three one team. Every team has two or three people, with the same posted task quota regardless of team size. Post acting and checking roles before play and give every member an offered active role. Compare team results, without claiming equal personal working time. Complete the three tasks in order without standing on chairs or moving them. Teammates share hands-on roles; give every member one offered role before repeating. The recorder checks each task, returns its props to the start layout and then opens the next. Use one full relay per team. Use the posted two/three-person teams for the hand-to-hand ball path, returning it to the first person. Each task has one offered attempt; a team can pass it for 0 and still take later tasks. For a real safety interruption, pause and replace only that affected task attempt, without duplicating completed task points. Each clean completed task earns its team 1 challenge point, maximum 3. A dropped prop is safely retrieved and the current task restarts; earlier task points remain. There is no speed bonus. After one offered three-task relay per team, highest clean-task total wins and ties share. Selected rule: Never use an office chair as a vehicle or race it. Complete the posted seated cup, card and soft-ball handoff tasks with chairs parked; no standing on a chair, rolling to a teammate or speed bonus. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.
  • Score No Rolling Chairs · Office Olympics as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after No Rolling Chairs · Office Olympics; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Seated Variant · Office Olympics

Use a seated toss version with the same six attempts. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.

  • Use a seated toss version with the same six attempts. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.
  • Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss. Draw three broad numbered zones on a tabletop sheet or an approved clear wall calendar away from screens, glass and people. Put a start line one comfortable pace away. Use only softly crumpled sticky notes; post which side of a zone line counts (the lower number). Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A contact in the called zone earns 2 challenge points; another zone, a line assigned to another zone, or a miss earns 0. No bonus depends on a zone’s number. Reset loose notes between attempts. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Place the target and a seated release mark before play so all seated players can reach or toss comfortably. Keep the same six attempts and called-hit 2 chart. If task or distance changes make scores unlike another layout, report the layouts separately; do not claim equal difficulty merely from equal attempts. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Forward Mark · Office Olympics

Announce a clearly marked closer line before event one. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.

  • Announce a clearly marked closer line before event one. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.
  • Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss. Draw three broad numbered zones on a tabletop sheet or an approved clear wall calendar away from screens, glass and people. Put a start line one comfortable pace away. Use only softly crumpled sticky notes; post which side of a zone line counts (the lower number). Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A contact in the called zone earns 2 challenge points; another zone, a line assigned to another zone, or a miss earns 0. No bonus depends on a zone’s number. Reset loose notes between attempts. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Mark one standard and one closer toss line, announce the beginner choice before event one and keep each player’s chosen line for all six attempts. The called-hit 2 chart stays. This whole-event twist is distinct from Desk Forward Soft Mark’s one-selected-event-per-day activity; do not stack both as extra advantage. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Station Reset Check · Office Olympics

Confirm the posted reset before the station score is accepted. Compatible host: Stack Attack Cups.

  • Confirm the posted reset before the station score is accepted. Compatible host: Stack Attack Cups.
  • Compatible host: Stack Attack Cups. Use six soft plastic cups per turn, a cleared stable tabletop, a timer and a drawn 3–2–1 pyramid. Post the finish as all six cups nested in one upright stack. Everyone receives one practice and two scored attempts. On “go,” build the pyramid and return it to the nested finish. The recorder stops time only when hands are off and the stack stands. A collapse must be rebuilt within that attempt; a fallen cup is retrieved safely, never chased under another station. Record each clean completed time; the faster of two clean times is the result. An unfinished attempt has no clean time and cannot beat a completion. Fastest clean stack-and-unstack result wins; equal recorded times share. If nobody completes, close without a timed winner. Selected rule: Use the host’s six-cup nested start and finish drawing. Hold the completed time pending the next player/team confirming all cups are returned to that start. Correct a missing reset before opening the next turn; reset work adds no separate speed point. For the final player, the first waiting player checks the reset. This check only confirms the completed result and never adds a scored attempt. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.
  • Score Station Reset Check · Office Olympics as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Station Reset Check · Office Olympics; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Quiet Floor Mode · Office Olympics

Run one complete low-noise recall rotation. Compatible host: Desk Memory Tray Sprint.

  • Run one complete low-noise recall rotation. Compatible host: Desk Memory Tray Sprint.
  • Compatible host: Desk Memory Tray Sprint. Place six common objects on a tray: pencil, eraser, paper clip, cup, sticky-note pad and envelope. Show the list privately to the recorder, not players; have a cloth cover and answer sheets. No phone photos are allowed. The person arranging or reading the private object key is the unscored recorder for this whole round and is included in the 4–20 roster. Only the other participants receive scored recall sheets; a neutral scribe may record a player’s spoken recall without revealing the key. Show the tray to everyone for exactly ten seconds, cover it, then give 30 seconds to list remembered objects without conferring. Use a new, equally sized set for any second round so later players do not benefit from a revealed key. Lock all sheets before uncovering. All scored participants view the tray together; no scored sheet is shown the key before every sheet is locked. A whole-round pass earns 0 without requiring an explanation. Each correct distinct object earns 1 challenge point. Accept ordinary synonyms such as rubber/eraser; duplicates earn nothing. Maximum 6 in the one-round format. After the single shared view and locked recall sheets, highest total wins and ties share. Selected rule: Use visible show/hide/lock cues, paper answers and quiet score recording for the full ten-second view plus 30-second recall. Safety and access communication remain spoken when needed. This quiet modifier adds no point penalty; do not silently import Quiet Floor Frame’s last-point deduction. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Equal Station Time · Office Olympics

Give every team the same posted station window after inspection. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.

  • Give every team the same posted station window after inspection. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.
  • Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss. Draw three broad numbered zones on a tabletop sheet or an approved clear wall calendar away from screens, glass and people. Put a start line one comfortable pace away. Use only softly crumpled sticky notes; post which side of a zone line counts (the lower number). Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A contact in the called zone earns 2 challenge points; another zone, a line assigned to another zone, or a miss earns 0. No bonus depends on a zone’s number. Reset loose notes between attempts. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Post the same four-minute window for each rostered group, with six tosses per person. Scores remain individual; group size creates no extra personal attempts. Start only after inspection; pause the competitive timer for required safety/access needs. Early finishers get no extra throws. If the common window cannot offer everyone the full quota, void this station for all rather than decide from incomplete rotations. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Captain Safety Scan · Office Olympics

Rotate the captain and invite everyone’s safety concerns. Compatible host: Captain Safety Scan.

  • Rotate the captain and invite everyone’s safety concerns. Compatible host: Captain Safety Scan.
  • Compatible host: Captain Safety Scan. Before each event, name a rotating captain and show the full station layout, retrieval area and walkway. Check cables, glass, screens, loose props and the path people need to use. Do not start a competitive timer during inspection. Invite everyone to add a missed concern. Move or remove the hazard, recheck the lane and open play only when the issue is resolved. Take as long as needed; cancel a station that cannot be made suitable. Record the next captain so the same person need not inspect every event. The inspection is required and has no competitive points. Reporting a hazard never costs points or consumes a player’s scored attempt. Open the station only after the safety check is complete; this check has no competitive winner. Selected rule: Before each station, the captain checks cables, glass, screens and walkways, then asks for missed hazards. The check takes as long as needed, costs no attempts or points and is required even if no one selects a safety-themed game. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Clear Toss Lane · Office Olympics

Keep spectators behind the start and the active lane clear. Compatible host: Soft Pom Target Map.

  • Keep spectators behind the start and the active lane clear. Compatible host: Soft Pom Target Map.
  • Compatible host: Soft Pom Target Map. Draw three broad labeled zones on a tabletop sheet or stable foam board. Choose a close start line and a soft craft pom; clear the target path of people and screens. Give everyone six attempts in two rotations of three. Before each gentle toss, call or point to one zone. The recorder checks where the pom first contacts the target, then collects it. Assign boundary lines to the lower-numbered zone before play; a bounced-off target can still count only its first contact. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A hit on the called zone earns 2 challenge points; all other contacts or misses earn 0. A zone number is a label, not its point value. Keep the target orientation and line fixed for everyone. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Mark the throw/runout lane. Only the active player enters it; others stay behind the start line. Retrieval happens on the recorder’s clear signal after all throws stop. Pause and replay for an unexpected entry without penalty. Replace only the interrupted attempt: erase its affected result before replay and keep earlier completed results. No safety replay adds a second scored slot. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Average Three Attempts · Office Olympics

Use every one of three throws in the average. Compatible host: Paper Airplane Distance Fair.

  • Use every one of three throws in the average. Compatible host: Paper Airplane Distance Fair.
  • Compatible host: Paper Airplane Distance Fair. Fold planes from equal-sized plain paper with no staples or hard tips. Tape a start and a marked measurement line across a cleared floor lane away from screens, glass and people. Choose a gentle release height for all and supply a ruler or tape. Give everyone one practice and exactly three scored throws. Release from behind the line and measure straight distance to the first floor contact, using the same unit each time; an out-of-lane throw or line foul is recorded as 0 distance. Retrieve together only when the lane is closed. A line foul means any foot or seated release position reaches or crosses the marked start at release. A passed throw also records 0 distance and stays in the divisor of 3. Add all three measured distances and divide by 3. For example, 90, 120 and 150 cm average 120 cm. Use the average, never only the longest throw. Highest average after all three offered throws wins; equal averages share placement. Selected rule: Everyone receives all three scored throws. Add their distances, including a recorded 0 for a foul/out-of-lane attempt, and divide by 3: (90+120+150)/3=120 cm. Keep the same measurement unit; do not replace this with the longest single throw. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Comeback Station Choice · Office Olympics

Let the trailing team choose between two posted finale tasks. Compatible host: Fifteen-Minute Micro Olympics.

  • Let the trailing team choose between two posted finale tasks. Compatible host: Fifteen-Minute Micro Olympics.
  • Compatible host: Fifteen-Minute Micro Olympics. Prepare exactly three events before the 15-minute clock: soft-paper bin toss, three arithmetic answers and a mock-desk reset. Draw two teams with sizes differing by at most one and list everyone on a fixed roster. Every person gets one offered toss and a shared answer/reset role; compare the toss component by fixed-roster average so an odd roster creates no extra maximum. Have three paper balls, one bin, six cups, papers, pencils, timer and a drawn reset layout: cups nested, papers in one stack and pencils beside them. Use minutes 0–2 for inspection and instructions; 2–6 for one gentle bin toss per teammate from one comfortable pace, alternating teams while both have waiting players and finishing the larger roster’s last offered slot. Use 6–10 for team answers to 7+8=15, 18−6=12, 4×4=16, 20 seconds each, locked before keys; 10–13 for all teammates sharing the posted mock-desk reset; 13–15 for checking totals and closing. The 15-minute wall-clock stop is firm. Stop for safety/access needs even if this leaves an event incomplete; never hurry or discard someone’s offered quota to fit the clock. Each bin make earns its player 1 raw challenge point; a miss or pass earns 0. Divide the team’s toss total by its fixed roster size for a toss component from 0 to 1. Each correct team answer adds 1 and a verified complete reset adds 1, for a team maximum of 5. For example, 2 makes from 3 people give 2/3, while 3 from 4 give 3/4; compare exact fractions. At the hard stop, void an entire event for both teams if either lacked its complete offered quota; keep earlier comparable events. A declined offered turn counts as an offered 0, never removes someone from the divisor. At 15 minutes, highest comparable completed-event total wins; ties share. Use exact fractions, never rounded displays, to compare the toss component. Do not start a playoff or add a fourth event. Required cleanup and any safety correction still finish after competitive time. Selected rule: Before the clock, prepare two reset options with the same 1-point completion chart and draw both finish layouts: nest six cups plus stack three papers; or sort six cards numbered 1–6 plus return two pencils to their marked place. At minute 10 the trailing team chooses; if the teams tie, draw one of the two prepared options. Both teams use that same choice within minutes 10–13, with no extra time or changed maximum. Use the host’s fixed-roster toss component when identifying the trailing team. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Scorekeeper Rotation · Office Olympics

Rotate a recorder who is not making the attempt. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.

  • Rotate a recorder who is not making the attempt. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.
  • Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss. Draw three broad numbered zones on a tabletop sheet or an approved clear wall calendar away from screens, glass and people. Put a start line one comfortable pace away. Use only softly crumpled sticky notes; post which side of a zone line counts (the lower number). Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A contact in the called zone earns 2 challenge points; another zone, a line assigned to another zone, or a miss earns 0. No bonus depends on a zone’s number. Reset loose notes between attempts. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Give the score sheet to a resting teammate or opposing recorder for each attempt; nobody records their own hit. Read the called zone back before recording 2 or 0. Swap roles so recording does not remove anyone’s six offered tosses. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people.

Supply Cap · Office Olympics

Use the posted on-hand supply list without purchases. Compatible host: Supply Budget Cap.

  • Use the posted on-hand supply list without purchases. Compatible host: Supply Budget Cap.
  • Compatible host: Supply Budget Cap. Post the on-hand supply list before starting: scrap paper, pencils, one bin, six lightweight cups and a clock. Use two complete house events: three soft-paper bin tosses per person, then a six-symbol memory sheet. No purchases or mid-event shopping are allowed. The person privately preparing the six-symbol key is the unscored facilitator for both events, included in the 4–20 roster. Every other participant receives the same three bin tosses and one recall sheet; keep the symbol key private until their shared ten-second view. Mark a one-pace bin-toss line and offer each person three gentle throws, alternating one at a time with a clear retrieval signal. A ball must stay in the bin. Then show everyone the same six drawn symbols—circle, square, triangle, star, heart, wave—for ten seconds, hide the sheet and allow 30 seconds to list them. Lock all recall sheets before showing the key. Confirm the inventory beforehand and return it after both tasks. Give the facilitator no competitive sheet. All scored participants may pass any toss or recall answer for 0; the fixed nine-point maximum and the shared supply point remain. Each bin make and correct distinct remembered symbol earns 1 challenge point, maximum 9 per person. The whole group also earns 1 shared process point for using only the posted free supplies, recorded separately so it cannot decide the event winner. A safety-related cancellation never removes that process point. After the two equal offered tasks, highest event total wins and ties share. Finish with verified supply return; the shared supply point creates no separate winner. Selected rule: Check the host’s posted paper, pencils, bin, lightweight cups and clock before starting. Use its drawn-symbol memory sheet so no special tray supplies are needed. If a required item is absent, do not start this two-event host; choose a different format using supplies on hand. No purchase or mid-event shopping is required. Keep the shared supply-list point separate from competitive totals. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Remote Heat · Office Olympics

Merge only the same remote and local task. Compatible host: Remote Hybrid Heat.

  • Merge only the same remote and local task. Compatible host: Remote Hybrid Heat.
  • Compatible host: Remote Hybrid Heat. Choose one comparable house heat before play: paper toss with the same paper size, bin opening and measured distance at every location, or the three written questions 7+8=15, 18−6=12, 4×4=16. Post the exact rules in chat or on a shared sheet before scores. Draw two teams with sizes differing by at most one, list every scored roster member, and choose the stated sum or fixed-roster mean before anyone plays. A resting local or remote participant records another’s throw, then receives their own scored turn. In toss mode, give each person three gentle throws on video with a local clear lane and a remote recorder. In trivia mode, read the same three questions simultaneously and lock answers after 20 seconds each. Rotate one offered turn per player. If physical layouts cannot be matched, choose trivia for everyone or keep separate location results. A full or partial pass records 0 for the skipped opportunity, keeping the player in the preposted roster divisor. For an interruption before the answer key is exposed, pause all answer clocks and resume their remaining time; if an answer was exposed prematurely, void that question for everyone without replacement. Each bin make or correct written answer earns 1 challenge point, maximum 3 per player. Merge only the same chosen task, quota and scoring; equal-sized teams sum scores, unequal teams compare mean points per rostered player including passes as 0. For example, totals 6 and 8 from rosters 3 and 4 both average 2. Compare exact fractions (6×4=8×3), without rounding a near tie into equality. After each player’s comparable heat, highest stated team sum or mean wins and ties share; never merge unlike local tasks as if equally difficult. Selected rule: Choose the host’s matched paper toss or simultaneous three-question arithmetic heat for everyone. Use the same targets/distances/attempts or same questions/time, as applicable. If layouts cannot match, switch everyone to arithmetic or retain separate results; a video call alone is not comparable scoring. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.

Cleanup Point · Office Olympics

Verify desk and floor reset before shared credit. Compatible host: Supply Budget Cap.

  • Verify desk and floor reset before shared credit. Compatible host: Supply Budget Cap.
  • Compatible host: Supply Budget Cap. Post the on-hand supply list before starting: scrap paper, pencils, one bin, six lightweight cups and a clock. Use two complete house events: three soft-paper bin tosses per person, then a six-symbol memory sheet. No purchases or mid-event shopping are allowed. The person privately preparing the six-symbol key is the unscored facilitator for both events, included in the 4–20 roster. Every other participant receives the same three bin tosses and one recall sheet; keep the symbol key private until their shared ten-second view. Mark a one-pace bin-toss line and offer each person three gentle throws, alternating one at a time with a clear retrieval signal. A ball must stay in the bin. Then show everyone the same six drawn symbols—circle, square, triangle, star, heart, wave—for ten seconds, hide the sheet and allow 30 seconds to list them. Lock all recall sheets before showing the key. Confirm the inventory beforehand and return it after both tasks. Give the facilitator no competitive sheet. All scored participants may pass any toss or recall answer for 0; the fixed nine-point maximum and the shared supply point remain. Each bin make and correct distinct remembered symbol earns 1 challenge point, maximum 9 per person. The whole group also earns 1 shared process point for using only the posted free supplies, recorded separately so it cannot decide the event winner. A safety-related cancellation never removes that process point. After the two equal offered tasks, highest event total wins and ties share. Finish with verified supply return; the shared supply point creates no separate winner. Selected rule: After the two selected host events, return every listed supply and check the floor/walkway. The host verifies the whole room, then records 1 shared process point for cleanup, separate from the host’s supply-list point and competition totals. Cleanup remains required even if no points are kept. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

Equal Attempts · Office Olympics

Complete equal attempt rotations before comparing scores. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.

  • Complete equal attempt rotations before comparing scores. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.
  • Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss. Draw three broad numbered zones on a tabletop sheet or an approved clear wall calendar away from screens, glass and people. Put a start line one comfortable pace away. Use only softly crumpled sticky notes; post which side of a zone line counts (the lower number). Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A contact in the called zone earns 2 challenge points; another zone, a line assigned to another zone, or a miss earns 0. No bonus depends on a zone’s number. Reset loose notes between attempts. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Use two full rotations of three tosses per person. If interrupted, keep earlier complete rotations only; omit the unfinished rotation for everyone. Never let a player’s early extra attempt decide the event. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

Practice Attempt · Office Olympics

Offer one unscored practice before the three scored slides. Compatible host: Binder Clip Slide Knockdown.

  • Offer one unscored practice before the three scored slides. Compatible host: Binder Clip Slide Knockdown.
  • Compatible host: Binder Clip Slide Knockdown. Clear a tabletop lane with a catch tray. Stand three lightweight closed binder clips as targets at its far end and mark their exact starting spots. Use another closed clip as the slider; keep fingers, people and devices out of the lane. Test a gentle flat slide before play. Each person has three scored slides after one practice. Push the slider along the surface from behind the start mark; no airborne flicks or throws. Count targets knocked over, then rebuild all three on their marks before the next attempt. A slider that leaves the tabletop scores 0. Keep the closed clip wholly behind the start mark until the flat push begins; a crossed-start release uses the slide for 0. A passed slot also earns 0, with later slots still offered. Each knocked-down target earns 1 challenge point, maximum 3 per slide and 9 across three. A moved but upright target scores 0. Do not count accidental target movement during reset. After three offered slides each, highest knocked-target total wins. Share tied totals unless all tied people request one flat slide each at the same three reset targets. Most targets knocked wins that one playoff; share any remaining tie. No extra target points are added to the original total. Selected rule: Give each player exactly one flat practice slide on the actual lane, then reset all three targets to their marked positions. Practice hits do not count. Begin the common three-attempt scoring sequence only after everyone understands the surface-only push. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

Put a start line one comfortable pace away. Use only softly crumpled sticky notes; post which side of a zone line counts (the lower number). Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0.

Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Record each player’s 2-point hits and 0-point misses on one visible sheet and invite checking before the next station. No late throws or changed target calls after it opens.

Two-Minute Finale · Office Olympics

Post three tasks and stop the final drill at two minutes. Compatible host: Two-Minute Drill Finale.

  • Post three tasks and stop the final drill at two minutes. Compatible host: Two-Minute Drill Finale.
  • Compatible host: Two-Minute Drill Finale. Post three house micro-tasks and their order: three soft-paper tosses into a bin from one pace, one six-cup 3–2–1 stack/unstack, then copy the shape sequence circle, square, triangle. Prepare a clear lane, cups, paper, pencil and a two-minute timer per team. Announce double points before event one. Draw names into pairs; for an odd roster, make the final three one team. Every team has two or three people, with the same posted task quota regardless of team size. Post acting and checking roles before play and give every member an offered active role. Compare team results, without claiming equal personal working time. Each team has exactly two minutes to attempt the three tasks once, changing actors between tasks where roster size permits. A new task starts only after the previous quota or the team’s explicit pass. Stop immediately at two minutes; no extra attempts for early finishers. A real safety or access interruption pauses the competitive timer. Erase only the affected task’s partial result and restore that task to its start layout; replay it within the remaining unspent time, keeping earlier completed tasks. Repeated interruptions may cancel the station, never require unsafe speed. A passed task is 0 and opens the next task; there is no second scored copy of a completed task. Base score is 1 per bin make, 1 for the clean stack/unstack and 1 for the correctly copied sequence, maximum 5. The announced finale double makes each base point worth 2, maximum 10. A task unfinished at the end earns 0; all teams receive the same two-minute opportunity. After one two-minute active window per team, highest doubled total wins and ties share. If every tied team wants one short safe playoff, offer one common-line paper toss per team; make beats miss, and equal outcomes share. The playoff adds no finale points. Selected rule: Use the host’s paper toss, six-cup stack and copied-shape tasks in order, within exactly two active competitive minutes per team and the preannounced double chart. A real safety/access stop pauses that timer. Erase only the affected task’s partial result, restore its start layout and replay it within the remaining unspent time; keep earlier completed tasks. No completed task is scored twice. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

Noise Neighbor Check · Office Olympics

Switch to a prepared low-noise list for nearby work. Compatible host: Noise Cap Mode.

  • Switch to a prepared low-noise list for nearby work. Compatible host: Noise Cap Mode.
  • Compatible host: Noise Cap Mode. Choose Desk Memory Tray Sprint as the complete quiet host: show six objects for ten seconds, then allow 30 seconds for written recall. Post a conversation-level noise expectation and visible start/stop cards; whispering score calls is allowed. Use pencil, eraser, paper clip, cup, sticky-note pad and envelope as the private tray key; keep the objects hidden until the shared view. The person arranging or reading the private object key is the unscored recorder for this whole round and is included in the 4–20 roster. Only the other participants receive scored recall sheets; a neutral scribe may record a player’s spoken recall without revealing the key. Offer everyone the same single view and answer time. Avoid yelling; the host may pause when volume rises and resume the remaining answer time before any key is shown. Safety requests and access communication can always be spoken. All scored participants view the tray together; no scored sheet is shown the key before every sheet is locked. A whole-round pass earns 0 without requiring an explanation. Each correct distinct object earns 1 challenge point, maximum 6. This mode changes sound and score-call delivery only; it adds no noise penalty. After the shared recall sheet lock, highest total wins and ties share. Selected rule: Before play, check for a nearby meeting or quiet zone and use the complete memory-tray host. An optional second low-noise station is three written arithmetic questions: 4 cups+3=7; 12 sheets÷3 desks=4; 2 teams×5 tosses=10. Read each twice, allow 20 seconds, lock sheets before revealing the answer and score each correct answer 1. Run those as separate results, not extra points in the memory winner. Do not substitute noisy tossing midway through a comparable round. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

  • Rotate event judges while the host competes. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.

Put a start line one comfortable pace away. Use only softly crumpled sticky notes; post which side of a zone line counts (the lower number). Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A contact in the called zone earns 2 challenge points; another zone, a line assigned to another zone, or a miss earns 0. No bonus depends on a zone’s number. Reset loose notes between attempts. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Assign a non-playing observer to each player’s attempt, with another observer for the host. No one judges their own throw, and the same host does not judge every station. Keep called zones and hit results visible so a role change does not change the chart. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

Safety Pause Free · Office Olympics

Stop and replay unsafe or obstructed attempts freely. Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket.

  • Stop and replay unsafe or obstructed attempts freely. Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket.
  • Compatible host: Paper Toss Bracket. Use a bin, three soft paper balls, a taped line two comfortable paces away, a clear lane and a bracket sheet. Draw one entry per player; fill a power-of-two bracket with byes if needed. Post one unscored practice toss and three scored tosses per match. Opponents alternate three tosses each from the same posted line. A ball must stay in the bin. Most makes wins the best-of-three-toss match and advances; a tied match uses one extra toss each, then a coin draw if still tied. Players with a bye advance without an invented match win. Eliminated players may join an unscored practice lane, with no extra bracket points. The paper ball must be released wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release or a passed toss uses its ordinary slot for 0 makes. During a safety stop, remove only the interrupted toss result and replay that slot once the lane is clear; keep earlier completed tosses. House bracket points: each played match win earns 1 challenge point; a bye earns 0. Count makes only to decide that match. The bracket intentionally gives advancing players more matches. The final match winner is bracket champion; report their match-win total alongside the bracket. Do not award the title to someone from unrelated station totals. Selected rule: Anyone may call stop. Freeze, clear the obstruction and replay the affected toss with the same attempt allowance; a safety call never deducts points or decides a bracket match. Cancel the station if the lane cannot be kept clear. Replace only the interrupted attempt: erase its affected result before replay and keep earlier completed results. No safety replay adds a second scored slot. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

  • Replace uncomfortable team names immediately. Compatible host: Opening Ceremony Draft.
  • Compatible host: Opening Ceremony Draft. Post a visible roster and draw names into pairs, making the final three one team when the roster is odd. Use these same two- or three-person teams for shared team stations. Set out paper, pencils, three soft paper balls, a bin, six plastic cups and a covered tray with pencil, eraser, paper clip, cup, sticky-note pad and envelope. Post this house event order to draft: Paper Toss Bracket, Stack Attack Cups, Desk Memory Tray Sprint. Reserve a clear lane and nominate a safety captain before any attempt. Teams each make a small paper flag and choose a kind name in two minutes. In drawn team order, let each team nominate its preferred first event; the most nominations sets the opener, with a tied choice drawn. Use the other two afterward. Read the freeze rules aloud and let everyone check the roster and station order. Ceremony movement is walking only. Run the three named events using their complete cards; this ceremony sets their order and shared process credit, not a combined score chart for unlike bracket wins, times and recall points. Report those three event results separately. A complete roster and shared safety read earn the entire group 1 shared process point, recorded separately from later event results. There is no speed or loud-cheer bonus. Finish when every team is named, everyone has an offered role, and the event order and freeze rules are understood. The ceremony has no separate competitive winner. Selected rule: Team names and cheers remain workplace-safe and non-personal. A request to replace a name is enough, without explanation or point loss; choose a neutral word such as Comets or Paper Planes and continue the same opening checklist. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people.

  • Name a reset helper or fair caller after medal placements. Compatible host: Medal Ceremony Kind.
  • Compatible host: Medal Ceremony Kind. After all event scores are checked, prepare paper gold, silver and bronze medals plus helper awards. Use the recorded event placements, including shared ties, rather than a new vote for the sports winner. Ask permission before naming people publicly. Read the final placements once, then name at least one reset helper or fair caller. Offer a brief thank-you or pass to everyone. Keep applause neighbor-friendly and let anyone receive thanks without a photo. This ceremony adds no competitive points. Optional STUD recognition happens after scores and only under the existing pre-agreement; it does not recalculate the competition. Finish with the recorded medal placements and helper recognition; do not create a second ceremony champion. Selected rule: Use the final recorded placements first, then thank at least one helper or fair caller with consent. This recognition adds no competitive point and cannot break a medal tie. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists.

  • Double one announced final event with equal attempts. Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss.
  • Compatible host: Sticky Note Zone Call Toss. Draw three broad numbered zones on a tabletop sheet or an approved clear wall calendar away from screens, glass and people. Put a start line one comfortable pace away. Use only softly crumpled sticky notes; post which side of a zone line counts (the lower number). Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A contact in the called zone earns 2 challenge points; another zone, a line assigned to another zone, or a miss earns 0. No bonus depends on a zone’s number. Reset loose notes between attempts. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Before event one, name this six-toss target event as the finale and post its double chart: a called-zone hit is 4 instead of 2, all misses 0. Every player receives the same six attempts; double only this event once, not both a point and the already doubled result. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

Fifteen-Minute Mode · Office Olympics

  • Keep the short window to one skill, one mind and one reset task. Compatible host: Fifteen-Minute Micro Olympics.
  • Compatible host: Fifteen-Minute Micro Olympics. Prepare exactly three events before the 15-minute clock: soft-paper bin toss, three arithmetic answers and a mock-desk reset. Draw two teams with sizes differing by at most one and list everyone on a fixed roster. Every person gets one offered toss and a shared answer/reset role; compare the toss component by fixed-roster average so an odd roster creates no extra maximum. Have three paper balls, one bin, six cups, papers, pencils, timer and a drawn reset layout: cups nested, papers in one stack and pencils beside them. Use minutes 0–2 for inspection and instructions; 2–6 for one gentle bin toss per teammate from one comfortable pace, alternating teams while both have waiting players and finishing the larger roster’s last offered slot. Use 6–10 for team answers to 7+8=15, 18−6=12, 4×4=16, 20 seconds each, locked before keys; 10–13 for all teammates sharing the posted mock-desk reset; 13–15 for checking totals and closing. The 15-minute wall-clock stop is firm. Stop for safety/access needs even if this leaves an event incomplete; never hurry or discard someone’s offered quota to fit the clock. Each bin make earns its player 1 raw challenge point; a miss or pass earns 0. Divide the team’s toss total by its fixed roster size for a toss component from 0 to 1. Each correct team answer adds 1 and a verified complete reset adds 1, for a team maximum of 5. For example, 2 makes from 3 people give 2/3, while 3 from 4 give 3/4; compare exact fractions. At the hard stop, void an entire event for both teams if either lacked its complete offered quota; keep earlier comparable events. A declined offered turn counts as an offered 0, never removes someone from the divisor. At 15 minutes, highest comparable completed-event total wins; ties share. Use exact fractions, never rounded displays, to compare the toss component. Do not start a playoff or add a fourth event. Required cleanup and any safety correction still finish after competitive time. Selected rule: Use only the host’s skill, mind and reset tasks within its exact 15-minute schedule. Keep one offered toss per person, fixed-roster toss means and equal team answer/reset maxima; do not silently compare unequal raw toss sums. At the hard stop void any event lacking a complete offered quota for either team. No fourth station or overtime playoff; required cleanup still finishes. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

Guest Example Turn · Office Olympics

Demonstrate the actual layout without scoring it. Compatible host: Stack Attack Cups.

  • Demonstrate the actual layout without scoring it. Compatible host: Stack Attack Cups.
  • Compatible host: Stack Attack Cups. Use six soft plastic cups per turn, a cleared stable tabletop, a timer and a drawn 3–2–1 pyramid. Post the finish as all six cups nested in one upright stack. Everyone receives one practice and two scored attempts. On “go,” build the pyramid and return it to the nested finish. The recorder stops time only when hands are off and the stack stands. A collapse must be rebuilt within that attempt; a fallen cup is retrieved safely, never chased under another station. Record each clean completed time; the faster of two clean times is the result. An unfinished attempt has no clean time and cannot beat a completion. Fastest clean stack-and-unstack result wins; equal recorded times share. If nobody completes, close without a timed winner. Selected rule: A first-time player may use one unscored walkthrough with the six cups: build 3–2–1, return all cups to one nested stack and show hands off. It replaces that player’s ordinary practice, not an extra scored trial. Then give both scored attempts. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only.

Each player has six tosses in two complete rotations of three. Before each toss, say or point to the intended zone. Wait for a clear target, toss gently, then let the recorder note the first landing point or wall contact before collecting. Release with feet or the seated release position wholly behind the posted line; a crossed-line release uses the attempt for 0. A player may pass an ordinary slot for 0, retaining all later offered slots. A contact in the called zone earns 2 challenge points; another zone, a line assigned to another zone, or a miss earns 0. No bonus depends on a zone’s number. Reset loose notes between attempts. After all six offered tosses each, highest challenge-point total wins. Share ties unless every tied player requests one called-zone toss each from their posted line, 2 for a hit and 0 otherwise. Share a tie that remains; this one playoff decides placement only and is not added to the six-toss total. Selected rule: Any optional STUD amount is agreed before event one and settled between people only after the result. A person declining changes no event points, attempts or placement. Use only this selected modifier. It replaces only the schedule, task, eligibility or point condition it explicitly names; keep the remaining host rules and do not stack other optional twists. Office Olympics is desk-safe only. Soft paper, soft balls, and light desk gear — never hard throws near screens, glass, or people. Clear walkways and cords; freeze for anyone walking through; no rolling-chair races; leave desks better than found. Scores use challenge points. Optional STUD only if pre-agreed.
  • Score Optional STUD Pre-Agree · Office Olympics as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Optional STUD Pre-Agree · Office Olympics; stop at the agreed finish condition.
