The Games in Detail |
|
Each heat comprised the same 9
standard games,
the descriptions for which were as follows:
Opening Game - Stepping Stones
The teams were
introduced in this opening game. The ten team members (5 men, 5 women) descended
the stairs and then used stepping stones to reach the center of the swimming
pool. Three points were awarded to the team with the most players on the
centre float.
Game 1 Penguin Game Four players dressed as penguins had to step through a gate on a carousel to
get on a running belt. At the end of this belt were fish which had to be
collected. Then they had to run back over the belt and put the fish into an
igloo. Three points were awarded to the team with the most fish in the igloo.
Game 2 Ball Game Three players, each inside a giant ball, had to roll down a slide into the swimming
pool. They then had to roll the ball through a gate and up out of the pool
using a board and then place the ball in a ring at the carousel. After that,
the next player was allowed to start start. Three points were awarded to the
team which had three players completing the course first.
Game 3 Water Climbing Wall, Part I This game was a variation on the Fil Rouge as used in Jeux Sans Frontiθres,
but in Stedenspel it was played by one team on their own as Game 3 and then by
the other team on their own as Game 7. In the game, the first player enters
the water via the stepping stones, swims to the 7 metre high climbing wall,
climbs it and sounds the bell. As soon as he/she had jumped back into the
water, the next player was allowed to start. The aim was to get as many
players as possible to complete the course within a time limit of 3 minutes.
Game 4 Boats Game Two players had to traverse a slide in a little boat to reach a lock, which
three other team members tried to open by filling a leaky tank with water.
When the lock was opened, the player have to row to the little harbour to
sound the bell, allowing the second player to start. The players' progress is
made difficult both by water sprayed at them by their opponents and by
bubbling water in the harbour. Three points were awarded to the team whose
second player finishes the game first.
Game 5 Tree Trunk Game Players had to step on the tree trunk suspended over the pool one by one to
face an opponent who stood in the middle of the trunk. To receive a point
towards the game total, players would have to bash their opponent from the
trunk, while remaining standing upon it themselves. The team with the most
game points in three minutes, would win the game and receive three points
towards their score.
Game 6 Sponge Game Three players dressed as sponges had to step through a gate on the carousel to
stand under a shower from which they had to catch water. Stepping off the
carousel, they then had to put the water in a measuring container. The team
with the most water in the container received three points.
Game 7 Water Climbing Wall, Part II The second team now played this game (see Game 3 for details) and tried to
beat the first team's score. The team with the best score (in either Game 3 or
7) was awarded three points.
The points scores leading into the final game did not determine the winner of
the competition, but would decide how much the trailing team would be
handicapped at the start of this game. Each point that a team were in deficit
to the leaders would mean a two second delay to their start on the final game.
If, for instance, Team A were 6 points behind Team B, then Team A would be
held back and would start the game 12 seconds after Team B. The winner of the
final game would be declared winner of the competition. This meant that a team
could score fewer points than their opponents and yet still win the
competition - something that had previously been a possibility in Simply
the Best and many Intervilles competitions.
Final Game Obstacle Course
Six players had to tackle an obstacle course one at a time. First, they had to
run against the running belt and then jump on to the series of suspended
tree-trunks without falling in the water. They then had to crawl to a slope
and climb it using a rope, while their opponents sprayed them with a garden
hose. The team which finished first with all six players wins the competition. |

Presenters, Officials and Production Team |
|
The Belgian host Guy van Sande cheated on the 'Boat Game' by sneakily
keeping the leaking tank shut so that the lock would open quicker. It didn't
help however, because the game was won by the Dutch team. |
|
Additional Information |
|
As the teams were tied on equal points after Game 7 of this competition,
both teams started the final game - 'The Obstacle Course' - simultaneously.
This was because there was no points difference to provide an advantage for
either team. |

Additional Information |
|
The score may above may appear strange, but this is an illustration that
points don't always mean prizes! Going into the final game, Dutch team
Zoetermeer were leading by 12pts to Merksem's 9pts. As explained in the
Introduction to
this Stedenspel series, the points scores leading into the final game
determined which of the two teams had an advantage on the obstacle course. For
each 1pt difference between the leading and trailing teams, a 2 second delay
in starting was imposed upon the team with the lower points haul. In this
instance, it meant that Merksem had to start the last game six seconds after
Zoetermeer had started. Despite this handicap, the Merksem team caught up and
overtook the Zoetermeer team and won the all-important final game, meaning
they were declared winners of the event. This is how a team can win a
Stedenspel right at the death! |

Returning Teams and Competitors |
|
As part of their celebrations to mark the city's 800th anniversary in the
1970s, Hulst had participated in Zeskamp, the Dutch domestic version of
Jeux Sans Frontiθres. They played in Leiden against Dokkum. Remarkably,
over thirty years later, one of the female Hulst team members from that event
returned to participate once again in this edition of Stedenspel.
