Q vs Q 2024

Leave a comment

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!

Feb 28th : Preview Week
March (weeks 1-4 on Wednesday’s)
April 3rd: Finals

Q School – 2024

Leave a comment

One of F3’s core principles is that our workouts are peer led on a rotating basis. Leading a workout is one of most fundamental pieces of getting the full F3 experience. By developing and honing skills a Q you in turn, are developing as a leader. With that in mind coming soon to the Stockade we will be hosting the first Q school of 2024.   Q school will look to hone workout skills that any Q would use like calling cadence, setting routines, and planning on how to wrap it all up in 45 minutes. Whether you are a seasoned vet or still in your rookie year it’s always good to learn new things and push yourself. Hope to see you all there!
