Which Races are Included in the Series?
 | Each registered team will consist of a
maximum of five official
members. The names and contact information for team members must
be submitted prior to the team's competing in their second qualifying race
for the 2003 season. This will allow teams who learned about the
series while attending their first race to include the points from
that race in the series standings |
| Only additions to the official team members are
permitted during the season. Teammates may not be changed or removed
from the roster |
| At least three of the five official members must compete in
a race for the team's results to count toward the team's points
total. A "wildcard" teammate not listed on your five member
roster may be included on a team for any race. There are no
additional restrictions on the "wildcard" person used in a race
where only three of the official members are competing |
| At least three of the five official team members must
be members of the Chicago Area
Adventure Racing Association. (Not a member yet? Join
online now) |
| Teams must participate in at least two of the included
races to qualify for prizes |
| The team's best 4 finishes will be included in the final
results |
| Points will only be awarded for the four person co-ed team
category (three person co-ed category will count if the race does not offer
a four person co-ed category) |
| Race lengths and points awarded will be determined based on
the finishing time of the first four person co-ed team (i.e. if the first
place team finishes in 19 hours, all teams will be awarded points based on
the 1-24 hour points schedule regardless of their finishing time) |
| Points will be based on the finishing position in
the team's class. If the race's qualifying class (four person
co-ed, or three person co-ed if four person class is not offered)
has less than 10 registered teams, points will be awarded based on
the team's overall finishing position of all teams in the race |
| The team must finish the complete, original course as defined by the Race
Directors. (Modified course finishes will only be included if all teams
entered in the race are using a modified course (i.e. event shortened due to
weather, access issues, etc.) |
| The team must finish as a complete team |
| An individual can only be registered on one team |
| Teams may only register one time for the series |
| We reserve the right to amend the rules to provide
clarification or ensure equity among participants |
