Newly entered team LeJendSS was the most accurate, scoring an impressive 16pts, unmatched by any other team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_6824.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7059\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_6824.jpg\" alt=\"It's a Knockout bounce ball\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Teamwork makes the dream work<\/h3>\n<p>The second challenge, \u2018Precious Cargo\u2019, was more tense. Teams held a string attached to a ring. In that ring was an oversized ball. The aim was for each player to hold a string and collectively carry the ball through a set of obstacles. The team most able to perform under pressure was Liquorice All Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Pictionary\u2019 was a very contested challenge, with Marlowe\u2019s Marauders and Super Human Sciences tied for first place.<\/p>\n<p>The final challenge \u2018Hidden Gems\u2019 was all about teamwork. Teams could blindfold 1, 2 or 3 of their players, who were then directed into a field of balls and asked to retrieve as many as possible. LeJendSS claimed the top spot in this one as well!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_6740.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7057\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_6740.jpg\" alt=\"It's a Knockout challenege\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Everyone&#8217;s a winner<\/h3>\n<p>Some very creative performances throughout the top spot on this one. Liquorice All Sports won the overall event with impressive scoring performances in each challenge. Well done to this year\u2019s new teams LeJendSS and Living La Vida Mocha who both finished in the top 4. A special mention to CEMS, Strategically Planning Our Performance and ToMORA Never Dies as they decided to unite and compete as one team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_6748.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7058\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_6748.jpg\" alt=\"Staff team\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first event of the Vice Chancellor\u2019s Cup 2022\/23 edition, teams were tasked with four challenges, each under a time limit of 3 minutes. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/vice-chancellors-cup-highlights-its-a-knockout\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78153,"featured_media":7061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[240639],"tags":[149556,240639,95646],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7056"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/78153"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7056"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7056\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7062,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7056\/revisions\/7062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentsport-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
