I like the creative ways people name some of their events. "Okthrowberfest" is a good example, as is "Cold Turkey." I particularly liked Sadjo's recent Chainsaw event with the interesting back story...
What are your favorites? Has an event ever snagged your participation because of a catchy name and interesting format? Any ideas you've had for events based solely on a unique "hook" to get people talking about it?
Two of mine:
Axis and Allies -- a doubles event (hence "allies") where the members of each team get an MVP Axis as part of a player's pack and MUST tee off with the Axis on each hole. Maybe a good night event too, with the transparent MVP plastic being so friendly to LEDs.
Disc or Treat -- should be obvious; a Halloween kids event where they not only play the course in a non-competitive manner, but they trick-or-treat at each tee and get goodies (of course some snacks/candy, but also DG-specific treats like minis, stickers, etc.) from that tee's "resident," as well as some spooks and monsters to pop out of the woods. Oh, and jack o' lanterns.
I actually hope to make both of these a reality next year...the Halloween event has been brewin' in my noggin for a while now; the Axis one obviously a lot less so since the disc just came out.
