Jacksonville's Ultimate Oktoberfest Beer Games Competition
Higgyschlagen
2 teams per Higgyschlagen stump. Each team may have a varying number of nails to hammer flush with the top of the stump. Each guy will get 3 nails, gals will get 2 nails. (Ex. All guys on a team = 9 nails, All gals on a team = 6 nails)
The game will be played in rounds, this is not a race, it’s a skill game, so take your time.
Each player will get a swing with the hammer. A round is over when all 6 players have swung the hammer.
The player must tap the stump with the hammer before striking the nail.
Once the player has swung the hammer, they pass it to the next opposing player. Once all 6 players have swung the hammer, the round is over and if no team has all 3 nails flush, you start another round.
It doesn’t matter which nail the player strikes during their turn.
If a nail bends, a player may use their turn to straighten that nail with the hammer.
You do not need to tap the stump when straightening a nail
If the nail is beyond straightening, a player can use their turn and ask a judge to remove it and set a new nail.
A winner is declared when a team has all their nails pounded flush into the stump.
Winners receive 5 pts, losers receive 3 pts. In the event of a tie, both teams will receive 4 pts.
