What is the RUF Dating Game?
    Well it kinds of like connect four!
First, the RUF Dating Game is simply a friendly competition and a way to get to know some other people in RUF. The purpose of this game is NOT to help you “find love” or to make matches of couples. You are on your own for that.
    In the RUF Dating Game, "couples" will compete against other "couples" in scored competition. For example: Two couples will go bowling on a “double date”. At the end of the date, each couple will report their score (see below on how to report score). These scores will determine who advances to the next round of the game. In each subsequent round of the game, the couples will be “reshuffled” for another round of dates in another scored competition. This will continue for a few weeks until we are able to declare a male and female winner, who will each be awarded the RUF Dating Game Champions.

How does the RUF Dating Game work?
    First, Sign-up for the RUF Dating Game at RUF (Large Group) on Thursday evening at 8:00PM in Smith 102 if you are interested in playing. Sign-ups will be September 3rd and 10th, 2009.

    Once you have signed up to play the RUF Dating Game, you will be paired with someone of the opposite sex for each round through which you advance in the game. Guys will have one week to call the girl that they have been paired with to set up a time of the week to go on their assigned “date”. These “dates” will always be with another couple that is also playing the game. Each week, on a double date, you will be competing in some kind of scored competition in order to advance to the next round of the game.

When does the RUF Dating Game take place?
    Due to the weekly schedule of RUF activities, each round of the tournament will begin on a Thursday and end six days later on a Wednesday. The couples will have this amount of time to go on their “double date” and complete their scored activity. The scores must be reported no later than the following Wednesday at 5:00PM. Failure to report your scores by this time will exclude you from continuing in the game.

What are the rules for the RUF Dating Game?                                                                                                                                          
    The rules of the RUF Dating Game are as follows:                                                                   
    •    Guys are required to call the girl they are paired with to set up their double date for that week’s competition.
    •    Absolutely no single dates. Every date must be a double date with another couple. There are no exceptions to this rule.
    •    Each couple will be responsible for setting up their double date with another couple that is playing the game. Girls have the final say on who the double date is with.
    •    Every date will be Dutch. This means that on every date, both guy and girl will pay for themselves respectively. This also means that both guy and girl will meet at the place of the date in their own transportation. (No riding together to or from the destination - this will keep us from monkey'n around:)
    •    Scoring:  At the conclusion of the “date” and scored competition, each couple must email their scores to memphisdatinggame@gmail.com in order to determine who will advance to the next round.
    •    Failure to comply with any of these rules results in immediate withdrawal from the competition.
