The Setup: A bowling lane with 10 pins. The Action: Each of the 4 teammates gets 2 balls to knock down as many pins as possible while seated in a wheelchair. The Penalty: For every pin left standing after a player’s turn, the team must remain "Frozen" for 5 seconds before the next teammate is allowed to take their turn. The Score: Total time from the first ball thrown to the expiration of the final player's penalty clock. Event 3: The "Gridlock" Path The Barrier: Cognitive Processing & Non-Verbal Communication. The Setup: A 4x4 grid of squares on the ground. Only one teammate (The Captain) is shown a "Secret Map" of the safe path across the grid. The Action: The other 3 teammates must cross the grid one by one. No talking or pointing is allowed. The Captain must use non-verbal cues (e.g., claps, whistles, or a bell) to guide teammates. The Rule: If a teammate steps on a "wrong" square, the judge blows a whistle, and that teammate must return to the start of the grid.
