Pairs of balls (one marked “1” and one marked “2” in each pair) are scattered around the field under orange cones, in baskets, etc. Each team is trying to collect either all the 1s or all the 2s before the other team gets their own balls. Often we will play several rounds of this, with the winner being the team that wins two out of three rounds. It’s an insanely fast-paced game that can turn around dramatically if one team suddenly discovers the location of their balls all at once or at a critical time.
Strategy and Tactics:
- Most teams waste a lot of time as players search the same areas over and over. Players will discover cones they hadn’t seen before only to find that their ball for that cone was already retrieved. You MUST make sure your team communicates so that you can focus as much attention as possible away from areas that don’t contain any more balls for your team.
- Keep your eyes up! The cones you’re looking for are on the ground, but if you don’t pick your eyes up more than half of the time you’ll get shot by your opponent who is looking in the same area. While the goal of the game is to discover the cones you won’t be able to look if you’re dead. Move slowly and move safely first, look for the cones second.
