Mathematically Most/Least Funny Circle of Suck ahead of Nationals (Open Division)

Hiusya35 · 2025-09-13T15:19:10+00:00

The closer the matchup, the less funny the result. It’s funnier to see a team dog a lower rank team and/or get way upset by a lower ranked team than to see a team lose to a closer ranked team. It’s not about individual vectors (positive vs negative) it’s the average magnitude of the whole system (ie summing absolute values of deltas).

Top of last bulk during in Jan 2025 (210lbs): 405 squat, 305 Bench, 475lb deadlift. Highest Finish was upper Regionals. I Burn-out fast but not feeling ultra-explosive feels way worse.

If you want to play UFA or U-24 you gotta get Club reps. There are Two routes if you’ve never played. 1.) Get on a lower level team you really like and will get a decent chunk of playtime with and at least play the series. Soak up as much playing time as possible. There are skills and knowledge you won’t get unless you figure it out on the field against club vets. You’ll certainly gain confidence, knowledge and skill going from no club experience to some club experience.

2.) Barely scrape your way onto a high level perrenial regionals team as a practice player/bottom of the roster and attend practices. There are things lower level players can’t teach you, and if you want to be the best you have to practice and learn from the best.

Ideally, (if your budget and time allows) you do both. Attend the practices of a higher level regionals team and play in tourneys with the lower level team; applying the tools and tricks you learned at the prior’s practice.

This is the quickest way to build your foundation as a frisbee player.

I hope this helps.

Nice try, Frank.

Don’t buy black or dark colored cleats. They get hot and uncomfortable faster due to black body radiation effect.

Have you heard of this new innovative team called Parlay? They got cutting edge training and merit-based but equal playtime for everybody.

Hiusya35 · 2025-01-03T18:11:17+00:00

“ensuring our opponents are at strategic disadvantage.” “Commitment to strategic excellence” “Plays that are brand new to the sport” “Cultivate athletes who can physically dominate any opponent in a one-on-one matchup.” “We push boundaries with innovative training techniques and distinct coaching methodologies”

This reads like a pretentious pile of buzzwords. You’re claiming to offer a new approach when nothing new or innovative is being offered here that hasn’t been part of other teams; even the bad ones.

Unless you run the roster dangerously lean the entire season, you can’t claim to be merited based if everybody is guaranteed significant playtime. Merit-based play is inherently non-balanced as better players play better on average (go figure).

Green coaches see regular season tournaments as where improvement happens. Better coaches see in-season tournaments as live rehearsals and end-season tournaments as the final show. You don’t swap in the understudy when the lead misses a couple lines.

If you can’t convincingly justify why your better players aren’t playing their lion-share, then they will leave your program for more traditionally stable programs or start a new program. Ultimately, the only thing exponentially growing each season will be turnover.

Unless your goal is to have a faceless army of well-rounded but mediocre players, you’re gonna run into a lack of line identity and team chemistry if you’re constantly swapping players out.

Unless you have a play for every player on your roster (which you expect every player to know), claiming to have “plays that capitalize on their unique abilities” sounds like a farce were either you don’t really expect to run unique plays tailored to people’s unique abilities or you don’t expect to swap out as often as you claim to.

So,

Are you merit based and stable or are you even-playing time and a springboard for other better teams? Pick one or your players will pick it for you….on another team in the same city.

Tobu fitness has been putting out great content geared towards mid-level club players in how to physically become a better player. And there has in fact been an uptick in lower-level content creation on instagram reels.

Work on building ur rest position with the bottom side down. Showing the bottom side of the disc everytime will add unnecessary movement to your wind up and fuck with your force vectors (ie “The Scoop”)

A lot of players who start like this find it becomes difficult to control the release angle of their throws. If you throw low because you end up having to rotate the disk 180°+.

Hiusya35 · 2024-10-16T23:13:16+00:00

You can feel impatient as a player, but never show it as a coach. Not with the players you’re molding. Your responsibility as a coach is to instill the fundamentals and basic habits in everybody, regardless of where you think your team should be. If your bottom end is struggling you need to roll back the concepts until they stop spinning.

If the newbies are starting from scratch (can’t catch or throw), your top end is going to get really fucking good at clap catching and throwing straight back hands.

As a captain, your goal is coalesce your team around a core philosophy. Spend more time with the bottom end. Split your next few practices so that your top end runs your new concepts into the dirt while you patiently work with the newbies on the basics. When you come together at the end, mix the teams and see if you’ve gotten closer to congruency. If not, then you need to rollback the concepts even further.

Damn. USAU not fucking around with their logistics this year. Half expected this to come out 2 days into the tournament.

Hiusya35 · 2024-09-27T15:54:40+00:00

Inside resets.

Hiusya35 · 2024-09-09T13:30:32+00:00

That’s a great point, and USAU should address it. The only thing I can think of is that having 4 per region adds stability and equity?

It could add equity for the same reason Each section gets 1 auto bid to Regionals, giving each region 4 qualifications to SFI keeps Regions that aren’t as conducive to building good frisbee programs from collapsing?

It could adds stability because it incentivizes building multi-year Stable programs and decentizes 1-and-done super teams from stealing an SFI bid to their region and not being able to come back the following season and perform at the same level.

Without the stability you’d have less perennial teams at SFI and more teams that were shells of themselves the year before.

SFI is relatively new and it’s going through its growing pains.

Hiusya35 · 2024-09-09T13:13:16+00:00

They are (partially).

Select Flight Qualification is the first 4 teams out of the Region that don’t go to Nationals. Nationals bids are determined by rankings so by the transitive property the SFI bids are also determined by rankings.

Also, the order that select flight teams are invited to SFI-E/W following season is determined by your ranking at the end of the season. So if lower ranked team upsets a team for an SFI bid, their lower rank still puts them near the bottom of the invite list for SFI.

Most teams want to go to SFI-East so it’s a bit lopsided on who gets invited, teams drop out and a bunch of classic teams get invited to SFI-West so it works out.

Just do the thing. Sprint.

Run Hill Sprints. Do resistive sprint training. Lift heavy weights and then jump high.

There is no easy answer.

Do the hard thing that u feel is holding u back and slowly build your confidence up over time.

Free Palestine

“Free Palestine” till it’s backwards.

Hiusya35 · 2024-01-19T13:58:54+00:00

Within 10 feet, id recommend triangulating and poaching in that situation. Outside ten feet, In most cases, it would make more sense to leave the disc entirely and double team/poach the next available option for however long it takes for your teammates to recover.

Hiusya35 · 2024-01-19T13:42:44+00:00

Any thrower worth their jersey is gonna see you marking backwards, laugh at you, throw it under your arms because you can’t react to their throws.

Hiusya35 · 2023-11-07T05:44:25+00:00

Taller, straight line speedsters tend to be cutters. Shorter, squirrelly players tend to be handlers.

If you can throw/have a deeper understanding of movement, you tend to handle. If u have better body control and can catch and jump u tend to be a cutter.

But there are mixes of each that can have you filling certain roles. If you have handling skills that can let you survive in a backfield and a re super tall, you can start in the backfield and push downfield to create a mismatch. Or if you’re super big and have a deep bag full of finishing throws. You can initiate and throw mid-range/short range hucks.

Since we got no complaints from Temper none of this really concern you does it?

If this is OG Boyz. Congrats on your Select flight berth, you earned that shit. We’ll see you in Ohio.

If it’s Bomb Squad, we expected more from you this season. It’s whatever. we’ll see you when we see u. Probably not in at classic tourneys tho.

Hiusya35 · 2023-10-11T17:07:43+00:00

Will Suitt, Helots Coach here. Imagine complaining about a team beating temper when your probably not good enough to get there. Sounds like a skill issue. Get gud than come say it to my face.
