THE REASON FOR ONLINE COMPETITIONS Online throwing competitions were started because many people can't attend an actual event due to how far away the events are being held, or because they couldn't get enough time off of work etc. So the idea is to have an "online tournament" hoping more people can take part and have a good time throwing against others. 2nd EVENT (Results Listed Below) Here are the directions if you would like to get in on the 2nd 'Throwzini Online Knife Throwing Tournament': * Stand at 13.5 feet. No closer, no further from the target. * Use any sized knife you want. Throw it by the handle or the blade, it doesn't matter as long as it sticks in the target. * Target height can be anywhere from your knees to your chest. * Attach the following 10 items to your target/s: 1 playing card 1 business card 2 - 3 inch squares 3 - 2.5 inch bullseyes 8 inch long 2 inch thick strip of paper a 4 inch long 1 inch thick strip of paper 1 old AOL cd/disc. (If you don't have one, just wait and one will show up in your mail eventually :-) * You must hit your intended target before you can move on to the next target. * Write down how many knives it took you to hit each target and send your results in to me by August 31st, 2005. We want to know how many knives it took you to hit all 10 targets. Prize: Bragging Rights! :-) Dalmo Mariano Da Silva (Brazil) 13 and half feet is a strange distance for me. I chose the one and half spins and most of the knives stuck handle Down.
