Here’s what it will look like:

Here’s how to run the event:

The event is going to start with an inhouse competition on a Saturday afternoon. To get started, you’ll need to split the groups in two different teams – Jedi and Sith. If you have encouraged your members to dress up for the event then try to keep those dressed for the dark side on the Sith team and those dressed for the path of light on the Jedi team.

Once finalised, you can start with your inhouse competition. It’s recommended that you start some fun team warm up games which will help the teams earn points. Then after the warm up, you can start hitting a couple of workouts. There are a variety of workouts which could be used for a team competition but here’s a couple of ideas to get your creativity flowing:

• First, the workouts should be easy to score for each individual athlete so the scores can be easily tallied up to give an overall team score. For example, you could do an AMRAP style workout and simply tally up the reps for each individual to form a team total. Or you could do a ‘For Time’ workout and simply award points for the placing of each athlete in their team. For example, if you have 50 competitors first place would earn 50 points and last place would earn 1 point.
• Second, there needs to be set ‘scaling options’ including some fun kids workouts so the whole community can participate. It will also be important that the teams are split evening amongst those scaling options so that the teams are kept competitive.
• Finally, aside from having the members compete individually and tallying up the scores, you can have the participants compete in small teams. For example, one creative way to have the teams compete against each other would be to do an elimination style workout where you break the Sith and Jedi teams down further into teams of two or three. Next the mini-teams go head-to-head with short interval workouts where the loser is eliminated and the winner progresses to the next round. Start by having the Sith’s battle out against each other and the same with the Jedi’s until you are left with the best of the Siths and the best of the Jedi’s. Finally, the remaining team from each side go head-to-head and battle it out to become the ultimate ruler of the galaxy.

After the in-house competition, why not stick around for a Star Wars movie marathon and pizza dinner in the evening? You could also prepare some snacks or have members bring some food along to share.

All in all, this would be a killer event.
