On this Saturday between posts I wanted to post a practice Instant Challenge for you to do with your team. This is a 'Crissy' original written to simulates those Instant Challenges that your team will encounter in a tournament setting. I will be posting challenges from time to time - either original ICs that I write or links to other sources so that you always have fresh challenges in your back pocket to pull out when you need them.
Like anything else, your team will get better at Instant Challenges with PRACTICE! As a Team Manager you should do an IC at every team meeting to help your team prepare for tournament. Try this one below at your next team meeting! And remember- email me your questions or comments at: ask.crissybuhr@gmail.com - I look forward to hearing from you!
