SCORING

Scoring throughout the day will be via a 'Rank' based system i.e. lowest points wins. So if you come 1st in a workout you will get 1 point, 20th will get 20 points. 

If for any reason teams are tied on points after the heats, the tie will be broken by a count back system where the team with the highest number of 'better finishers' in the events, will finish higher. 

BROKEN EQUIPMENT DURING A WORKOUT

During a workout, if a piece of equipment a team is using breaks - i.e. ski erg/row erg etc - the team will have the option to use the replacement equipment if available and continue on with the workout.  The score will be adjusted in a fair way at the end of the workout.

We are looking forward to seeing you on the day. Any questions please email caroline@turfgames.com
