The Q Makes The Rules

32 PAX took the field and immediately felt the difference—this wasn’t standard Ultimate, it was controlled chaos with purpose. With three scoring zones per team, the game forced constant decision-making: grind for the safe 1-point end zone, thread a tight throw into the 2-point bonus box, or take a high-risk shot at the 3-point corner. Early on, teams played conservative, but as momentum shifted, players started stretching the field, launching deep shots and cutting aggressively to the corners.

Communication became everything—sidelines were loud, calling out zone opportunities and defensive switches as handlers scanned for mismatches. By the midpoint, legs were heavy but intensity stayed high, with several clutch 3-point conversions swinging the score dramatically. What stood out most was the adaptability—guys adjusted on the fly, spacing improved, and trust in throws grew as the game went on. In the end, it wasn’t just about athleticism; it was about awareness, timing, and taking calculated risks under pressure, and every player walked off knowing they’d been part of something fast, competitive, and a step above the usual pickup run.

The game was a close one but the score keeping team prevailed. 

More than a workout

FNGs: no

Warm Up: Mosey around the tennis courts, ssh, good morning, frankenstein, hillbilly, wmh, sir fazio, slo-mo merkin

The Workout:  Nothing planned , just made it up on the fly.  Ended up doing a Dora of erkins, lbc, squat/squat jumps, carolina dry docks, maybe some others I dunno.  Before we started Q shared a vague account of his life struggles and the journey that is recovery, improvement and healing.  During Dora Pax were called upon to do the same, and to counter with gratitude and blessings.

Working on the Standard

FNGs:

None

Warm Up:

Standard Warmup, including the Mission Statement, 5 Core Principals, and the 15 Penalty Burpees associated with the failure to know when called upon.

The Workout:

26 PAX this morning for a crisp April morning game of UFO.  We apparently still need to update the website to ensure the start time is updated to 0515 because we had 6 – 8 of the 26 show up after 5:15, I’m pretty sure they still owe ~15 burpees because they missed the warmup, haha.  Great work to all the HIMs that showed up, it is always great to get out and get our weeks started out right.

Mary:

Cleanup of the field

Announcements:

@finkle stepping up to take over the Nest, the mission is to Plant, Grow, and Serve.  For anyone who is part of the Grow, but not yet taken up the Serve, think about what you can do to take the next step.  Without it, the “Plant” will die.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Good Work to those that stuck around to complete the #corechallenge Day 6.

Prayer:

Fox Family, Struggling PAX both Monetarily, Family, Faith, and Health.  Our leaders and soldiers on the frontline
