AAA SCTS Team Challenge

The AAA South Carolina Triathlon Series has seen an explosion of teams racing the series. At every event we see various colors from teams of all sorts crossing the line, from corporate teams to coaching teams and regional tri club teams. It seems that nearly everyone is racing on a team these days. Ever wondered how your team compares to the other teams in our great state? Now you can find out by entering your team in the AAA SCTS Team Challenge. The Team Challenge is simple, The Fastest Team Wins!

RULES

Teams will be scored in three ways:

Male Teams
Female Teams
Combined Teams (Adding the Male and Female scores together)

All entered teams must be made up of a minimum of 10 full time team members (when men and women are combined)
Athletes may not race on multiple teams throughout the year
To be scored each team must have a minimum of 3 team members per gender at each event to be scored

Teams can score Male Only Points
Teams can score Female Only Points
Teams can score Male and Female Combined Points

Each athlete on the team will use his / her SCTS series score as the team score for that event (Example - Judy Smith scores a 9000 at the Parris Island Triathlon. Her score to be applied to the team score is a 9000)
The Top 3 male and Top 3 female scores per event will be added together and will become the official combined team score for that event
We will ALSO score teams individually per gender; so if you do not have enough women or men at your event your team can still score in the gender specific competition
Each event will be added together throughout the SCTS season and a spreadsheet will be posted to the SCTS home page showing the current standings (This spreadsheet will show team scores in the male, female and combined categories)
The team winner will be announced at the AAA SCTS Awards Banquet

BONUS SCORING

If a team has 10 or more members (when combining genders) finish an event that team will receive a bonus score of 3,000 points added to that event (for the combined team score only)
If a team has 20 or more members (when combining genders) finish an event that team will receive a bonus score of 7,000 points added to that event (for the combined team score only)
On all double distance event weekends (same day or different days) team member numbers will be combined from each distance and each gender to establish the bonus score. Only one bonus score will be assigned and will be shown in the longer distance event in the scoring spreadsheet.
