Sporting Events
On Wednesday is the day when our attitudes are tried and tested in the different sport events. Make sure you sign up and if you for some reason can not attend make sure you´re there to chair for your favourites.
Soccer
This is normally one of the highlights of the conference and a fierce battle between the countries and teams. Everyone can sign up a team and this you preferably do before the conference by sending an email to sports@festinord.org.
If you want to play but do not have a team then please sign up and we will create teams of the people that signs up.
We will play with 7 man teams on the field (max 10 players on each team)
Track and Field
We will be having several track and field events. You can participate individually in each of the events or the pentathlon (all 5 events collectively) or both.
The events that we will be competing in are.
- 100m
- 400m
- Long Jump
- High Jump
- Shot Put
- Pentathlon that consist of all of the above events.
- Relay: 4 x 100 m, Men, Women and Mix.
Softball
Is a team game commonly. It is a direct descendant of baseball although some key differences are that softballs are larger than baseballs and the pitches are thrown underhand rather than overhand. Despite the game’s name, the standard softball is not soft; in fact, it is harder than a baseball. Softball is played between 2 teams on a large field, with 9 players from one team on the field at a time.
At Festinord we will play in 2 periods, each team one period in/out. The team will be rewarded 1 point for each player making it “home” during their “in” time. The team with most points will win and get 3 points, the loosing team will get 0 points. If it is a draw, each team will get 1 point each. One game will be for 2 X 15 min. The best two teams will meet in the final.
The positions can alternate during a match. The positions will be as follows:
In team: All players will bat in a sequence. If not able to get to 1st base, the batter will be out. If the team does not have any batters left and their 15 min is not over, the players on the bases will “go home” and the team will start to bat again as from the beginning (from scratch) including the “out” players. .
Out team: 1 pitcher, 1 catcher, 1 first baseman, 1 second baseman, 1 third baseman, 1 shortstop and 3 outfielders.
Each team will have 9 players. If you want to play but do not have a team then please sign up and we will create teams of the people that signs up.
Make sure to email sports@festinord.org with your registration
