COMMANDER’S BUFFALO CHIP TOSS

three representatives based on the buffalo chip toss points. Frontiercade points for each place

are as follows:

Place in Buffalo Chip Toss Frontiercade Points

1st 10 pts

2nd

8 pts

3rd 6 pts

EVENT TIME: 1015 immediately following the Wing Commander’s opening remarks

RULES:

Violations of these rules or any rule associated with the different categories below will

disqualify the participant from accumulating points. However the participant in this case will

still be allowed a ―throw‖ for entertainment value alone.

Each unit commander (or next highest ranking representative) will be given one chance to

throw/launch a buffalo chip as far as possible in one of two categories. Each squadron will only

receive one buffalo chip but may choose the category in which they would like to compete.

Each category will have a 1st, 2

nd, and 3

rd place winner. Each squadron’s

commander/representative may enlist the assistance of one additional person.

Category 1: Human Powered

1. All throws must originate behind the foul line. There are no second chances. All throws

will be measured from where the largest portion of the buffalo chip initially strikes the

ground. The chip must land within the confines of the grass on the parade field in order

to ensure results can be measured.

2. Accuracy and Distance determine points – See figure

a. Positive Points: will be calculated as 1 point for each FOOT from the foul line as

shown in the figure.

b. Penalty Points: will be subtracted as 1 point for each INCH off of center line as

shown in the figure.

c. Multiplier: In order to encourage ingenuity and entertainment value positive

points will be multiplied by a multiplier if a participant uses some means of

propulsion other than a simple arm throw. The multiplier value will be

determined by the role of a cube (large die) before a participants ―throw‖.

d. Points calculation: Total = (FEET x Multiplier) - INCHs

3. The energy used to propel the buffalo chip must come from human power. The use of

stored/external energy will disqualify a participant in this category (see Category 2 for

external energy option).

a. While the energy for propulsion must come from human power, mechanical

advantage and ingenuity may be used.

b. Each squadron’s team of two will have a maximum of 30 seconds to set up there

means of propulsion.

c. Examples of acceptable ingenuity – in all case the energy must solely come from

the human power

i. A long pole may be used to lower/drop the chip into place

ii. A Slingshot may be used to attain additional launch velocity

4. The ―form‖ of the chip can be altered as long as it can still be visually recognizable as a

―buffalo chip‖. A chips shape may be altered (example formed into a sphere) but no

structure may encapsulate the chip as to improve the structural rigidity/strength.

Category 2: External Energy Source

1. Same rules as part 1 for the human powered category.

2. Same rules as part 2 for the human powered category, expect a multiplier will not be

applied as all participants in this category will use some non-human energy for

propulsion.

3. Energy used to propel the chip must come from some form of stored, non-human

power.

a. Each 2 person team will have 30 seconds to set-up before launching their chip

b. Examples of external energy – potato gun, model rocket, canon

4. The form of the chip may be altered to fit/attach to the launching mechanism but the

projectile must consist of solid bovine waste product no less than 50% (by volume).

Additionally, the buffalo chip must be recognizable as bovine waste material; it may not

be encapsulated to improve the structural rigidity/strength.

WINNER: The contestant/team who achieves the highest score in each category will be

declared the winners and awarded first place points and a medal. Ribbons will be awarded for

2nd and 3rd places. An awards ceremony follows event. The top three commanders in each

category should stay for the presentation.

Notes to POC:

Preparation:

1. Bring a 100 ft tape measure. Collect # ____ buffalo chips from the Terry Bison Ranch

south of town, NLT_____________. Ensure each unit POC picks up a chip. Chips can be

decorated/customized as long as they remain recognizable as chip and follow the rules

above. POC must maintain a listing of which units/squadrons have picked up their

chips. Follow up with any squadron/unit that has not picked up their chips in a timely

fashion (minimum 1 wk prior).

2. Field Prep: a foul line and center line will need to be painted on the field. Two orange

traffic cones will be needed to ensure the center line is recognizable running the entire

length from the foul line to the grass edge on the parade field. Grease board/marker and

easel will be required to record the top 3 throws as the event proceeds – a sort of leader

board.

3. 3 personnel will be required. Two individuals to record the measurements and 1 (Capt

Deppensmith) to calculate the scores.

4. Awards: 1st place medal for each category. Total of two medals. A 2

nd and 3

rd place

ribbons for each category. Total of two 2nds place ribbons and two 3rd

place ribbons.

Running the event: This event is easy. You will need to ensure the Buffalo Chips are formed up

and on display on the table. The MW/CC will throw the ―Golden Chip‖ first and then work

your way down from Gp/CC to Sq/CC and then to the next Gp/CC’s and their Sq/CC’s and so

on. After the commander throws his/her chip, have a person measure how far the biggest

chunk goes. Complete the event scorecard with the Top 3 NAMES/UNITs in each category (not

including Gp/CC’s) to the Scorekeepers.
