Teams:

THE rake - The defending Getaway Games champions are back for their 2nd event of 2008. The exact same fantastic four will be in attendance for Bloomington. Can anyone beat them? Gutter Ballin - Gutter Ballin should be in the upper half of about any event. Do they have enough firepower to compete in the top 5? Norfolk and Chance - Probably the most complete team we have seen to date. Can they live up to the hype and take a top 3 ranking? Submerged in Winning Juice - These guys are experienced gamers who keep on improving. Good bowling team with Jenkins and golf is a plus as well. Have improved in softball while hoops is the true x-factor. 4 Headless Horsemen - Back for their 3rd event, these guys are ready to improve. Do not look for them at the top of the standings - but they will put up a fight. The Rookies - The Rookies are back and look to improve on their 2007 season. coffee and doughnuts - Probably won't win an event, but if they finish in the middle for all 5 events they might sneak into 3rd. Thick N Thin - These guys will compete and have fun - that is for sure. The Salty Clams - Very Little Game - All newcomers to Getaway Games - but some solid athletes. No individual winners out of this bunch, but put them all together and it is a great team. Bartonville Pride - Tony Pippin is the only 3-time GG champion in the Pekin event. New team though, will they have what it takes? The A-Team - See the complete team and individual rankings on our GG Rankings page.
