Annual Mayfair Competition

Mayfair is an annual Model High School tradition that serves as a battle of the classes field day. Events are held in which classes may earn points to achieve legendary status and their class entered on the Mayfair Cup. Main events will be held in the first part of the afternoon before the rest of the competition splits into mini-tournaments across campus. All teams will be comprised of students from the same graduating class. Each event will earn the participants the following points: 1st- 1,000 points, 2nd- 800 points, 3rd- 600 points, 4th- 400 points, 5th- 200 points; anyone that does not place within the top 5 places does not earn any points for their team. A registration fee is charged for the tournaments of $1 per individual competitor; teams should turn in their fees together. Registration fees are donated to the MHS Angel Tree and Student Council. The day will end with the showing of the yearbook video and the announcement of the winner of the Mayfair Cup.

Competitors are first come, first serve, so don't forget to register. Deadline for registering and paying any registration fees is May 12th.

We will have concessions and the amazing food truck Pineapple Twist selling Dole Pineapple Whip and other sorbets for a hot day.

Mayfair Round 1

1-Tug of War 2-Potato Sack Race 3-Three Legged Race 4-Relay 5-Sponge Race

There are five field day style events that will kick off the event. We will begin with single elimination Tug of War. Each team will be comprised of 4 guys and 4 girls from the same graduating class. There will be one team per class. As soon as the second mark on the rope from the centre tap/ribbon mark crosses over to centre line, the team to pull the rope to their area wins the game. The end person (Anchor Person) is not allowed to wrap or tie the rope around them – they must hold onto it in the same way as others in the team.

The second event is the Potato Sack Race; there will be a total of two representatives from each class for a total of 10 entries. Participants will run to the sack, put both feet in and begin hopping toward the finish line. Contestants must keep both feet in sack and at least one hand on the sack at all times. The sack must remain as close to the waist as possible and should not fall below the knees. The first racer to the finish line wins.

The third event is the Three-Legged Race. Each competitor stands next to their partner and puts their arm around their waist. The inside legs are brought together, and a rope is used to tie them together. Competitors will race to a finish line.

The fourth event is the Relay Race which is comprised of 4 events- the 1st player should walk or run around the cone and back to the team, focusing on keeping the egg on their spoon so it doesn’t fall. If an egg falls off of a spoon, that player needs to return to the start line and start over again. If the player has gone around the cone when the egg drops then the competitor only needs to return to the cone. Once the first player has returned to the finish line, they must tag the second competitor to begin their race. The second event is the dizzy bat race where the player will run to the bat and spin 10 times with the bat on the ground. The competitor will then run back to tag competitors three and four. One plays the role of the driver, and the other the role of the wheelbarrow. The driver holds on to the other player's ankles, while the other player walks on their hands. When the players reach the cone they will switch roles to return to their team to tag the final competitor. The fifth player will run the bowlegged balloon race and put a balloon between their legs above their knees and race to get to the chair at the end. If the balloon pops or falls out the player must go back to the start line. The first team that has player five reach the chair and pop the balloon wins. There will be one relay team per grade level.

The fifth event is the Sponge Toss race. Teams stand in relay formation with a full bucket of water in front of them and an empty container at the end. Each player will take turns running to the empty container to squeeze the liquid from the sponge into the empty container. The first team that has a container that reaches the line will win. There will be one team per grade level.

Spikeball Rules

Infractions:

• Defensive players must make an effort to get out of the offensive team’s way. If they do not, the offensive team may

call a “hinder” and the point is replayed.

• If a player hits a shot off the net then the ball hits their teammate, or themselves, they lose a point.

• The following infractions cause a loss of a point:

o A defensive player attempts to play a ball out of turn

o A player hits a shot off the net which subsequently hits themselves or a teammate

If the defensive team has no play on the ball, they should cede the point to the offense

o A player makes contact with the Spikeball net set, moving the set from its original position or affecting the

trajectory of the ball

Play on if neither net position nor trajectory are changed.

• Ultimately if there are any disagreements, replay the point.

Hinder: any situation in which a player’s positioning prevents the opposing team from safely making a play on the ball.

Remember: player safety is paramount.

• Defender Hindering the Offense - Defending players must make an effort not to impede the

offending team’s possession or play on the ball. If a defender’s position prevents a makeable

play on the ball, the infracted player may call “hinder.” The call should be made as soon as the

infraction occurs and play should stop immediately.

o Avoidable Hinder - If the hinder is avoidable and the offensive player has a strong

play on the ball, the point is awarded to the offensive team.

- Example - Defensive team throws arm in front of shot over the net, preventing

offensive player from swinging.

- Example - the hitter is contacted by a defensive player during the act of swinging

in close proximity to the net.

o Unavoidable Hinder - If the defender has no time to avoid the hinder when playing

in a legitimate defensive position, the point is replayed, even if the offensive team has a

strong play on the ball.

- Example - A close range body block pops up and goes directly into the defending

team.

• Defender in the Ball’s Path - If during possession (or en route to the net), the ball contacts

the defender to prevent a makeable offensive play, this is a hinder. The point will either be

replayed or rewarded to the offense depending on the circumstances (see 6.1.1 and 6.1.2).

o Offense Hindering the Defense: While less common, hinders can occur by the offensive team. The infracted

player may call “hinder.” The call should be made as soon as the infraction occurs. Hinders by the offense

result I n the point being replayed.

- Example - Non-hitting offensive player contacts defensive player preventing them from

making a play.

- Example - Hitter falls into defensive player after taking their shot.

- Example - After setting the ball, the setter attempts to restrict the defense’s movement.
