Morton’s List: Chaos Crow Tournament

This adventure hosted by Nathan Prime and the Ninjas of Smoke Crew engages Inner Circles who under the crow’s shadow try to complete chaotically fused Quests that are sure to cause mayhem wherever they lead. Prizes: Members of the winning Inner Circle will each be given a Chaos Crow metal charm and a signed copy of Morton’s List.

Faygo Launching Contest

This is a skill that Juggalos have been perfecting since the first Faygo bottle was rocketed from an ICP stage on a carbonated trail of bubbly pleasure. For this contest of explosive fun, competitors have 2 attempts to launch a Faygo bottle from the stage as far as they can using any technique they wish (triple tap stage bounce, middle finger rocket launch, suppository release, Hail Mary throw, etc.). Whoever achieves the furthest distance gets to sit on the throne of the Faygo King, and whoever is still sitting there at the end of the contest wins! Prize: Furthest distance—$200 gift certificate. Those wishing to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before the contest begins (100 competitors max).

Flow Master Rap Battle

In America there is a race car driver…go to the track and whisper his name. Say Mario Andretti and watch all the heads nod up and down. Or go to a boxing ring in China and mention the name Zou Shiming and witness the glow of admiration in everyone’s eyes. Both men risked death daily and both are legends: for you never make the great at anything by playin’ it safe. So you should take the chance to become a legend at this competition by putting wit, confidence, and verbal mastery to the test. Each performer will first freestyle for 60 seconds (to a provided beat). The judges will then determine who will move on to the final round. The final round will then consist of an elimination-style battle where rappers will compete directly against each other until there is only one. Final Round Prizes: First Place—GOTJ Gold Plaque and $300 in cash; Second Place—$100 gift certificate; and Third Place—$50 gift certificate. Those wishing to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before the contest begins.

Juggalo Gong Show

This chaotic game show hosted by the flamboyant Chuck Bareass is one of the Gathering’s best kept secrets. Anyone can compete by taking the stage to display whatever talent they possess; be it pogo stick tricks, projecting flame farts, singing acapella, playing butt bongos, or a jiu jitsu demonstration (but please no rapping). You can perform for up to 2 minutes alone or with a group of friends. Don’t come correct and you may get gonged, but last till the end and the judges will rate your performance, with the top three scores winning!

Juggalo Psypher Auditions

This is huge! For the second year in a row we bring to you your chance to be in a Psychopathic Records filmed and produced Juggalo Psypher music video! The first step is to show up for auditions on Thursday (3 p.m.–6 p.m.) where you will get to rap or sing 16–20 bars in front of a panel of judges (a beat will be provided). Each performer will then be scored on flow, lyrical content, and stage presence. The names of the top 6 scored will then be posted at the Info Tent at 7 p.m. (if you win, make sure to inform a ninja at the Info Tent). Those chosen will then return at 1 a.m. to perform in a professionally filmed music video at the DJ Party in the Fun House. This video will then eventually be posted on all Psychopathic’s social media sites, webpages, and YouTube channel! This is arguably one of the dopest contests at the Gathering this year! Stop playin’!

Killer Clown Academy

Ever wonder what it would be like to be one of the killer clowns on stage during an ICP live performance? Well here is your chance to find out first hand! The Killer Clown Academy is a grueling but short school that simulates the real conditions that these performers go through. There are four challenges in all during this elimination style process with the top 3 students earning the right for a once in a lifetime opportunity to perform on the Big Top stage during ICP’s GOTJ 17 show! Those wishing to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before the contest begins.

Dance of the Wicked – All students will take the stage at the same time to get as live as humanly possible. All the while they will be blasted with super soakers, confetti cannons, water balloons and empty Faygo bottles. Judges will give out 20 golden tickets to those that schooled it the hardest, who will then get to move on to the next round.

Faygo Flair – Students will be scored by judges by how creatively they can launch, spray or empty a 2-liter of Faygo. Panache, showmanship and style are all that matters; distance is not important. Those in clown suits will get an extra 2-liter and will get to use the better of the two scores. The students with the top 12 scores will get to move on to the next round.

Faygo Relay – Students are timed by how quickly they can move 20 2-liters of Faygo from one container to another using any method they choose (but no tools). The students with the best 6 times will move on to the next round.

Super Soaker Marksmanship – Students will attempt to be the fastest at knocking down 6 empty Faygo bottles set at various distances using only a super soaker filled with Faygo. The students with the best 3 times will graduate from the Killer Clown Academy and be able to perform on stage with ICP as a Killer Clown! Dope…dope…DOPE!!!

Miss Juggalette Pageant

Juggalettes are by far the most attractive women on the planet. Their beauty is exemplified through their intellect, charm, creativity, spirit, and physical form. They are the mothers of the Earth and nurturers of life who can avert war with but a smile. They are to be treasured, respected, and honored above all because it’s their love that moves the universe. This pageant pays homage to all of our treasured Juggalettes and for many is the most monumental event at the Gathering. It consists of three rounds: #1: Personality—Q&A. #2: Talent—Contestants show off a skill (dancing, rapping, juggling, etc.). And #3: Swimsuit competition! Judges will tally the scores from all rounds (taking crowd reaction into heavy consideration) to determine who will become this year’s Juggalette Queen!

Ninja Olympics

Shadow warriors gather each year for this sacred martial contest to determine whom amongst them will be bestowed the title of grand master of all ninjas! To survive one must possess equal parts strength, cunning, quickness, and prowess. The last assassin left standing will then be able to trod upon the shattered corpses of their fallen foes to claim their prize!

Those wishing to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before the contest begins (32 competitors max—first come first serve, with those wearing ninja suits moving to the front of the line).

Tattoo Contest

There are those with a seemingly lifelong obsession for getting tatted up. They view their body as a canvas on which an artist can break out the irons and start slinging ink. If this describes you, then it’s time to show off your masterpieces during this competition, whether you have a devotion tattoo, Hello Kitty tramp stamp, tribal sleeve, “exit only” anal tattoo, or full on body suit. Each competitor will have a chance to display their works to the crowd and judges who will score their tattoos based on size, originality, and artistic quality.

Texas Hold'Em Bounty Tournament

This is a game that will test the mental fortitude of its players. It is equal parts deception, wit, endurance, luck, intimidation, and perception. The best are those who play the player and not the cards, because in the end it’s predominately a game of skill as well. For this grueling elimination-style competition, players try to earn all the chips to win, while also looking to take out the celebrity bounty player to earn the special bounty prize! Prizes: First Place—GOTJ Gold Plaque and a custom made case of 300 Hatchetman poker chips; Second Place—$100 gift certificate; Third Place—$50 gift certificate; Bounty Prize—Silver Hatchetman Charm. Those wishing to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before the tournament begins (80 players max) and must know how to play the game and deal.

The Neden Game

Got Neden? This ridiculous and slightly perverse game show returns once again to the Gathering and it aims to please (like a butt-plug wielding Brony). Here contestants are randomly drawn from the crowd to try to win a date with a tempting Juggalette or a suave Juggalo ninja (two rounds total). All you have to do is answer a series of bizarre questions from your romantic conquest who will remain hidden behind a screen until the very end when they will choose their date. The winner of each round will then get the privilege of hanging out backstage with their new found lady friend or suitor from 8 p.m. till midnight! What happens after that relies entirely on Cupid’s ability to penetrate (or not) with his performance-enhanced lubricated arrow.

Ingredients: 20 succulent Juggalettes, 20 white t-shirts, 50 gallons of Faygo, 12 buckets, 6 super soakers, 4 large kiddie pools, 1 dope MC, 1 live DJ, and 1 large crowd of excited Juggalos.
