To equate that with an eating competition, they'd call that "reversal of fortune". :smile:yursparky said:

Where was this going to be held at? This could be quite comical.

For fun I have been "awarding" my best guy each day with the title Top Electrician. I haven't won yet, I don't want to seem biased.

Why a flashlight? I do my best work in the dark.
Possible categories:
"Bid Take-Off Calculations"
"Truck Cleanliness and Usable Stock"
"Troubleshooting a Given Fault"
"Go to the Warehouse Sprints"
"Most Ingeneous Temporary Fix to Get the Customer Back Up and Running"
"Installations Taking Less Time than what your Boss Says He Used To Take Years Ago"
"Neat-and-Workmanlike Competition"
"Go-To-The-Trailer-For Parts Relays"
"Largest Electrically-Induced Hole in a Hand Tool"
When I was taking my apprenticeship classes, there was an annual Craft Olympics. I didn't find out too much about it, but it sounded insteresting.

Attention everyone! It's frizbeedog, with a Z
How about a competition on bill collecting from deadbeats. Most money collected gets a dog treat.

It's Frizbee with a Z not Frisbee with an S Because Frisbee with an S goes SSS not ZZZ... :grin:

We have a five-state competition down here in the south for the top apprentices graduating from DOL programs. The competition includes hands-on motor control, hands-on xfmr connections, hands-on switching, and written exams for code and theory. We usually have about 18 participants each April.

Now, these Electricians X-games would certainly have to include a competition on Forum Posting. We all know that Bob would win, but it would be fun to try it anyway.

Electricians X-Games for both the athletic and the mentally gifted.
1. Chasing the Dead Beat
2. Running from the Creditor.
3. Passing the Buck ( kind of a relay )
4. Jumping to conclusions followed by dodging responsibility.
5. Throwing a temper tantrum followed by a whining
contest.
6. Shooting off at the mouth followed by crow eating contest.
7 Last but not least the "Big BS Rodeo".
For the junior competitor perhaps some of that electrical stuff. :grin: :grin:
