Race traditions

Regardless of the race result, it's always been a tradition that appointment holders are given the toss in the air after the last race of each semester. Kinda like a "Hip Hip Hurray" for a job well done.

The toss usually takes place after the medals have been given out, after the looooooooonnnnnngggg debrief's over. At the go of a secret signal, those standing nearest will grab hold of the appointment holders so that they don't run away while the rest move in to get ready.

It's all a game of maths. The lighter ones get tossed higher, the heavier ones don't. Either that or more manpower is required for the toss.
