Caber toss was an ancient sport originating on Earth in Scotland. It involved throwing a large pole called a caber in a field. In 2370, a game of caber toss was planned at the Caldos colony on Caldos. However, due to a malfunction in the planet's weather control system, rain began to fall on the colony. While visiting the USS Enterprise-D, Governor Maturin urged Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge to repair it as soon as possible, so the caber toss would not be ruined by the weather anomaly.
