"Rons Rumble Official Records/Various Information page.
History: Rons Rumble is an annual Superbowl party first hosted by Chris and Ron in 1986 while the two of them were still in high school. Initially it had no name and was a small gathering of friends.But, as time went on it grew in size and activities substantially. Games and prizes grace halftime each year and the Most Entertaining Attender award(Their version of MVP) is awarded after each party. The first party had no name. It was named by attender David Hoot named the party prior to the 2nd Rumble. It has now grown in to an entity all its own. It once was a superbowl party...now it is a party which just happens to be held on superbowl sunday...says Ron. Chris describes it as being bigger than any of us. The information on the page below serves as the official record Book of "The Rumble" and is placed here by Ron himself....it is revised each year after that years Rumble. Over 100 people have attended at least 1 Rumble in the history of the event with 34 in one year being the single year record. It was decided by Ron and Chris in 2001 that in the event of no Superbowl(strike...etc)...the Rumble would go on.

**......There was no official M.E.A. immediately following Rons Rumbles I-V. The Award was commenced in an early form at the end of Ron's Rumble VI. But, for Ron's Rumbles VI and VII the award was given on the basis of nothing more than popular consensus...without any actual vote being taken at all. Ron's Rumble VIII was the first Rumble where an actual popular vote was taken of all attenders...on slips of papers in secret for the M.E.A. Ron and Chris however went back sometime after Ron's Rumble VIII and appointed the M.E.A. for Ron's Rumble I-III and RR V
**^......Doug Brooks holds the distinction of being appointing the M.E.A. by Ron alone. The M.E.A. for that year was in dispute when Chris and Ron couldn't decide on a M.E.A. for that particular Rumble(As mentioned above no vote was taken in these years for MEA....it was an appt. at a later date by Ron and Chris). Chris refused to place a vote....and Ron alone appointed Doug. This means Doug is recognized as MEA for that particular year with just 1 vote placed.
*....The M.E.A. award was officially known as "The Terry Bam-Bam Gordy Memorial Rons Rumble M.E.A. Award" for Rons Rumble XVII and XVIII. But,the name was returned to simply "The Rons Rumble M.E.A. Award" commencing at Rons Rumble XIX(2004).
****.....The M.E.A. award will be known as "The Gerald R. Ford Memorial Rons Rumble M.E.A. award for Rons Rumble XXII(2007). It will return to its regular name in 2008.
