Unicycle Polo
Organized by the Unicycle Bastards, a group of unicycle enthusiasts in Portland, Ore., the unicycle-polo world championships pits teams against one another in a double-elimination tournament. The rule book encourages "frequent and colorful swearing," the consumption of "one alcoholic beverage prior to every match" and "urination in approved restroom facilities."
