TOUGHEST COMPETITOR ALIVE

Competition Format

A team member's performance in each phase determines the number of points awarded towards that event.  The total points from all 8 phases determine the winners.

At the completion of each phase, the flight of competitors will move directly to the next phase.

In order of occurrence, the phases of the TCA/TTA/TMD events are as follows:

• 5 Km. Run (0700 hours-Start Time)
• Shotput
• 100 Meter Dash
• 100 Meter Swim 
• 20 Foot Rope Climb
• Bench Press
• Pull-ups
• Obstacle Course

100 Meter Dash, Shot Put and 100 Meter Swim will use metric measurements. Rope Climb and the Obstacle Course will use inch/feet. 

Please Note:  Shotput weights will follow a modified  WA/WMA Rules in conjunction with gender and age, including Mixed Team and 4-Person Team (see page 7).

All event phases are mandatory and must be attempted.  If a competitor fails to begin an event phase, he/she will be disqualified.  If a competitor is injured to the extent that he/she is unable to compete in the 5 Km (Phase #1), he/she will not be permitted to continue with the remainder of the TCA.

No competitor will be permitted to drop out of the 5 Km prior to the exhaustion of the scoring formula time limit unless an injury is sustained during the 5 Km.

A competitor must continue to attempt each phase in the "TCA", until the time limit for that phase is reached or until instructed to stop by an authorized official.

Team members of TTA & TMD must be pre-designated. No substitution allowed once competition begins.

An Orientation Meeting will be scheduled for the evening prior to the competition, or at another pre-approved, designated time.  Competitors are urged to attend. Information regarding this meeting shall be published in the Entry Book and the Confirmation Letter.

No gloves are allowed in any phase of any event.

No alcoholic beverage consumption will be allowed by a competitor on-site before or during the competition.

This is a long day of competing and watching others compete.  Competitors should be advised to bring food and drink.

Competitors shall wear numbers at all times (on front) except while swimming.  Prior to start of rope climb, competitors may remove shirts after presenting number to officials.
