Preparations for the event started since last year. From the sourcing of sponsors, planning of events rules and regulations, inviting participants to sign up,...etc. And we are glad that our long awaited event has been a success thanks to everyone!

After all participants are done with their final preparations for the event, our emcee, Shuyu started the trials for our first event--the 4-men male dragon!

The race was an exciting one as the teams came in very close to each other, with timing differences of just a few seconds!

Team Seba came in first for this event! Congrats, guys! (:
The next event for the day was the 4-women female dragon, which was initially a walkover for the NUS girls. After their race, the girls from NTU and SMU decided to form a combined team to compete in the event as well!

This was one of the more challenging events for the day as it wasn't easy to control such a long dragon! There were a few dragons that were disqualified coz of that...

The highlight of skate challenge--Captain's Ball on SKATES was up next! It's basically just and improvised version of captain's ball that was played on skates. It was an exciting competition as it was a test of team spirit, skating techniques and speed! I shall let the pictures do the story-telling...
Thanks Kahming for being the commentator for captain's ball on skates, you definitely made the event a much more entertaining one! (:
