Event Coverage: Post-Calvinball Game in Richmond, VA

The April 12, 2009 game of Calvinball ended jovially with O'Brien and Barrow in the lead with 90 points and Pritchard following closely with 85 points. All players congratulated each other afterward and agreed that ultimately, the enjoyment of the game originates from the spontaneity and camaraderie amongst the players. Even when "alliances" are formed, it is all in the nature of the sport and, in the end, the most important aspect is the experience of the players and their appreciation of one another: the way they allow their imaginations to run rampant and play off of each others' ideas to create an enlivened and enjoyable atmosphere.
