I have fat drunk buddies, and all they do is play golf, softball, and snowmobile, and those dipshits can throw the fucking softball.

How do you DNF a softball throw? Is it like long drive where it has to stay in the fairway? Did they do something like the trick in my avatar?

I was wondering that too, I mean, sweet baby gorrilla jeebus, I know an open water swim sucks from my tri-time but they couldn't have at least thrown it underhanded a few feet?

Apparently there are out of bounds to the sides, yes.

To screw up the first throw and not do a guaranteed in-play second throw (even if it is short) is just dumb. From what I understand, once an event is DNF'd, they don't go on to the next day, they only get to finish that day's events.

But if they'd ever competed in say, an OLY meet, or a PL meet, or a HG, they might have learned about what BOMBING OUT is.

The silliest thing is that the lesson of these gaymes goes out to all parents: have your kids do a WIDE VARIETY OF SPORTS, make them real athletes first...learn to throw a ball, how to swim, maybe even basic gymnastics. Having them do the idiocy that is @F Kids when they're young is depriving them of proper athletic development, as is evidenced in your dear @F gaymes!

They just had to keep it between the lines. Isn't accuracy one of the ten modal domains ? It would have been better if they had Couch, Pudding or Asstro in a dunk tank.

Doyle Kenady used to say that the bench press was so useless in PL that it should be replaced with something athletic like a softball throw. Of course Doyle could bench right around 500 raw.

i'm having a hard time understanding the difficulty of having a throw that qualifies.

Even the fucking CF web page says "Regularly learn and play new sports"

This is what happens when you think doing shitty snatches and kipping pull ups for time is the only sport you need.

For time:

15 foot Rope climb, 5 ascents

145 pound Clean and jerk, 5 reps
15 foot Rope climb, 4 ascents

165 pound Clean and jerk, 4 reps

15 foot Rope climb, 3 ascents

185 pound Clean and jerk, 3 reps

15 foot Rope climb, 2 ascents

205 pound Clean and jerk, 2 reps

15 foot Rope climb, 1 ascent

225 pound Clean and jerk, 1 rep
I'm seeing a lot of misloads, including bars loaded to 245 instead of 225. That, and a lot of No Lifts.

Each station has a full set with 1 pair of each size so here's what's happening, A red, a blue, and green.

From the CF boards
The athletes only had what looked to be a 20' or maybe 25' wide lane to throw in, and if the ball landed outside the lane, it was DNF.
