Background story
Achilles vs. the Tortoise is a famous paradox of Zeno of Elea. In the paradox Achilles challenges a Tortoise to a footrace of 100m. Achilles graciously offers the Tortoise a head start of 50m before starting the race himself. In the paradox, however, as soon as Achilles catches up to the Tortoise’s 50m head start, the Tortoise has moved on to a new spot farther ahead. Achilles now closes this smaller gap between him and the Tortoise, but as soon he closes this gap, the Tortoise has moved ahead again. Thus in the paradox, Achilles is never able to catch up to the Tortoise, since the Tortoise will always have moved an ever-reducing distance ahead from where it was before, despite what our commonsense of reality says in opposition.
Description
In this Achilles vs. the Tortoise race mode, we will pick teams as we normally do for Sunday Races. There will be a captain selected to be the Tortoise team. This team gets first two picks. The Tortoise’s team’s healer must walk throughout all of Waves 1-10 - the Tortoise’s team’s healer must have their sprint turned-off. The Tortoise team cannot duo heal. Much like the paradox, the Tortoise team will be given a 4 Wave head start. When the Tortoise team begins Wave 5, that is the cue for the other teams (Achilles teams) to start in Wave 1. Normal race rules apply to the Achilles teams - Achilles teams’ healers may sprint. The object of the all teams is to finish Waves 1-10 first. The team that finishes first will receive a small prize.
Rules
- The healer on tortoise team is NOT allowed to run
- Duo heal is allowed
- Tortoise teams gets TWO first picks.
