ChE Palakasan 2010 Narrative Report
ChE Palakasan 2010 Narrative Report
One of the activities of the Adamson University Chemical Engineering Student Society
(AdUChESS) is the annual ChE Palakasan, where the chemical engineering students
compete in various indoor and outdoor games in order to showcase their talents in the
said various games. This activity not only promotes camaraderie among its members but
also promotes physical wellness as well as a head start for the preparation at both RSO
Sportsfest and PICHE Sportsfest.
In this ChE Palakasan, there are six teams trying to vie for the overall champion at the
said event. Those teams, better known as “units” were first organized last school year by
both the ChE Department and the AdUCheSS alumni officers in order to promote better
camaraderie among its members by removing the batch issues and disputes. The six units
are the Bleachers, Crushers, Crystallizers, Distillers, Minglers, and Reactors.
In the said activity, each unit competed in eight events which are divided into major and
minor games. The major games were the all-time favorite basketball and volleyball while
the minor games are tug-of war, chess, word factory, tail of the dragon, cheering
competition, and t-shirt design competition. All major events have a 10, 30, 40 and 50
points for the participation, third, second and first place. On the other hand, the tug-of-
war, chess, word factory, and tail of the dragon have 5, 10, 20 and 30 points respectively.
Lastly, the cheering competition and t-shirt design competition had 5 points for the
participation and 25 points awarded to the victor.
After that, the various games all started at around 10:00 am. The games were held
simultaneously so that every unit will be busy in participating at events, cheering and
boosting the morale of their players.
In chess, each unit has a male and female representative. There were clashes in a round
robin style of match in order to eliminate the color issues pertaining to the game. Every
player in the game was very serious at thinking on how to attack and counter attack their
respective opponent’s pieces and win the game. All of them showcased their skill in
careful planning on what to move, what to protect, and what to sacrifice and what to
attack in order to gain initiative and upper hand at the chess board. The men category was
won by Crushers, which has a flawless 5-0 record, followed by Minglers, which has 4-1,
only losing to Crushers, and Distillers, who has a 3-2 record. The female category was
still undetermined but so far it is led by the Reactors, which has a 3-0 record, followed by
Distillers, which has a 2-0 record.
Next is the word factory. This is like chess, which has a male and female category and a
round robin style of match in order to eliminate the luck factor in terms of juggling up the
letters. This sport showcases the talent of the players at forming words among scrambled
letters and also further enhances the vocabulary of players, officials and audience alike.
Every player fully utilize the three minute sand timer of the game in order to jumble up at
connect simple and complex words which may be not found by their respective
opponents.
The awarding for the winners will be on the ChE general Assembly- November, 2010.
