Details
How it works
Participants are divided into groups of 20-25 people. Each group is then split into teams of 4-5 people each to compete in a round robin tournament of several challenges. An optional Grande Finale Challenge can be included where all teams compete together to determine the winners.
Your Program MC coordinates timing with each group rotating to a new challenge every 20 minutes. Teams earn credits at each challenge station, with victory awarded to the team earning the most credits overall. Credits can be awarded for speed, teamwork, creativity, or just because.
