The World Mobile Phone Throwing Championships, August 20
The 2011 World Mobile Phone Throwing Championships are set to take place on August 20 in Savonlinna, Finland.
The coastal city, also famous for its annual opera festival, has hosted the event since 2000.
There are two mobile phone throwing styles for this year’s event: traditional and freestyle.
According to the official website of the competition: “Traditional style ie. over the shoulder throw, where the length of the throw is crucial. In Freestyle the style is free and the contestant gets points for aesthetics and creative choreographics from 4 to 10. In both categories the contestant with the highest score wins.”
The organizers provide each contestant with an official mobile phone used especially for the event.
As for any competitor who might be contemplating the use of performance enhancers, the rules state: “There will be no doping tests. However the jury can rule out the contestant if his/her mental or physical preparedness is not adequate for full a performance. Contestant can also be excluded from the Championships if he/she is considered to be a danger for himself/herself, to other contestants or to the public.”Competition starts at 3pm and costs 5 euros for individuals, 2 euros of juniors and 50 euros for teams.
