COMPETITIONS

FRIDAY

12:00 - 13:00 - High noon  - Polygon

High noon, the scorching sun (maybe, lol), Morricone playing in the background, and NERF guns strapped damn low on your waist—that’s High Noon, a series of pistol duels at Polygon. Is that not enough for you? Want to shoot some more? Then head to the NERF arena, where speed and accuracy are all you need.

1:00 PM – 3:00 PM – Best Car/Motorcycle – Round One    - Autodrom

The roar of engines, smoking exhausts, the smell of burnt tires, and GAS! The first round of the competition for the best car and motorcycle will take place on Friday at the Autodrom. The second round will then take place at the Rusthaven Closing Event.

1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. – Best Hair – Polygon

Massive braids, bangs that cover half your face, and a super-strict buzz cut. Come show off your hair in a contest that might be a little far-fetched.

3:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Pub Quiz - Polygon

Luke will put your brains to the test with a quiz on the theme "The Apocalypse: Before and After." Teams of up to five members can compete; registration isn't required—just bring writing materials and as many nerdy friends as possible.

6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. – Costume Contest – Round One – Polygon

The traditional contest to see who's the coolest. The first round is at Polygon hrom. Who will make it to the second round on Saturday?

9:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. – Rusthaven's Got No Talent – Polygon

A showcase of the biggest oddities, lack of talent, and crap… I mean, fun! Do you have some (anti)talent you want to show off at Rusthaven? Can you do something that’ll put a smile on the faces of even the toughest tough guys in the wasteland? Come on down and show us what you (can’t) do!

11:00 PM – 12:30 AM – Plush Slaughterhouse – Plush Slaughterhouse

Registration: https://forms.gle/2wS2QkR5K71ESrLj8

For years, the Nuclear Valkyries have been scouring the wastelands in search of the bravest and toughest female warriors, who are then thrown into the pit to the sound of thundering drums and the roar of a battle-hungry crowd. This year will be something special—something you can’t miss. This is the 10th annual event, and elite warriors will face off against each other in the muddy carnage. Who will be the queen of the mud pit? Well, one thing is certain: you’re in for a spectacle that will be talked about in the wastelands for a long time to come.
