Challenge Descriptions
The Networking Games brings together eight local networking groups for a day of fun, competitive, family-reunion-style games. Each challenge is designed to test teamwork, skill, strategy, and a little bit of grit. Some events are bracket-style tournaments, while others are timed or all-play-at-once competitions.
Cornhole Tournament
A 16-team doubles tournament featuring two teams from each networking group. Expect a fast-moving bracket, competitive matchups, and plenty of crowd energy as teams battle for points.
HORSE Basketball Tournament
An 8-team shooting competition with one team representing each networking group. Teams will face off in a classic game of HORSE where precision, creativity, and composure matter.
301 Darts Tournament
An 8-team tournament with one team from each networking group. Players will compete in a classic 301 format where accuracy, focus, and smart strategy can quickly decide a match.
Chippo Golf Tournament
A 16-player singles tournament featuring two individual players from each networking group. Chippo combines golf and cornhole-style gameplay into a fun skill challenge that rewards touch, accuracy, and consistency.
Giant Jenga Tournament
An 8-team competition with one team per networking group. Teams will test their patience, steady hands, and ability to perform under pressure as the tower gets taller and more unstable.
2v2 Grass Volleyball Tournament (Co-Ed)
An 8-team co-ed tournament with one team from each networking group. This event brings quick action, communication, and backyard-competition energy to the field.
Mini Football – Pass & Catch Challenge
Each networking group will enter one team in this all-play-at-once challenge. Using an egg-toss-style format, teammates line up across from each other and take a step back after every successful pass and catch, making each round tougher than the last.
Blindfolded Tasks Relay Race
Each networking group will enter one team of four in this timed relay event. Created in support of F2N’s blind massage therapist, Katelyn, this challenge asks players to complete everyday tasks while blindfolded, with the fastest team earning the win.
Tug-of-War Tournament
An 8-team bracket featuring one team from each networking group. Teams must include at least two women, and success will come down to strength, coordination, and pure stubbornness.
