- What started as a joke in a movie has turned into the real thing.
- ESPN 8 - The Ocho will return for 24 hours on Friday.
- The concept was originally featured in 2004's Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. The Ocho was the strange offshoot that showed lesser sports.
- The real ESPN has taken the concept and run with it for six years.
- On August 5th, a full day of events will be aired, including over 14 hours of live action from Rock Hill, South Carolina.
- Competitions include Dodgeball, Axe Throwing, Pogo Stick Jumping, Wiffle Ball, Kickball, and Cornhole.
