Component-wise Rules

Banana Bonanza: 2 participants

Of the two participants, one will have to eat as many bananas as possible in a period of one

minute. The second participant in each team will then be allowed to run to the mess, in

decreasing order of the number of bananas eaten (i.e. if section Y eats the most bananas, the

runner of section Y gets to go to the mess first).

Sack race: 1 participant, male

Each contestant must have both legs in a sack and hold the sack above their waist level or

higher at all times. If the sack falls below knee length, the contestant shall be disqualified.

3 legged race: 2 participants, both female

Two female participants will be tied at the ankle and will race towards the finish line. In case

the tie breaks/opens in the middle of the race, the participants will have to start again by

tying a new piece of rope.



Egg race: 2 participants

A relay race in which each participant will throw an egg to his/her teammate and race

towards the finishing line by repeating this successively. The participants are not allowed

to run with the egg. If the egg falls and breaks, the participants will start again with a new

egg from the starting point.

Surprise Component: 2 participants

Details will be provided later.

Graffiti

It is to be necessarily made on a chart paper of size 25 (will be provided).

Only one chart paper will be provided and the graffiti must be made only on that paper.

All other material for making the graffiti should be brought by the sections.

The duration for making the graffiti is a maximum of 20 minutes.

The chart paper will be put up in the mess with posters on the next day.

The graffiti will be on a vertical display.

It should be entirely handmade. Printed material is prohibited and will attract penalty.

Criteria for Evaluation:

General Rules

The participants of the races are responsible for reserving space in the mess which will

later be used to put up respective section posters.

Once the first participant reaches the mess, a countdown of 5 minutes will start, within

which the posters have to be put up.

Only the participants (and nobody else) can enter the mess. When the time ends,

everybody must leave the mess immediately.

There will be CultComm members to guide/monitor you in the mess complex.

The space that you intend to reserve for the section has to be completely covered with

paper (within specified dimensions) which clearly identifies the section. Hence section

name should be mentioned on the paper. Any open space will be up for grabs

You can occupy as much space as you wish but use only standard size sheets to reserve

it, which is a 2-sided newspaper (4 pages, e.g. first 2 and last 2 combined)

Creativity 30

Participation 30

Final Outcome 40



Two-sided plaster or any sort of glue can be used to fix the posters. However, two-sided

plaster is preferred because it is easy to remove the dummy sheet in order to put up the

designed posters.

Spaces which are tough to reach can be left empty. These will be allocated to each section

equally by CultComm after Pub Run.

The sections are NOT allowed to use any musical instrument / sound making device

except drums for the Pub Run day.

CultComm will not provide material to practice for Pub Run; the sections should procure

material for practice on their own if they wish to.
