Want to increase your odds of walking away with a prize? Teams of up to 5 members can be created by submitting a team roster. The top 3 finishers on each team will be scored cross country style to determine your team's overall score. Cross country scoring is determined by averaging the final place standings of the top 3 team members. Each participant must complete an entry form indicating their team name. Complete team rosters must be submitted by the team captain. All mixed teams must include at least one male and one female on the roster.
