Format and Rules

TOURNAMENT FORMAT: multiple rounds of head-to-head racing​​

Seeding Round

  • Round 1: The first round is a seeding round, with the results of this round used to seed each competitor in the tournament's bracket-style format.  Competitors can choose their preferred heat and lane assignment for the seeding round upon initial registration (on a first come, first-served basis).  All competitors will move on to the first elimination round.

 

Elimination Rounds

  • Rounds 2-3: Competitors will receive heat and lane assignments based on their bracket seeding and the results from each round.  During the elimination rounds each heat winner plus a set number of next fastest times will move on to the next round (with the exact number of additional qualifying times based on the overall size of the competitive field). 

  • Each round will consist of the same course with the same time limit per round.  The number of elimination rounds will be determined based on the overall size of the competitive field.        

​

Final Championship Round

  • The Championship Round will consist of the same course with the same time limit as the previous rounds, and will be composed of the top 4 athletes at the end of the final elimination round. 

  • Final podium placement will be determined solely by the results of this round.     

​

RACING RULES: traditional farthest-fastest style

  1. Competitors will have one run each round and will be ranked based on the traditional format of the most obstacles completed in the fastest time.    

  2. A competitor's run will end when: (a) the time limit expires, or (b) the competitor steps "out of bounds."  A competitor is considered out of bounds if: (i) the competitor leaves their lane; (ii) the competitor enters another competitor's lane; and/or (iii) the competitor interferes with another competitor's run in any way. 

  3. If a competitor fails an obstacle, they may continue to retry that obstacle from the start of the obstacle and in accordance with the other rules in this section.  A competitor's time will not stop at any point during their run.  Obstacles will not be reset during the run.    

  4. Reruns may only be considered in the case of interference (whether from another athlete or otherwise).  Reruns are not automatic and are subject to the head referee's sole discretion.  All other referee decisions are final and are not subject to review.
