ULTIMATE FIREFIGHTER

Competition Format

Team competition is an individual, timed competition comprised of four (4) competitors to a team. Each team must complete all 4 stages, but each competitor will compete in one of the stages only. The sum of the individual times will be the team time and will determine the result of the competition. If a team member fails to complete his/her stage, the team is disqualified. Entrants may compete in the individual and/or the Team Event.

EQUIPMENT & REQUIREMENTS: The Ultimate Firefighter Event is a 3-day competition. The first 2 days will be for individual competition. Day 3 is for the Ultimate Firefighter 4-Person Team.

Retired firefighters without equipment must contact the Main Accreditation Center (MAC) prior to competition to arrange for turn out coat and helmet.

The Ultimate Firefighter competition is comprised of 4 consecutive stages. The stages are:

• Stage 1 - Hose Task
• Stage 2 - Weight & Strength
• Stage 3 - Obstacle Course
• Stage 4 - High Rise.

In all events, each competitor will have one attempt at each stage. Failure to complete all 4 stages will disqualify a competitor or team from the event.

INDIVIDUAL: In the individual event, each competitor will complete all 4 stages (in one day). Awards will be made based on the best combined times for all 4 stages.

4-PERSON TEAM: Each team member will attempt only one of the 4 stages. A team must complete all 4 stages. If a team member fails to complete his/her stage, the team is disqualified. Team score is the sum of the times for the team members’ specific stages. Team Captains need not declare what stage each team member will attempt prior to the Mandatory Meeting.

POOLED TEAMS: Any eligible competitor interested in participating in the Team event (only), but without an established team, may enter the pool for draw for a team. As placement cannot be guaranteed (“odd-manout”), such applicants must also be entered in either the lndividual UFF or in another sport in the Games.
