This year the competing Qs will split 20 minutes each. Voting will be done by the PAX in attendance in four categories based on the Q-Source V.A.P.E. concept.

Vision – creativity and clarity of your idea
Articulation – how well do you communicate this vision to the PAX
Persuasion – do you do anything to help the men move towards accomplishing the tasks set before them
Exhortation – how strongly do you encourage the men to see your workout vision through

Format
  • Traditional Bootcamp (use of gear as allowed by the site)
  • 0515-0600: 20/20 format with 5 min transition time
  • Away Q will go first/Home Q will close
Q-Source afterwards

Cyclops is hosting Q-Source post-beatdown at roughly 0615. Coffeeteria on site. Bring a mug and a chair. Make plans to stay if you’re able. The discussions are richer when you’re a part of them
