Your life group has been placed with three other life groups into a pod. Your points from the food challenge, style, and six starting games will all contribute to your pod's score and determine who will make it to the semi finals. Three pods (12 life groups) will make it to the semi-finals, from there you will compete as a single life group for the championship.

Your life group will line up with the other life groups in your pod during the games. There will be signs numbered 1-8 on the field, so stand behind your pod number day-of.

Each pod will create a "four course meal" to be judged. Each Life Group will create one of the meals. Please bring the food item to the stage by 4:30 p.m. the day of the picnic and place your food item with your pod's other submissions. Tables will be labelled 1-8, so place the food item with your pod.

If one of the life groups doesn't participate in the food challenge, then you still get partial points. If a Life Group doesn't participate, the other Life Groups may NOT make a course for them (only one course per Life Group).

You will dress as a life group, not as a pod. Your style points will contribute to the Pod's total.

There will be six total games with two of them being trivia. Each individual Life Group will answer the trivia questions and the points will contribute to your pod's total points.

Four of the six games will be "active" in that you will be sending members from your pod onto the field. Now, for these four games, you may only send members from ONE life group per game. Each life group must send volunteers for different games and no life group may go twice. This does not affect the semi finals. So someone who may have been sent to the field for one of the "active" games could still play in the semi-finals.

By the time you make it to the semi-finals, you will no longer be playing as a pod, but as your individual life groups.

Reach out to your life group leader for more details and specifics!
