Competitive Geek Sports: Cabling

Are you a sysadmin with nimble fingers and a competitive streak? Cabling may be just the "sport" for you.
The goal is to detangle wads of Ethernet cable faster than your opponents. And as this Boing Boing TV video shows, the action can get pretty intense.
Why should green geeks care? Tidy cables are earth-friendly cables. Organizing them is a good first step toward heavenly network cable runs.
And admit it, I know you're just dying to try that "Fierce Data Cloud" move (pic above) on that pile of CAT5 that seems to grow every time your back is turned. I can't guarantee that it will earn you an audience with Xeni, though.
