Scoring and Awards :)

When teams race away from the start line the fun begins....

Team Warrior's bribed the mayor for an early start! Tricky!

We position Ham Radio operators around the course and at the challenge locations. As each team competes and gets their scores the Ham Radio frequencies start to buzz with numbers, call signs, and fun chatter. Scores are relayed back to the start/finish line and are being recorded through the whole event.

This also helps if we notice a team has not competed in a bit...so we start tracking them to make sure they aren't lost, or napping, or stopping for burgers somewhere!

The numbers come in to our "data dog" who compares them against the score cards that are brought back to the finish line from all the challenges.

The awards this year are:

Best Cart / Costume - This award is voted on by all at the start line at 9:45 AM. We hand out papers and everyone writes their favorite cart # on it. We tally those results while teams are racing.

Most Points - This awards is a culmination of the totals from all the challenge locations.

Most Enthusiastic - There is an "enthusiasm" category at each challenge, so this is the highest scoring team for that category.

Fastest Time - The first team to come through the finish line...pretty straight forward!

Dead Last - This goes to the team that is last across the finish line!

Each award has it's own strategy...


The point of the game is to HAVE FUN!!

See you in one week!
