Each player has chosen a charity to represent.
The competition is a plank-off where each player will hold themselves in
planking position for as long as they can. When they drop, donations for their charity will stop and the fundraiser will donate all of the money earmarked for them to their charity.
Hinata and Iwaizumi came up with the idea...but they have a secret side bet: they want to break the world record for planking which is 8 hours and 15 minutes.

Ushijima: I never back down from a challenge. Plus, Oikawa said he’d donate 10,000 pesos to my charity.
Iwaizumi: That’s like 11,000 yen.
Ushijima drops a knee, eliminating himself: What? He made it sound like much more.
Iwaizumi: he’s an ass.

Iwaizumi: He’s my best friend.
Suna: *looks at the livestream feed* That’s not what he’s saying online right now. Anything you’d like to say to your husband?
Iwaizumi: No.

Suna: So Hinata, where did you get so good at planks?
Hinata: I played beach volleyball for a couple years and you need extreme core strength to play in the sand.
Suna: How long are you going to plank today?
Hinata: One minute longer than Iwaizumi.

By the 2 hour mark, it’s just Hinata, Iwaizumi and Yaku.
Hinata starts whistling as Iwaizumi lifts his arms to stretch. Yaku doesn’t move from plank position.
At the 2hr and 17 minute mark, Iwaizumi drops with a loud expletive in Spanish.

Hinata cackles as he shouts, “Weak, Zumi-san.”
He gets flipped off once Iwaizumi out of view of the cameras.
Kageyama comes over and punches Iwaizumi in the shoulder, everyone staring at him in shock.
“Kageyama, you better have a good-“

“Oikawa-san said to do that if Hinata beat you.”
Iwaizumi rolls his eyes, “Oikawa-san needs to mind his own fucking business.”
Hinata and Yaku are now trash talking in Portuguese and Russian. Donations soar.

He pulls out a bottle of vodka and starts to drink straight from the bottle. Iwaizumi grabs the bottle out of his hand and takes a swallow, coughing as the alcohol burns down his throat, “Holy shit, Yaku. How are you even alive?”
Yaku grins, “My Russian blood is strong.”
Yaku grins, “My Russian blood is strong.”
Kuroo who had shown up about an hour ago shouts, “You don’t even have a drop of Russian blood in you.”
The situation devolves from there with everyone drinking vodka and celebrating raising over 109 million yen for their various charities.
