J!NX Real Life Events
Believe it or not, from time to time the J!NX Crew will actually leave their gamer dungeons and venture out into world. Don your darkest sunglasses, slather on the SPF 45, and join the party as they artfully avoid social situations and direct personal contact in search of phat lootz.

Step right up! Introducing the J!NX Carnival-Style 2v2 PvP Arena! You and a teammate will compete against two opponents in a competition of skill, wit and luck. Think you have what it takes? Read on, brave combatant!
*ALL RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE
You and your teammate must defeat your opponents by scoring more damage than they do in 15 seconds in this carnival-style game.
Combatants will compete by tossing beanbag sacks into the holes on the target boards. The BIG hole on the target boards counts as one damage. The SMALLER hole is worth two damage. Each player gets a bucket of sacks to throw at the holes. The WHITE sacks (“Normal Sacks”) are worth normal damage. The RED sacks (“Critical Hit Sacks”) are worth double damage. The GREEN sacks (“Class Sacks”) have different functions depending on the class you select.
- Each player will have 15 seconds to throw their sacks at the holes on the target board. One player from each team throws first, then the other player from each team throws second. The team totals will be calculated and the team with the most accumulated damage wins!
- Any sacks thrown must leave a player’s hand by the end of the 15-second limit.
- Players must throw from behind the "WHITE" line unless this is altered by a particular class ability.
- Players may lean over the line, but may not step over the assigned line, even after a toss. Any crossing of the assigned line will forfeit all affected tosses.
- Any intentional throws at any referees will result in immediate disqualification and removal from the arena playing area.
- “Winner stays on.” The winning team will remain in the arena and challenge the next team in line, with prizing based on longest winning streaks. 10 wins max.
- A tie results in a Sudden Death round of one selected player from each team throwing four Normal Sacks in 5 seconds. The team scoring the most damage wins. Tying in the Sudden Death round will result in both teams losing.
- Prizing is based on the number of games won consecutively.
- Upon leaving the arena, you are welcome to get in line to play again, but streaks reset back to one when you start a new session.
- All prizes are available while supplies last
