I don't quite remember when it started. I think maybe S7? But since that seasons Ultimus, which saw the Philadelphia Liberty defeat the Orange County Otters, the morning after the winning team has to streak in their boxers (or briefs) from their hotel rooms and run all the way to the nearest breakfast serving location. Like a breakfast restaurant, not like hotel lobby breakfast.
There, they will find suits and ties accommodating each and every player. After they all throw these clothes on, they get 20 minutes to eat their breakfast before they are each handed an envelope with different tasks that they must do. Each envelope task is unique. One might say "purchase 20 different fruits from a supermarket" another might say "pet a cat and dog simultaneously and photo this". All of these different things require proof, that's the important part. Oh I forgot to mention everyone is wearing sunglasses.
After everyone completes their scavenger hunt style task, they all must meet at the same parking garage. The first 16 players to make it to the parking garage are qualified to participate in a tournament. The game varies from ultimus to ultimus. The very 1st time this occured, it was a ping pong tournament. There's also even been Magic The Gathering, Halo, & Rock Paper Scissors etc etc. It's a great time. Once there are only 2 participants remaining, it's usually night time and everyone then meets up at an agreeable restaurant.
Everyone chows down, and at the 2 players must take turns reading poetry that they have written to each other. The team then votes on who's poetry was the finest, and that person gets to keep the official Ultimus trophy for the year. And also money I guess. This isn't necessarily a battle, many players have won by being very complimentary to the opposite opponent and to the team. Many spectators come out to these poetry slams, and even celebrities and high rollers want in. At around S16, sports networks began televising these remarkable events.
