    The last event of the games!

    As the name suggests, it's a combination of three events. The Mis-spellathon, the Discus and the Newbie Introduction. The rules are the same as described on those threads with the following alterations/additions:

    [b:7f7439c158]Mis-spellathon:[/b:7f7439c158] The limit is 50 words, not 100. You can get a minus score (if you really screw up)

    [b:7f7439c158]Discus:[/b:7f7439c158] You get 50 points if you hit the target, you lose one point for every metre you are away from the target, over OR under. You can get a minus score.

    [b:7f7439c158]Newbie Introduction:[/b:7f7439c158] You get 50 points if you respond immediately, for every ten minutes that go by, you lose one point to a minimum of 0

    [b:7f7439c158]Overall:[/b:7f7439c158] You should make one post with your entries for all three disciplines in that post. If you edit, the time for the newbie introduction will be taken from that edit time. If you double post, the second post counts. Therefore, you need to balance your speed in the Newbie Intro with composing a quality entry for the other events.

    The winner is the person with the highest combined score across these events.

    edit to add: You have 36 hours...

    Ba, you might want to re-read the rules on Introduction and make a guess for the discus...

    I like the way you combined the welcome and misspellathon, although that isn't necessary, you can do them seperately.

    edit: wait, there is a guess for the discus, silly me

    Keep the entries coming, you may not get as many points on the Introduction part, but you could easily pull that back with the luck of the Discus.
