The beginning of this week was, for the most part, normal in terms of the testing. The participants in the video game group continued to engage in battles against online opponents in Vainglory while I recorded their statistics during their matches. There was an update to the game on Monday, which many of the participants were excited to see since it meant another new character to try out as well as a new background design for the battle arenas.
However, due to the magical occurrence of rain on Monday and Tuesday, the scheduled day for Capture the Flag (Tuesday) had to be postponed since the field was too wet. Fifth graders playing Capture the Flag on a Slip and Slide did not sound too safe especially when there is a concrete ground next to the field. With the help of the equation below, I ran some numbers and decided to move the game to Friday.
Running + Wet Slippery Grass + Concrete = A concussion waiting to happen
As a result, when Friday came along, the participants were very excited to play Capture the Flag and the matches went pretty well. Here is a picture of one of the games.
And yes, I will still hold off on releasing the results of the Capture the Flag games in order to keep the suspense. You're welcome :)
