Food Drive
Bring food, earn points
Every team brings a baseline of 5 lbs of shelf-stable food. Bring more, and you start your matches ahead. If both teams donate, the starting score is the difference between their bonuses — so a +5 against a +2 starts 3–0.

|---|---|---|
| 10+ lbs | 2 different food types | +1 |
| 20+ lbs | 3+ different food types | +2 |
| 40+ lbs | 5+ different types | +3 |
