For my presentation, I present the idea called “Chaotic Catch” which is a simple game of toss with an interesting catch between 3 players. First their are two players that toss the ball between each other with one player on the side that spectates the round. Once the two players tossing the ball reach a rally of 10 passes, the third player may choose to interrupt the rally or wait until 50 passes before having to switch with the two players throwing the ball between each other. They can also switch if the two players make at least 10 passes and end up dropping the ball afterwards. When the bench player decides to switch the two passing players play rock papers scissors to see which player will be in debt to the other, with the loser owing the winner the money and having to swap out. If two players have an existing bet, they add the total of the current rally with that of the bet and the loser of the duel ends up owing the other player the total pot (ex: if Player A owes Player B $2 and they do another toss for about $1 and Player A beats Player B, then Player B owes $3 to Player A). This continues until all players decide that they are done playing and decide to pay out the winners according to the bets that were made. My score was inspired by Yoko-Ono’s demonstration of the public altering her outfit/appearance and then shifted to reflect popular online trends from YouTube channels such as Mr.Beast’s challenges to compete for money as well as AreYouKiddingTV’s social experiment of getting a crowd together to play in their game.
