Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Welcome to The Islanders Beach Championship. This competition will see athletes from around the world travel to the 10000 Islands to compete for glory, fame, and a voucher for a free meal at the Taco Island Tiki Bar.
All events in this competition will take place on the 10000 Islands beaches to take advantage of our region's natural beauty.
The Championship will begin on the 7th of November.
Events:
Beach Fashion Show
The opening event in the Islander’s Beach Championship involves Models from each Nation showing off some Beach Themed Fashion, either in the style of their home Region or Nation, or in a 10000 Islands tropical theme. This competition allows every participating Nation to either proudly display the splendor, creativity, and/or edginess of its homeland’s beach attire, or shamelessly pander for the favor of the local XKI Judges by displaying attractive beachwear befitting of only 10000 Islanders.
Taco Island Sand Sculpting
This contest takes us down to the shores of Taco Island, itself. Artists from each Nation must construct a sand sculpture from the beautiful white-sands that adore and define one of the most picturesque and pristine beaches of all 10000 Islands. The sculptures must measure at least 3x3x3 feet, and survive the island’s battering winds and surf for no less than 1 hour after the judging starts. Sculptures depicting Cats, Pandas, or Penguins are strictly forbidden.
”Wipe-Me-Out-Not!” Surfing
The churning and turbulent waters off Wavebreak Beach will be the venue for our Surfing competition. Each Nation’s surfer will make 3 runs, attempting to be more and more creative from a risk-taking viewpoint with each attempt. We will all hope for a relatively calm day, as the “normal” wind-blown waters off Wavebreak are beyond the capabilities of even the most skilled and experienced Surfer dude or dudette.

Silly Hat Limbo Competition
This contest will bring especially limber Dancers from all Nations together, to see just ”how low can you can go?” All Dancers must also adorn themselves with a silly hat, which they must both wear and retain on their heads after successfully passing underneath the “Dripping Taco” Limbo bar.
Individual Sailing-Boat Orienteering
This may be the most challenging of our events. Sailboat Captains must circumnavigate an orienteering course around Taco Island in the quickest time possible. For no good reason, but interestingly, it will have a “running” start, beginning inside the Taco Tiki Bar. At the starter’s gun, each Captain must dash from their barstools, down the beach to their anchored sailboats, and then navigate their way around or through various obstacles at sea, back to the starting dock, and finally up the beach to their starting barstools in the Taco Tiki Bar.
"Under The Sea” Spear Gunning
Here, scuba divers from all participating Nations will maneuver their way through Shipwreck Reef and spear gun various targets for points. Prized targets will range from the highly sought after & scrumptious “Blue Water Bacon Fish”, to the poisonous and highly ‘ouch!’-producing “Schnitzel-Like Smelling Algae Plant”. However…Beware! Thar be monsters, traps, and many sharp pointy things in them thar corals, as well!
Rock Pool Forage and Cook Off
This is primarily a culinary competition. Chefs from each Nation must search through rock pools, and forage under the rocks, to find mouth-watering ingredients to cook a delicious meal for the Judges. However, the Chefs will also be graded on the quality of a befitting toast they make to the Judges on the subject of how fairly and magnificently the Judges have carried out their difficult tasks during the games.
"Spice My World” Cocktail Making and Judges’ Toast
The culminating event of the Islander’s Beach Championship is one requiring Mixologists to create a unique cocktail - with an extra kick – again, for the judges’ palates. Each concoction should capture the spirit of these Islander games. They should also strive to provide a memorable beverage with which to remember each participating Nation, until we all meet in friendship once again, in the next inter-regional games.
If you have participated in one of the previous Cross Regional Games, or are ready to launch your nation's athletes on to the world stage, this is a chance for you to compete in the 10000 Islands. To sign up, post below with your list of athletes.
