Getting Ready for Scinny

Monkey Bowl has come and gone, after only losing to one team (twice) Enigma is looking forward to driving much less for our next tournament at the end of June. Scinny is up next, in Lebanon, and this will be the last tryout tournament for the boys from Dayton. We will  play some tougher teams at Scinny, but expect to be competitive and strive to win the Golden Gnome.

Don’t forget to get your dues in if you haven’t paid yet. The $35 ($20 if you were in Dayton Spring League) pays for practice and the first two tournament bids. Also, don’t forget that we will get jersey forms ready soon. Just waiting on a sample so we can see if we want to get way cheaper subs.

After Scinny, the roster will be put together with 27 guys that we hope can help us compete at our highest level at Motown, Three Ring Rally, Sectionals and Regionals. Remember that everyone who is cut from the final roster is still able to come to practice and be a part of that. In the case of final roster players not making tournaments because of injury or other reasons, we will draw people from the practice squad to fill the gap.

A word on what we are looking for when we select the final roster:

-Skill/Talent/Ultimate IQ/Field Awareness

-Obviously we want good ultimate players who can make plays to help us win games

-Knowing how to play and act in your role

-If you don’t have a throw, don’t try it in a big game. If you aren’t an established leader on the team, maybe you hold back on critiquing teammates. Just a couple examples.

-Being a fantastic teammate

-Fun to be around, positive attitude, rowdy on the sideline...those kind of things

-Coachability

-Listens and responds to critique in a positive way, works hard at practice, etc.

We will begin rolling out some roster announcements next week. These announcements shouldn’t be shocking, and all of the major decisions will be made after Scinny.

Under a month left until we do have the full roster put together. There will be some difficult decisions to be made this year, which is something that is kind of new for Enigma. Work hard and layout, zero - zero.
