I've heard alot about jugglers having different varieties of games they play against each other (combat, endurance, club collecting....) but are there any games for poi? staff? others?
A google search came up with this: http://www.inspinerate.com/poithegame.php

Just wondering if any of you folks out in HOP land had thought of anything awesome.

Good Post!
Having just come back from the SJC I noticed a definite lack of poi or even staff style games in the juggling olympics.
There was only a one handed butterfly competition (won by Gilim! wooot!)

After cheekily calling the competition old school I was asked by an organizer what competition I would make. I could only think of a orbital competition... which would suck for anyone with sock poi

maybe a continuous under-the-leg walk race would be fun!
hmmm... there must be heaps

I believe I saw a video of Yuta playing with trying to hit stuff with OH stalls at the JFF.

Also why not try simulating double staff patterns... with rows of people instead of staffs!

Gladiatorial style combat where spinners use solid steel poi covered in spikes?

Poi games I've seen:

Under-the-leg race (forward or backward running)
Poi golf Full round / Longest drive / Closest to the pin
2-up pirouette comp
Fastest 3-beat weave (counting how many times RH comes over in a minute)

poi golf that takes me back i remember playing it in a barn in wales with dunc etc circa 2006/7 ish.

basicly its golf but you have one poi in your hand and one poi on the tee postion. you spin the poi so that it catchs the poi on the floor and flys it into the air. normaly with hugely comical effects. very difficult but the possibiltys of it are endliess
