Legend

this competition was held at the Gungan Festival of Warriors. It pitted a great number of Gungan soldiers - often more than 400 - against each other in a race against the elements. There was a basic set of rules, but, in general, anything was fair. The initial stage of the event involved the competitors trying to capture bouncing gulliballs, and was known as the gulli-brawl. The number of gulliballs available was exactly half the total number of competitors, and so half were eliminated in the first round. The second phase involved placing the gulliballs in elevated chutes, and was known as the gulli-throw. Those Gungans who successfully deposited their balls moved onto the third phase, which involved a race through the ocean to the swamplands surrounding Lake Umberbool. Once on land, the racers had to reach a checkpoint and then dive back into the water from a high cliff. Once in the water, they had to return to the arena. The first Gungan to cross the finish line was declared the winner.
