HOW IT WORKS

9 teams. 6 solo events, 4 team events. One champion. Here's how points are earned — please read this before game day.

THE BASICS

What you're competing for

9 teams of 6 compete across two kinds of events: solo events (one player at a time) and team events (the whole team together). Every result turns into points, and the points feed two leaderboards:

Teams — The main standings that decide the champion — team-event points plus the solo top-3 bonus.
Solo — Placement points across the solo events. The top 3 teams here earn the bonus and playoff priority.

EARNING POINTS — SOLO EVENTS

Individual events, placement points

Each team sends one player to each of the 6 solo events, and no player competes in more than one — so everyone gets a turn. In each event the teams are ranked by result (fastest time, longest distance, or most points) and earn placement points:

1st+72nd+53rd+34th+25th+1

The solo bonus: while solo points don't contribute to team points, the top 3 teams in the solo events each carry +1 point onto the main team leaderboard and gain playoff priority for the Tug of War and Dodgeball brackets.

Ties share the higher placement and its points; the placement directly below is skipped.

EARNING POINTS — TEAM EVENTS

Points here go straight to the team total

Tail Grab

Strategy

Two rounds of competition with independent placements (scored each round). Each tail grabbed = 1 point (2 points per tail in round 2). Placement each round: 1st = 5, 2nd = 3, 3rd = 2, 4th = 1.

Full rules

Dodgeball

Agility

Recalculated pools of 3 (based on Tug of War), each match is 3 rounds; after pool play, matches are 1-round sudden death. Opponent elimination = 1 point. Round win = 1 point. Final placement: 1st = 5, 2nd = 3, 3rd = 2, 4th = 1.

Tug of War

Strength

Three pools of 3 teams, each match is 3 rounds; after pool play, matches are 1-round sudden death. Round win = 1 point. Final placement: 1st = 5, 2nd = 3, 3rd = 2, 4th = 1.

Conditional Relay

Track

Timed event — the dashboard ranks teams from fastest to slowest and awards points by placement: 1st = 15, 2nd = 12, 3rd = 10, 4th = 8, 5th = 6, 6th = 5, 7th = 3, 8th = 2, 9th = 1.

Full rules

Watch the relay. The Conditional Relay hands out by far the biggest placement points (15 down to 1), so it's often where the title is decided.

FAQ

Quick answers

How does my team win?

Your team's score is the sum of the points it earns across the four team events, plus a bonus for a strong showing in the solo events. The team with the highest total at the end wins. Standings update live on the Leaderboard.

Do my solo results count toward my team's total?

Not directly. Solo events have their own Solo leaderboard. But the top 3 solo teams each earn +1 point on the main team board and playoff priority — a tiebreak edge in the Tug of War and Dodgeball brackets. So solo events still matter for the overall title.

Do I get to compete?

Yes — everyone plays. Each team enters exactly one player in each solo event and no one doubles up, so all 6 teammates take part. The whole team competes together in every team event.

Why is the Conditional Relay worth so many points?

It's the ultimate team test, so it pays out the biggest placement points — up to +15 for first. A strong (or weak) relay can swing the whole standings.

What happens on a tie?

Solo and timed events use standard competition ranking: tied teams share the higher placement and its points, and the placement directly below is skipped. In the Tug of War and Dodgeball brackets, ties break toward the team with solo priority first, then a judge's call.

Who officiates the games?

Every game is officiated — a designated referee runs each event, makes the calls, and settles any disputes on the spot. Their ruling is final, so play hard and trust the whistle.

When am I "out" in Tail Grab or Dodgeball?

Tail Grab: you're out when your tail (towel) is pulled, your chain breaks, or you step outside the shrinking border. Dodgeball: you're out if a thrown ball hits you below the neck before it bounces, or if an opponent catches your throw (which also brings one of their teammates back). Tail Grab runs on the honor system — call yourself out.

Where do I find scores, schedule, and full rules?

The Leaderboard has live standings, the Schedule has event-day timing, and the Rules page has the full rulebook for every event.

Do I need an account?

No. Everything here is public to view — just show up and compete. Only the organizers sign in to record results.
