The warm temps brought out the Pax today and the mumble chatter was in abundance. We covered a good bit of the AO , including the field which was a bit soggy. The whining about getting wet in the field was also in abundance – c’mon men! Back in the day, no one would have thought twice about laying down in a wet field…….It was a pleasure to lead the group today and always the best way to start off your Saturday mornings. Thanks for the Q spot, @Uber!

Q versus Q is back for 24! This year we’re going to mix it up and it’s going to be SLT versus SLT. Each nantan has selected three other SLT members to represent their region with them. YHC will draw names for the matchups of the teams and the two nantans will face off on the last week of March. I’m excited to see how this different dynamic plays out and allows us to interact with some of the leadership from the other regions. The format will run the same as the previous years.
Each week there will be two Q’s, one from The Fort and one from Rock Hill. Each Q will have a total of 20 minutes broken up into two 10 minute blocks. YHC will lead the warm up in facilitate the crossover.
The PAX will judge each Q on three categories:
Difficulty
Creativity
Usage of the AO
The total score from all categories will determine the winner each week.
The 5th week will be the finals where we will have four Q’s, each with a 10 minute block of time. The winner of that week will be crowned the champion.
Q versus Q has been a stellar way to mix with the different regions, meet new people, and receive a thorough beat down. I hope that you will plan to join us for some or all of the weeks!
