Also, you don't actually have to be an employee of the company you are representing - it's open to friends/family etc.

Helped out at one of these games a few years ago. they seemed to be well run and great fun, even if the did try to push their ethos down peoples throats a bit

Not sure if the same applies now, but they had a great way of doing the medal ceremomies.....The Winner is presented with his/her medal first..then he/she presents the second and third place .....kind of a nice touch I thought

As i was presenting the medal over the losers head, the medal belted him right on the nose!

There used to be a football team out there (can't remember which one) that used to award the man of the match a bottle of champagne, it was then his choice to award the bottle to whoever he felt helped him the most during hte game or achieved the most memorable play etc.

That really is the meaning of teamwork :) :) :)
