according to the following criteria: Any objects may be juggled, but
contestants will not be allowed rest breaks. Contestants will be
eliminated as they drop an object.
Record-setting efforts in other categories will be submitted to Guinness as well. Entrants in the 60-minute Juggle-a-thon main event have solicited sponsors to pledge donations to Cerebral Palsy for each minute juggled. Prizes will be awarded to contestants collecting the largest amount of pledges. |
