((Relay Rules))
The relay will be a running relay, taking place on a circular track. The starting team member stands at the beginning zone, while each other member takes a position in one of the other zones, as directed by the referee. As the race begins, the starting team member will run, holding the baton, to the first handoff zone.
((How to race: All runners will run at the same time, proceeding around the course in sync even if one would be ICly ahead of the other. Race commentary by the DM will emote who is currently ahead or behind. At the start of each runner's stretch, they will roll str. This will be their Running Score, and will be used to determine the final race results. If a natural 1 is rolled, the runner may stumble or even fall, at the DM's discretion. After all Running Scores have been received, you may run to the next handoff station.))
As they cross into the handoff zone, the second team member will begin to run, reaching behind them for the baton to be handed off. The handoff must be completed within the handoff zone.
((How to hand off the baton: The action will pause each time the runners reach a handoff zone. Both team members will roll dex, and the numbers will be added together to produce their Handoff Score. If either team member rolls a natural 1, the baton may be fumbled, possibly incurring a penalty at the DM's discretion. Otherwise, the Handoff Score will be used to determine how smoothly the handoff went, and will factor into the final race results. Then, once all rolls have been made, the second runners will proceed.))
The first team to cross the finish line is the winner.
((Volleyball Rules))
The match will begin with a coin toss to determine which team will serve first(serves will alternate thereafter). Each team will then array themselves on their side of the net, and the serving team will choose a team member who will hit the ball first.
((How to hit the ball to the other team: The player hitting the ball declares who they are hitting the ball to. At this point, the DM may decide that it's a tricky shot, and penalize the shot at their discretion. Then, the player hitting the ball rolls str, opposed by the target's dex roll. If the dex roll subtracted from the modified str roll is ten or more, the target misses the ball. Otherwise, the ball is hit, and the target becomes the new ball hitter. If the hitting player rolls less than a five, the ball fails to make it over the net and lands on their own side of the court.))
The ball will continue to be hit from one team to the other, until one team lets the ball drop or fails to get it over the net, at which point the opposing team will gain a point. Play will continue until one team has scored 5 points.
