There’s some smack talk going around on the Team Saucony blog, specifically in New York. Tomorrow night is the NYC Championship Game in which the bronzed Saucony Original trophy is up for grabs. The trophy along with unlimited bragging rights will not come easy to either of this summer’s finalists. Thrillist (witty, sometimes snarky daily newsletter with product, restaurant and culture finds) is facing off against L’Oreal (yep, the make up company, I was hipped to an upcoming release of a vibrating mascara at the last game).
The teams will throw down in the increasingly popular sport of Circle Rules Football. This game was dreamt up by theater major Greg Manley whose love of sports, game design and competitiveness landed him a multitude of medals & awards at this summer’s Come Out and Play Festival in NYC.
The game, which we’ll play in Central Park Tues Sept 1 @ 7pm, is played in a circular field with the goal in the middle. Goal keepers are stationed back to back on each side of the PCP goal and I should mention, they are allowed full contact with each other, even above the neck is allowed!
While I’ll be cringing & running away from confrontation we’re honored that Greg will be with us to officially ref the game. It’s gonna be awesome!
