Zero score and four years ago the founders of F3 Naperville brought upon a new type of pain to the PAX in the form of Lincoln Games. Lincoln Games’ goal is to help push PAX out of their comfort zones by pushing their limits; encouraging them to explore different A/Os in the region; and interact with other HIMS.
The SLT of F3 Naperville will select 15 to 20 HIMS which will each lead their own group of PAX. The region will then have a draft of all of the PAX who will participate into each group. The Weasel Shaker will communicate with Group Leaders on how points are recorded throughout the week of Lincoln Games.
The winning team will receive bragging rights for the year and their choice of drinks from the reward pool.
Participants will tell their level of commitment via a google survey at https://bit.ly/LG24-HC by April 27. This will be sent via Slackbot and posted to social media.
The Draft Will Take Place at Mistwood Golf Dome in Bolingbrook on Sunday April 28, 202 at 5:00PM. If you can’t make it in person, The Draft will also happen on the Lincoln-Games-PAX-2024 Channel in the F3 Naperville SLACK Workout Place..
Pax will have the option to buy a team shirt from Front Line Gear when they tell their level of commitment to Lincoln Games. The deadline to commit is April 27.
Q signups will open on a date to be determined.
Lincoln Games will take place from Monday, May 13, 2024 at 12:00 AM through Saturday, May 18, 2023 at 11:59 PM.
Countdown to the Draft!

NOTES
You are only allowed to complete each Power event one time per week.
i.e. If you do 13.1 miles on the Power Run you only score 10 points. If you want to score the other 3 pts for the run portion of the daily 4, you would end up running a total of 18.1 miles that day for 13 points total.
The Daily 4 and Power Events must be done in one attempt, one shot.
In other words, there is NO SPLITTING UP distance. I.E. If you’re planning to bike 15 miles, you can NOT do 10 miles in the morning, 5 in the afternoon. It must be done in one attempt, one shot.
All fitness events are to be held outdoors.
This is F3, not Orange Theory or Peloton, etc.
A Run Club is a post and does NOT count for a daily 3 activity.
I.E. Tuesday at the Outpost is Run Club which is worth 5 points, you can’t double dip and get 3 points for running 5 miles during Run Club too. These are separate activities.
All evidence goes to your captain.
Running, biking,and rucking routes. Video of the 10,000 LBS moved. Registrations for FMSC and Frontline and anything else that is documented for points goes to your captain.
Downrange AOs
Posting at Downrange AOs counts for standard attendance points. Qing at Downrage AOs does not count toward point totals. REMBER For your points to count at least two posts must be at a Naperville AO!
