Introduction
Prep
Goal was to have one of the most challenging convergences held in the nation. This would require a team. A team of HIMs that provide beatdowns that are talked about for days/weeks/months after they are held. HIMs that are willing to sacrifice for the group. HIMs that are put in place to keep Tonka on track. House Arrest, Hootie, Wine in a Box, Handy Manny, Blues Clues, Appletini, Parks and Rec answered the call.
Weeks of fine tuning the beatdown led up to the day before and the…
Preblast
One year ago we were in the middle of a shutdown that lasted 61 days. Shovel flags remained stored and PAX used basements and garages to maintain.
Since then we have opened 2 new regions, 2 new AOs, raised over $12K For local charities and have welcomed 350 FNGs. Our acceleration has been unmatched and there is NO STOPPING US NOW!
For tomorrow 6 of F3Naperville’s toughest Qs have orchestrated a beatdown that will be talked about for years to come. Leave your coupons at home, be prepared for all surfaces and one last thing @channel Lets Gooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Arrived at the AO around 5:14. 20 some odd guys are there for early IL. Scoped out a few scenes and assisted House and Hootie with final setup.
Quick meeting with the IL site Qs and we were ready to roll.

Blue Clues Spring Paining (counted towards scoring)
This is a contest that rewards speed. The Team with the MOST PAX to complete all 4 Diamonds in 10 minutes wins the most points. (6 most possible) I test this today and it’s possible for some PAX to either not finish all 4 Diamonds and for other PAX to finish 4 if not more for a rinse and repeat back down to 7 Squat Jumps in 5th Diamond, etc. Bringing a wiffle ball bat and wiffle balls. If I hit a PAX as they are running around the diamond between bases, EVERYONE has to stop and do 1 Penalty Burpee. This will slow the whole Team down so keep your head on a swivel.
1st Diamond – 7 Reps at each base (Squat Jumps)
2nd Diamond – 14 Reps at each base (Windshield Wipers)
3rd Diamond – 21 Reps at each base (Knerkins)
