The Q Makes The Rules

/in /by

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.

Purple Cobra – Trust and Gratitude

/in /by

Nice quiet time at the darkest of all Southwake AOs. Walked the perimeter to make sure there were no homeless people or passed out teenagers. Everything appeared to be safe, so I proceeded with the workout. Optimized the ledges, paved circles, rubber playground, and pull-up bars. On the ledges and one paved circle, completed a circuit of Step-ups 50x connected by lunge walks 75x (four rounds=30 minutes).

On the rubber playground, completed a circuit of Absolutions 5x, alternating with pull-ups 5x in three different hand positions (three rounds=10 minutes). Ended with stretching (5 minutes). Focused on every moment with trust and gratitude.

COT of trust and gratitude.
