CONNECT AND COMBINE
Norman M. Schwab
Nov 12, 2012
The first item selected was
mainly due to it having
broken recently and was thus
available – it is an iron.
The second item selected was
in complete contrast and not
associated with any sport,
namely a plastic cup – and I
noticed a pile of them just
waiting to be of service.
The objective is to move the iron in the
shortest time over a specific circuit
The sport requires a smooth surface and
works best in a carpeted room
The sport is a race that requires competitors
to run backwards whilst dragging an iron
within a demarcated route
The course outline is demarcated with plastic
cups – this requires creativity!
The race can be performed individually or
against other competitors on a larger course
The iron can be prepared
for speed by polishing the
contact surface
The start requires the
iron to be behind the line
On “GO”, the iron is pulled
over the line and a stopwatch triggered
The player moves backwards as fast as
possible and must keep the iron on the
ground at all times.
The “straights” enable great
speeds to be achieved
There is no speed limit on
the course!
The “ironman” does not
have to remain on the
course and may step over
the boundaries
Spectators are advised to
stand back, particularly at
the corners
The iron will take corners
in a “broadside” fashion
Corners require lower
speeds to prevent hitting
the boundary cups
Cups may be moved but if
they fall over then the
player is disqualified
A player is also disqualified
if he steps on the
boundary cups
The time it takes for the iron to cross the
“finish-line” must be recorded and compared
to other competitors
This game requires inGenuity and Creativity and may be hazardous if
the iron is still hot or if prior permission from mom is not obtained!
