Apologies for the delay as this event took place a week ago but, here it is: Another blogpost aboutTHE FIZZ Summer Games Playoffs and this time we are going to be covering THE FIZZ Hannover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nice clear day with 6 teams, 4 games and one goal: Get on the road to the FINALS in Darmstadt! Our very own Ahmad was the man in-charge who addressed the gathering and the fired up participants of THE FIZZ Hannover on this fine sunny day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 6 participating teams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>International FIZZsoccer<\/li><li>MAD<\/li><li>FIZZ\u00e9mone<\/li><li>Sons of Sun<\/li><li>FIZZ des Geldes and &nbsp;<\/li><li>Crazy Rich Asians (Literally). &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like all other series of the Playoffs, the winner of Hannover was going to be determined by the means of 4 games. The event kicked off with a small ice breaker and giving each team an opportunity to present themselves. Honestly, these guys were prepared with their intros and this moment I knew that this was going to be one spicy evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Redbull&nbsp;Rube Goldberg machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We quickly rolled into the first game, The Redbull Chain Reaction. Each team was given 30 minutes to build a Rube Goldberg machine or a chain reaction apparatus that would result in the opening of a Redbull can. The Crazy Rich Asians were a bunch of engineers, so no surprise that they won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d2de20eb1d789472a4f849c_5d1ddbc6a413313e59a14b93_CRA.jpeg\" alt=\"Chain reaction game at the Summer Games Playoffs in Hanover\"\/><figcaption>Crazy rich Asian just gliding through this challenge.

Nothing better than to drink some chilled brew and taking your clothes off on such a hot summer day and boy did I see shirts, pants, socks, and shoes been thrown all over the place. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d2de20e2be6ba1c47e30423_5d1ddc1d3bb8067934609d3a_sP.jpeg\" alt=\"Beerpong at the Summer Games Playoffs in Hanover\"\/><figcaption>All those hours in gym working on your summer body will come in handy, it\u2019s FLEX time honey!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not so easy TIC TAC TOE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third game was a classic from the archive, a simple game of Tic Tac Toe held in THE FIZZ Hannover courtyard, sponsored by Flaschenpost. However, it was not that simple! The teams were to cross an obstacle course to reach the Tic Tac Toe grid and place Flaschenpost bottle openers as their markers. The fastest and the least drunk team had an advantage in this task. Rumor has it that at this point, none of the teams was sober or fast any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d2de20e2be6ba7393e30422_5d1ddc61c65a1a1f4a8ab2d7_TTT.jpeg\" alt=\"Tic tac toe at the Summer Games Playoffs in Hanover\"\/><figcaption>\u201cit is not easy as it seems like but we can see here the smile did not leave their faces\u201d Picture Credits: Anika Zeibig<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Water Mule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth game was a real chiller, we could not name it, but I call it the Water Mule. Each team had to transport water from point A to point B; using any means possible and a bowl. Oh, did I mention that it was not allowed to walk? The water bearer had to glide over a water slide while being pushed by another teammate. I just do not know how the Student Brand Managers came up with these games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d2de20e2be6ba8d1ae30421_5d1ddcd312da5000283228d5_Wm.jpeg\" alt=\"Waterslide game at the Summer Games Playoffs in Hanover\"\/><figcaption>A bowl and mouth full of water and just pushing around.

With a very close margin, Team FIZZ\u00e9mon won this edition of the playoffs barely winning over the Crazy Rich Asians who stood in second place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d2de20eb4a76d50c03b0923_5d1ddd65abacf6d2ee86926f_won.jpeg\" alt=\"The winning team at the Summer Games Playoffs in Hanover\"\/><figcaption>The winners, FIZZ\u00e9mon!&nbsp;Picture Credits: Anika Zeibig<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shout out to all who made this event happened and a special mention to Ahmed Alzaim managed this complete event to perfection. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compiled by: Ahmed Alzaim<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>All photo rights by International Campus GmbH<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bringing you the summary of the Hannover Summer Games Playoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":5852,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[],"city":[75],"custom-author":[],"class_list":["post-28567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rewind-en","city-hanover"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28567"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=28567"},{"taxonomy":"custom-author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-fizz-old.testpage.click\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/custom-author?post=28567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
