With an eye toward self-competition rather than interpersonal contests, the WCFO lit its first torch in 1990. The plan, then as now, was to repeat the event at Winter Camp XV, and thence every five years until Doomsday. It is expected that future Winter Campers may compare their fitness in 1996 and forward with their past performances. The WCFO is effectively a hexathlon:<uL><li>Standing long jump </li><li>Vertical leap</li><li>Shot put </li><li>Push-ups </li><li>Sit-ups</li><li>60-yard dash</li></ul>At Winter Camp XV, confusion occurred regarding the time limit for the push-up and sit-up events. 60 seconds were allotted, twice the Winter Camp XIV limit. As a result, the records in this category include entries for both time limits. By Winter Camp Planning Committee action in 1996, 30 seconds has been set as the time limit for all future WCFO competitions.The standards for the WCFO have been defined to be the marks set at the first Olympics at Winter Camp XIV, and are listed in Table 35. The qualifying score Q represents the lowest possible achievement which enables an Arrowman to score points in the event in question. If a competitor's raw score fails to beat this standard, his score for that event is 0. The high score H represents a 100-point performance-by bettering this mark, it is possible to score more than 100 points in an event. For reference, the 50% or 50-point score is also included.<P><b>Winter Camp Future Olympics: Benchmarks</b></p> <table><tr valign=top><td>Event</td><td>Qualifying Score (Q)</td><td>50% Score</td><td>High Score (H)</td></tr><tr valign=top><td>Long jump</td><td>51"</td><td>67"</td><td>82"</td></tr><tr valign=top><td>Vertical leap </td><td>12"</td><td>15.5"</td><td>19"</td></tr><tr valign=top><td>Shot put</td><td>12'</td><td>19' 8"</td><td>27' 1"</td></tr><tr valign=top><td>Push-ups in 30 s</td><td>12</td><td>24</td><td>36</td></tr><tr valign=top><td>Push-ups in 60 s.</td><td>3</td><td>38</td><td>73</td></tr><tr valign=top><td>Sit-ups in 30 s.</td><td>17</td><td>26</td><td>35</td></tr><tr valign=top><td>Sit-ups in 60 s.</td><td>20</td><td>40</td><td>61</td></tr><tr valign=top><td>60-yard dash</td><td>15.99 s</td><td>12.98 s</td><td>9.97 s</td></tr></table><p>Final marks (M) are computed from raw scores (R) using the formula M = 100 * (R-Q)/(H-Q) rounded to the nearest integer.<P><b>Winter Camp Future Olympics: Records</B></P><table><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Event</TD><TD>Score</TD><TD>Athlete</TD><TD>Winter Camp</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Long Jump</TD><TD>102"</TD><TD>Jon Semetko</TD><TD>XXV</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Vertical Leap </TD><TD>23.5"</TD><TD>Jon Semetko</TD><TD>XXV</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Shot Put</TD><TD>27'1"</TD><TD>Ron Donohue<br>John Howey</TD><TD>XIV<br>XX</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Push-Ups in 30 sec.</TD><TD>47</TD><TD>Jon Semetko</TD><TD>XXV</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Push-Ups in 60 sec.</TD><TD>73</TD><TD>Brian Bumgardner</TD><TD>XV</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Sit-Ups in 30 sec.</TD><TD>41</TD><TD>Jon Semetko</TD><TD>XXV</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Sit-Ups in 60 sec.</TD><TD>61</TD><TD>Brian Bumgardner</TD><TD>XV</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>60-yard Dash </TD><TD>7.93 s</TD><TD>TIm Hunt</TD><TD>XX</TD><TR><TR VALIGN=TOP><TD>Overall Score</TD><TD>702 pts (5 events)</TD><TD>Jon Semetko</TD><TD>XXV</TD><TR></TABLE><p>The Future Olympics was canceled at Winter Camp XXX when the schedule for the last two days was rewritten at camp.Winter Camp Future Olympics
