This event is part ability and part random. There's heavyweight and lightweight categories - you get first pick of the prize pool if you're in the heavyweight division, but you have a higher chance of winning if you're in the lightweight category! If your Samanayr overextends itself, it could end up hurting itself and dropping the caber, not winning anything - oh no!
The winner in each category will be the Sam that throws their caber the furthest, and the second-furthest will be the runner-up. There are four items in the prize pool - the heavyweight winner gets first pick, then the lightweight winner, then the heavyweight runner-up, then the lightweight runner-up.
In addition, some thrown caber will uncover a prize when it lands :O Ooh! But if your Samanayr drops the caber, it won't uncover anything.
How well a Samanayr throws its caber will be a combination of luck and strength! A Samanayr will be assigned a 'throwing' stat based on its appearance and traits, and additional stats will be assigned based on its category and how hard it decides to throw - gently, some effort, or FULL FORCE! If a Samanayr fumbles or overexerts itself, either by trying to throw too hard or finding the caber too heavy (or even just by stumbling randomly), it will drop the caber!
What do you have to do to play? Just sign up with a Samanayr that you own, or one that you borrowed from someone (with permission)!
Recommendations for the heavyweight category
- Bulky, strong-looking, larger Sams

Not recommended to participate

- Sams who rely on magic to move (magic is not permitted for this event, although magical Samanayrs may participate)
Let's take a look at that prize pool, shall we? :O
Based on coffee, with a new trait - steam! Steam escapes from openings at various points, in this case along the shoulders.
In addition, some thrown cabers may dig up additional prizes when they land!
