I didn't bet, because I could not bring myself to root against any of these teams, but the composition has cleverly spread out the perceived advantages and I appreciate that.

Also a special shoutout to Tara's "That's what losers say", and Clayton's "Rolling around in the dirt, playing Kan Jam. God I wish that were me." 😆Outstanding.
Pat, predictably, is the "bad boy" of Kan Jam. Some say he is unsportsmanlike, I say passionate, the results speak for themselves.
The Polygon staff are only allowed outdoors these days if supervised by at least one member of the Secret Base folks, after repeated dubious interactions with nature

From 9/11 to jizzbees. I'm not even halfway done with the video and it has already been a rollercoaster.
I feel like the biggest dunk in this video was by Tara, on Simone's frisbee skills!

This is the most delightful thing i have ever seen on this channel, partially because of how much of a departure it is from the Polygon norm. It is so special to see these nerds outside their native habitat, like a delicate hothouse bouquet wilting riotously in the midst of the supermarket bakery aisle. I'm thrilled with the outcome, too; what magnificent teams, what a moment of triumph. A rare and absolute gem of a Camp Event for these indoor Polygons.
I love Petrana's commitment to the Twilight pitching method

Jenna should've tried it too tbh - Simone
I just finished the semi-finals, and the dance-clasp-spaghetti mess of handshakes after each round really show the good sportsmanship of the Polygon crew. Pat can't throw his hat down if he's shaking 4 other hands at once.
Genuinely expected Patches to just beat up Pat at the end

had to hold him down
Can't believe Pat managed to catch the golden snitch
I helped out at a Field Day for the local elementary school and they had the Kans for this, but nobody knew the rules. It was somehow decided that the purpose of the person near the Kan is to prevent the frisbee from getting inside. Unsurprisingly, this was a very easy role for the children.
7:23 Pat's stance makes him look like the protag in a Kan-Jam sports anime. The foot position, the seriousness on his face... Anime Pat appears again.

Played this for the first time at the summer retreat at work this year. Imagine a bunch of middle-aged librarians flailing jizzbees all over the place. We were so bad we finally houseruled that the receiver could pick up the Kan™ and try to catch the frisbee with it
I like how out of all the sports commentator styles, Tara and Clayton chose the soft mutter of golf.

kudos to Tara and Clayton who provided some amazing commentary, really carrying this whole amateur tournament here
My "Petrana on Overboard" prayers were finally answered!! Also, I know it was joked upon, but the teams with tall people/bigger wingspans for dunks truly did clobber the shorter-people teams... RIP Thank you so much for more Camp Overboard!!!! ♥♥
Damn,y'all did two things that i never excel at in life. Being attractive and touching grass. Very cool.

We always played where if you get it through the top that's 4, and only aj instant win if you "slot" it. Because some of us could whip it in a way to hook it down into the top.

"It is what it is. This is sport." -- Simone
"new strategy: throw it to me" followed immediately by Simone launching the frisbee into uncharted waters is comedy gold
Pat just wanted the game to be over fast so he can go home and sit in a tub of ice, still wearing that gd flannel
Patches: Oh man theyre a lot of flies around m- Simone: YES!!!
Can't wait to see a video by Pat on how wrestling influenced the game Kan Jam, and how it informed his play style.

I'm so glad Overboard is back, I needed more suggestions for Game Night with my friends
"It certainly seems that there is a curve of some sort on the frisbee, but only when Simone is throwing it." A great line, expertly delivered in golf (or Dog Show) announcer monotone. Love it!
Pat is a national treasure
I missed seeing Tara, she was always hilarious
every time clayton mispronounces sable, i die a little. clayton needs to answer to my life insurance claims
Ahh....The "Touch Some Grass" series...😎
guys I can't get enough of you guys just hanging out and having fun, thank you guys so much for this!!!
Secret Base is a crossover I didn't know I needed. Now we need someone from Polygon to guest on a Fumble Dimension episode.
Loving the soft golf/tennis commentator voices Tara and Clayton have employed
As a lifelong Buffalo NY-er I love seeing people spread KanJam around! It’s a great lawn game. Never thought I’d see Polygon playing it!
Pat's reaction to Simone yelling "it's 9/11" is everything
Tara's comment after Simone's throw at 13:16. Im dead xP lol
If they played Surferball than Kofi's team would have definitely won.
Loved this video. That last play there at the end for the win was shocking. Was not expecting such skill...
Camp overboard is it's OWN MINI SERIES?? Hell yes
If Simone had something going for her, it was consistency. Had she thrown every Frisbee with the intent to hit the camera on that first game, who knows how close she could have gotten to the can... Of course it could all be a lie, for all we know, after all we were only shown the "most interesting shots"!
saved these for a bad day... and the bad day came. brb, adding +1 to every overboard video because i love these so much
Shout-out to the guy in my class who pretended to have invented this game for a project in High School P.E.
This was so wonderful and charming to watch! Good job to all the teams, well done!
I unironically love everything about this. Well done!
This is the last thing i expected, but im so excited for this
I love this miniseries so much!!! I would also pay to see the full, unedited tournament, it looked like so much fun!
I love board games but I also love you all shaking it up from the norm. I'm here for it!
I clicked on this video expecting chaos and boy did y'all ever deliver. What a victory!
a) who drew the lil animal team icons? b) who drew the animal shirt designs? c) can i PLEASE give you ALL OF MY MONEY in exchange for a pangolin team shirt? thank you this was a delight to witness! Pewter Pangolins will always win in my heart

This is so good! I love that Petrana is in it, she's super awesome always! I have a normal amount of respect for her and Jenna
this definitely fits into weird polygon content. in a good way
I'm enjoying the overboard resurgence!
I have so much love for the editor who deiced to make sure the sponsor graphic was on screen during the jisbee bit. Target may have paid them to go outside, but Polygon chose to run.
oh this is an absolutely lovely spin on the overboard series!!!
just the other day i was thinking "do people still play kan jam?" the answer is apparently yes.
This was so fun to watch. I don't think I've ever seen people plan Kan Jam sober before. XD
this is the western new york representation i've always craved
please make this a monthly video PLEASE!!! i want a polygon kan jam league!!!! i want contentious rivalries and underdog upsets!!!! edit: a traditional kan jam beat down is VERY funny
that was quite contentious! haha also loved the whole sabble/sable deal
Looking forward to the underdog story of next year: Rise of the Gold Golins
My experience with sports like these is having fun while losing spectacularly, so go Pewter Pangolins!
Would love more of this
Kanjam is a staple of family bbqs for me, im excited to see how the gamers do at it!
Honestly what we all needed this summer
This commentary was delightful
Come on and jam, and welcome to the kan! ...wait no
YEEEEEEES more overboard YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! this was such a fun episode, i adore the matching custom shirts for the teams, it's so cute. also when the score went to 9/11 i had the same delayed OH SHIT response. god i love overboard
Yall featuring Kofie the day after I decided to catch up on the last year of Fumble Dimension is some good timing.
oh how I love these series
Gah you're making me miss these group summer games, ahhhh Great game, graet commentary!
A truly impressive display of KAN JAMMERY!
I am late but God is this fun and I'm glad too see everyone having fun, we love to see it
