Game description
Ideally and for fairness reasons for this game you should use the same size and shape of bowls because they are going to be filled with water. The objective is for the participants to balance the bowl filled with water on their heads over a predetermined distance. Basically there are 2 methods how the contestants can help themselves: a) they are allowed to hold the bowl with one or two hands or b) alternatively, put a solid rubber ring on the head, which will support the bowl. In the latter, they are not allowed to use their hands as well. At the destination, the water will be put in a measuring cup.
Judging
The winner is the participant who managed to carry the most water.
