Here are some answers to some common inquiries.
Q: When does the Pantsathon star?
A: 3 November 2008
Q:
So...uh...like how long do we wear these pants?
A: Until you quit.
Q: Wait a sec, there's a buy in?
A: It shouldn't
be that big of a deal. The buy in will be around $3 so that we can have a pot of money for the winner. I don't think that
$3 isn't asking too much. The purpose of the buy-in is to motivate participants to stay in the competition. If we have around
40 people, paying $3 each then that's $120, and who couldn't use that?
Q: Can we wear shorts?
A: Nope. It's a Pantsathon
means long pants. There are just too many complications involved with allowing shorts to be worn. Some very rare exceptions
may be made.
Q: Can I go in the rain/pool/etc to wash the pants?
A: There is absolutely no washing of the Pantsathon
pants. Scrubbing is prohibited. The extent of pants-hygiene is that participants are allowed to brush off crumbs or stuff
like that with their hands. If you get your Pantsathon pants wet via the inevitable rain/snow you are only allowed to gently
dry them off, as to remove the moisture but no debris.
Q: Do I have to wear my pants to work/chorus/etc?
A: You
have two options: You can either wear your pants (hide them under other, snazzier pants if necessary) or you can quit the
competition if necessary.
Q: Can we sew or patch our pants if they rip?
A: The only completely legal ways that you
could sew or patch ripped pants is if you are sleeping, "checking your e-mail," exercising, or getting some "pudding" while
you are mending them, or if you are wearing them as you mend them. However, patches are only allowed if you use material taken
from a different part of the pants.
Q: What is the Security Council?
A: The Security Council, made up of Anthony
Spatafora, Derek Rieckmann, and Victor V-B, basically run the Pantsathon. They collaborate to make executive decisions, such
as writing Amendments to The Rules, deciding if someone has broken a rule, and also have the power to perform random checks
at a participant's home to ensure the integrity of his or her pantsitude.
Q: How much are shirts?
A: An accurate
quote cannot be obtained until all participants have registered and have signified on their registration form whether he/she
wants a shirt and if they do, what size. Until this has happened, the cost of shirts is unknown.
