PGT-3 — Snake Pit and Two Stumps — How I’d Brief
Harder span: “snake pit” red area, two white stumps, planks shorter than the pit.
Obstacle
A marked red “snake pit” 10 feet wide. Two white stumps, one 3 ft from the start, one 3 ft from the finish — neither is in the middle. Planks are shorter than 10 ft. You must island-hop without stepping in red.

- Pit interior is red.
- Stumps are white.
- Start/finish slabs white.
Helping material & load
- Long plank (~7 ft)
- Short plank
- Rope

A complete brief (for comparison)
Steal the structure — aim, resources, sequence, roles, colour, fallback — not these exact words on the ground.
- Aim: stump-to-stump without anyone or the log in the pit.
- Resources: long plank start→first stump; short + ballie as a temporary outrigger; then leapfrog the long plank to the far stump.
- Sequence: secure first stump, move two people, shift plank, never leave the log on a single unguyed plank.
- Roles: two “island” people, two plank shifters, two on the log, one safety caller.
- Fallback: if a stump is slippery, rope-lash the plank to the stump before the log moves.
