At each practice, the team’s participants, made up of a mixture of students and community members, clip into scoring wires and pair off to begin matches.

The club also takes part in tournaments, most recently traveling to Spokane and hosting team competitions in Moscow, under the direction of club president and undergraduate student Kyra Young and coach Duncan Palmatier.
