What happens if a team refuses to drink after a penalty?

If a team skips their penalty drink, they immediately lose points for that event or the opposing team gets to assign double drinks.

How do you score the frisbee accuracy throw?

Set up targets like buckets or drawn circles in the sand, and assign points based on distance. For example, a close target might be 1 point, while a farther one could be worth 3 points.

What is the final penalty for the losing team?

The losing team must chug a full drink as a group or complete a 'run of shame' to the waterline and back, depending on what your group agrees on beforehand.

Can we add our own events?

Yes, feel free to create custom events like seashell scavenger hunts or tug-of-war in the sand. Just make sure to establish clear rules and penalties for any new additions!

Tips & Strategies

Sand can slow you down, so pick your fastest runners wisely for relay events. For the water bucket carry, use smaller buckets if you're losing water too fast from spills,it's harder than it looks. During the frisbee throw, aim low to avoid wind interference. Keep track of penalties at each station to make sure everyone drinks fairly after each round.

Drink Before You Throw: For the frisbee accuracy throw, players must take a shot or chug a drink before each attempt.. Double Down Sandcastles: Each team builds two sandcastles simultaneously, and the opposing team gets to sabotage one using a frisbee toss.
