World Server Throwing Championship

NamesCon is delighted to welcome you to witness the the 2nd edition of NamesCon’s Server Throwing Championship. It’s not an Olympic sport—yet—but it does have a long-ish history.

The Ice Palace Festival Grounds

4 Categories – 1 Winner per Category

Applications to Enter Are Now Open

How It Works:

Athletes in all categories will showcase their power in front of a live CloudFest/NamesCon audience as they compete in the server-throwing challenge.

Categories will include:

OGs (over 40)
Under 40
Women’s League
NamesCon League

All athletes will have two attempts to throw the server as far as they can (at the designated space – please don’t randomly throw a server in the expo hall)! The furthest result is then recorded. The top three finishers in each division will advance to the final.

Benefits of Throwing:

A One-of-a-Kind Experience – It’s not just a competition; it’s soon to be a NamesCon tradition that brings out the best in the community! 🎉

Bragging Rights for Life – Be the person who can say, “Yeah, I threw a server further than anyone else, no biggie.” 🏆

Instant Networking Icebreaker – “So, how far did you throw yours?” is the best way to start a conversation. 🤝

Be Part of Tech History – Every champion gets a place in the legendary Server Throwing Hall of Fame (or at least on social media). 📸

Free Workout Included – Who needs the gym when you’re powerlifting old servers? 💪🔥

Sponsoring the World Server Throwing Championship isn’t just about branding—it’s about making a bold statement in front of a highly engaged, tech-savvy audience.
