How does scoring work?
Each athlete will be assigned a judge at the start of their workout. This will be their judge throughout all workout stations. For each workout station, you will be awarded points based on your ranking within the entire singles or doubles division. The goal is to accumulate the lowest total score by the end of the event. For example, if you place 1st overall in the Wall Balls station, you will receive 1 point. The higher your rank, the fewer points you earn, and the participants with the lowest overall score wins. In case of a tie, the winner will be decided by the total distance accumulated in the run, ski, and row exercises.
