___I was thinking about how there are "wild" basketball tournaments, why not Running Poker? Three men on each team. You have to bid: you have to designate one person as the a triple (points winner), another as a double (points winner), and last as a sinle (point winner).
___You need, in the best case scenario, six teams - lanes one and two are left open - you run three races. In the case of a tie, the outcome of the races between the triples decides the winner.
___The winners take all ( e.g. 4 x 50 = 200) the starting fees of other teams minus the organization cost, exept that the first runners-up get their money back.
___Distance? 300 meters.

____Legal gambling -- the winning team or triple takes every other team's entree fees minus the organizing cost, and minus the fees of the second team or triple. The second team or triple gets their fees back.
____You designate runners as the primary, secondary, and tertiary. They participate in the primary, secondary, and tertiary races, respectively.
____All runners within each race score 7 points for the first place, 6 for second place, 5 for third place etc. The number of points scored by the runners designated as primary is tripled, designated as secondary is doubled, and the numbers of points scored by the tertiary runners is unchanged. The sum of the points scored by three runners on the team is the team's final score.
___Let say:
Runners of the team A place first in the primary race, sixth in the secondary race, and sixth in the tertiary race. Therefore, the team scores 3 x 7 + 4 + 2 = 21 + 4 + 2 = 27 points.
____The minimum number of teams is 4 and maximum is 6.

Cross Country is like a poker game you have to be holding 5 good cards at all time.
