Throwing a Beer Olympics event vs. hosting a Day of Games – What’s better? and
Some extra stuff you’ll need to make your Beer Olympics a SUCCESS!:
Beer Olympics Events vs. Day of Games Events:
Beer Olympics Games - Beer Pong (Beirut), Quarters, Case Race, Flip Cup (Boat Race), Beer Tasting, Beer Die, Beer Chug, Obstacle Course, QB Challenge
Day of Games Events – EVERYTHING included at a Beer Olympics PLUS Sporting Events – Cornhole, Bocce, Horseshoes, Dodgeball, Ladder Golf, Washers, Egg Toss, Shotput, Long Jump, Disc Golf (Frisbee Golf), Home Run Derby, Over the Line, Volleyball, Prisoner, War, Ace, Poker, Darts, Limbo, Arm Wrestling, Feats of Strength, Hacky Sack, Campus Golf, Staring Contest, Bar Games, Eating contests, + Beer Pong and the rest of the drinking games.
Advantage – The Day of Games – While a Beer Olympics is great for getting wasted, a complete Day of Games is the only way to enjoy drinking, leisure sports, team events, and be competitve.

Beer Olympics Costumes vs. Day of Games Uniforms:
Beer Olympics Costumes - Dress up like a country. Your team will all wear similar colors and corny stereotypes from whatever country you are. Example – If you are Italy… you eat Pizza all day and say things like “Mama Mia!”.
Day of Games Event – Wear an outfit determined by your team – can be anything. If you want to dress up like a county then dress up like a country. Or maybe you want to dress up like the cast from Saved By the Bell? Or characters from Scarface, or Super Troopers, or everyone wants to be animals, or WWF wrestlers from the 80’s… whatever! Anything goes.
Advantage – The Day of Games – The more options the better! Being restricted to dressing up like a country is no fun. Only one team gets to be USA and after that there are only a few other options that are enjoyable. At a DOG event you can decide on whatever uniform suits the team. Props and theme music encouraged.

Beer Olympics Ideas vs. Day of Games Concept:
Beer Olympics Ideas - Organize your friends, find a house with plenty of space, trash the house, drink all day, get wasted, awards ceremony.
Day of Games Events – Invite your buddies, set up 2 major teams or have several teams, pick a place to house the drinking events, use backyard or nearby park for any leisure sports, drink all day, party all night, awards ceremony for winning team and the MVG.
Advantage – The Day of Games – Same idea as Beer Olympics but you do more than just drink.
———————————————————–
Beer Olympics Rules vs. Day of Games Format:
Beer Olympics Rules - Teams of 4-6 represent a country. Guys and girls must be on each team. Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals are handed out to the winners of each event. The total medals count will determine the winning country.
Day of Games Format - Teams compete not only in drinking games but also in various leisure sports games. Points are awarded for winning efforts on an individual and team basis. At the end of the day all scores are added and a winning person (MVG) and a winning team are determined. Trophy is awarded to winners.
Advantage – The Day of Games – Who wants to play the “Beer Pong Event” only once?? At the Day of Games you are not stuck to the format of playing each game just once. If you want to play the same game several times you can just keep playing and keep adding up the points for the winners. At a Beer Olympics you are one and done.

Here’s the deal – If you are organizing a Beer Olympics, it’s time to take the next step. Graduate from Beer Olympics to The Day of Games. You still get to create awesome ridiculous-looking uniforms, beer is obviously still involved, but now you can also play games, leisure sports, and compete throughout the entire day. The Day of Games is here. Check out what you are missing out on…
