It’s that time of year again. F3 Capture The Flag is back. It’s time for the finest HIMs of F3 Louisville to descend upon St. Matthews for a monumental game of CTF. YHC will be assigning teams via a draft.
So how does this work? To quote Kilo, the great CTF Q of ages past:
“Each pax name will be placed in a hat and pulled, one by one, to be placed on a team. There will be 10 teams in total. Each team will be assigned one of the 10 segments on the map below. For example, Team 1 will plant their flag in segment 1 on the map:
The draft will take place on Monday 7/7. Teams will then be posted in the slack channel #capture-2025 . Your presence in the slack channel will be considered an HC.
DO NOT JOIN the slack channel if you don’t plan to attend.
From the center(ish) point – Saints Pizza Pub – (131 Breckenridge) each team will be assigned a slice of the map. Within that slice, you must place your flag (Flags and maps will be handed out to designated team captains prior to event start)
Start at your Flag!
Your flag cannot be planted until the night of the event, which is where you must start. Your flag must be in a public area. It must be planted in the ground. It cannot be covered, hidden or disguised. It must remain in the original condition as when you received it. Your flag cannot be placed somewhere where it is likely to be removed, or that will put other Pax in serious danger. It is recommended that you scout your location prior to the Ruck to maximize your time rucking.
CTF RULES:
- No Pax may use a phone, GPS watch, or other device to map or otherwise track locations.
- Team must stay together!
- Meet up at your start location with your team at 6:45 pm.
- At exactly 7:00 pm, the Team Captain will take a picture of their paper map with the exact location of their Flag marked with an X. (you will need a sharpie)
- This picture must be clear and the X must indicate (Small X please), as close as possible, where the flag is located. The X cannot be so large that it does not show where the flag is located.
- The picture will hen be sent via slack to #capture-2025 , along with the Team Number associated with the map image.
At this point, THE GAME IS ON.
The Objective: ruck to as many flags as possible, taking a clear picture of the flag showing the Team Number on the tag and at least 2 Team members.
Immediately text a picture of that photo to YHC
The team that returns to Saints Pizza Pub (131 Breckenridge) by 10pm with the most pictures of flags wins.
BONUS of 1 flag will be given to the team with the most money donated to the Tunnel To Towers Foundation.
Any team that fails to return to Saints Pizza Pub by 10 pm is DISQUALIFIED.
The winning team will be MODERATELY rewarded with swag.
Our 3rd F for this event is Tunnel To Towers.
