  • Grid League Race Programming - How we think about it
    Jul 23 2025

    Important note - this explains how we think about this currently. That said, we are constantly evolving through collaborative discussion with team owners at team owner meetings. We are always taking feedback and welcome the collaboration. Main takeaway - we are focused on the spectator experience first in movement selection, standards, and rules.

  • Is the "United" bulls**t?
    Jun 8 2025

    Believe it or not, out of the 200+ high level competitiors involved with the League... some see the world very differently than others. Some even talk smack or piss others off.

    While this is true of pretty much every sport, some in our League believe it should not be this way. After all, we are named the "United Grid League" and recently coined the phrase: "Unity is Undefeated" (thanks to an IG poll). Should that mean we only speak toward existing unitedness??

    Let's dig in.

  • The United Grid League represents a major shift for Grid League. What will be the next?
    Jan 5 2024

    There have been 4 major inflection points for the sport of Grid League.

    Today marks one of them.

    Congratulations to the team owners of past and present. Without their risk-taking, leadership, trust, and iron will to battle through adversity… none of this happens. Thank you all. Thank you to the staff who have done much of the same, and the players too. It truly is a community effort.

    In this podcast I talk about the other 3 inflection points starting with the very first post Tony Budding made announcing his vision for the sport.

    I end the podcast with what I think the 5th major inflection point will be.
