Introduction
PreBlast Two Wolves 9/1/2022. This will be the final installment of the Alpha Wolf Summer CSAUP Competition. Has the EC timeframe kept you out of the competition in the past? If so … no more excuses. This time the CSAUP course will be built into the beatdown. Everyone will get a chance to go through it and put up their best time. Top score wins it all! Ringworm was the round 1 champion. HHGregg took round 2. Who will win out the finale and become the Alpha Wolf!?

Adapt and Overcome.
Sometimes it is hard to look at something you have set in motion and realize that it isn’t going the way you had hoped. But it is ok. It is ok to make adjustments…tweaks…to improve or come up with something better.
A few months back Blues Clues challenged all of the AO’s to come up with a cool summer CSAUP event. Very open ended. We set on our path to come up with something utilizing the ninja course. After a few brainstorming sessions we decided to come up with a three round CSAUP, with each round getting more difficult. We ended up with about 12 PAX or so for round 1 but quickly lost steam. Round 2 was tough. We had maybe 4 PAX attempt the course. How can we make this better? We started with changing the format of EC versus a post. A lot of PAX may not want to make the trip out to an AO even earlier than normal to get their asses kicked before a beatdown. So taking a page out of the Outpost’s CSAUP, we decide that the Alpha Wolf Finale would be part of the actual post. Now if people HC they don’t have a choice but to compete. I feel like this worked out perfectly. We had 12 PAX run the final course today plus my Two Wolves SiteQ Team (Bronco, One Eye Willy, and myself) there to proctor. I think most PAX felt it was a good and tough course. We saw the need for change and we adapted. Keep this in mind for all aspects of life!

Ringworm technically took second overall today, but he was using his Big Boy Coupon! Something I think Damaged Goods wished he would have done. He forgot he had a regular sized coupon and when he went up for his first blockee he literally smashed his face in with his coupon from lifting it up so fast/easy! Yikes.
Alpha Wolf Results!
Round 1 Winner – Ringworm
Round 2 Winner – HHGregg
Round 3 Winner – Damaged Goods
Overall Winner of the Alpha Wolf Summer CSAUP Competition – White Rabbit! (Completed and scored near the top in all three rounds!)
Final Standings:
- White Rabbit
- Ringworm
- HHGregg AND Damaged Goods
But you are all Alphas in my opinion! Nice job out there men! Thanks for the idea and the push Blues Clues!
