We have a WINNER!!!!

The Conch 5K Giveaway came to an end last night after a month of draws to reduce the number of finalists from 100 to 50 and then just 10 people.

 

On Wednesday 28th January 2010, someone’s life changed.  They just don’t know it yet.

Rather than just drawing the name out of a hat I enlisted the help of my local Ultimate Frisbee Club to help pick a name at random.  If the gods of video editing were smiling on me, I would have a video to post here right now.  But they’re not.  So the video will follow.

 

The Draw

The winner was determined by a small frisbee accuracy competition.  We had a cone placed at one end of a sports hall, and my frisbee team (DUFFA) at the other.  During two rounds of 5 people, the 2 discs that landed closest to the cone went through to the final.  The other 3 members were eliminated. 

In the final, the disc that landed closest to the cone would be the winner of the 5K Giveaway.

How it went down

It has to be said, for a frisbee club, the accuracy was shocking.  I was expecting discs to be piled up on top of each other next to the target.  Still, they all got fairly close.
