Beer Olympics

Welcome New and returning "athletes"

This year's games bring together 6 countries—Jamaica, Ireland, Vatican City, Greece, Cape Verde, and Scotland—to compete across a series of events, with medals going to the top finishers. Prepare for classics like Cornhole, Beer Pong, and Flip Cup, along with a few new events we'll announce over the coming weeks. Full details are below.

how to prepare

Over the next few weeks, connect with your team to decide on outfits, appoint a captain, and start planning your opening ceremony. As soon as you've settled on a team captain, let Molly know.


Your opening ceremony is a short, creative introduction to your country that the whole team performs together, and your captain is responsible for keeping track of your scores on game day. You'll find more on each of these below.


There will be plenty of snacks, light beer & seltzer, soda, and water throughout the day. Dinner will be catered. If there’s a representative snack or drink you’d like to share, please do!

Rules

Events

This year there's no central referee. Instead, we'll rely on team captains, who are responsible for knowing the rules and making sure points are recorded after every round. If a dispute arises, the captains meet to settle it. Molly will connect with captains ahead of the event to review scoring and rules.

Opening Ceremonies

The goal is for each country to introduce themselves in a creative way. Olympic hosts are especially encouraged to showcase their athletic and artistic achievements. Daniel is committed to both.

Feel free to use props, music, and signs/banners. Check out the video in the footer to see a glimpse from last year's Opening Ceremonies.
