The Competition
Punt, Pass, & Kick is a skills competition where contestants are judged by both distance and accuracy, when punting, throwing, and kicking a football.
The competition is divided into three events:
- Punt: Participants demonstrate their punting skills, where they attempt to kick the football as far as possible for distance while aiming for accuracy.
- Pass: Participants showcase their passing skills by throwing the football from a designated distance with accuracy and distance being the key factors.
- Kick: This event focuses on kicking the football for field goals, where participants attempt to kick the ball through uprights from various distances.
Each participant competes in all three events, and their scores are based on distance and accuracy. The contestant with the highest overall score across all three events is declared the winner.
Every contestant is allowed one punt, pass, and kick in this competition. Scoring is based on both distance and accuracy, and is also determined from where a contestant's ball first makes contact with the ground, therefore excluding any bounces or rolls to the distance.
Example: If a contestant passed their ball 100 feet (30.5 m), but it went wide of the measuring tape by 30 feet (9.1 m), their final score for passing would be 70; the score is the difference of the two measures, testing the contestant's ability to throw for distance and accuracy.
The distances of the balls are measured and rounded to the nearest inch. A person cannot score less than 0. A participant's final score is the total of the three events (Punt, Pass, and Kick). If, for example, a participant scores 40 for punting, 60 for passing and 22 for kicking, the participant's final score is 122.
In the event of a tie for first, second, or third place, each tied participant competes in a playoff to determine the final standings.
In a playoff, everyone involved competes head-to-head again in all three events.
