Teams must submit their roster, signed waivers and registration fee to receive full Corporate Cup benefits, including Y membership for Title and Silver Sponsors. 5.

Female participant numbers listed are minimum requirements; participant numbers are maximum. A team may enter an event with more females than the minimum noted, i.e., any event may consist of all female team members. Team Tent Village Area Teams can put up a tent on the west side of the park (near N Elm St) as a home base. We encourage tents to be decorated to show company and team spirit.

3 Substitutions & Scratches:. The use of substitutes is intended to make participation possible in the event of illness, injury or no-show on the part of a team member - not to gain an advantage.. Teams may substitute only with those individuals listed on their final roster as a team member. Minimum female ratios must be observed. 3. A substitute must not be used for more than two () athletic events. A violation of this rule will result in disqualification from the event in which the substitute is used. The four-event maximum must always be observed. 4. All substitutes must be declared to the event judge, 0 minutes before the start of the event. 5. Teams or individual team members are allowed to scratch from any event before the start of the competition, but the right to score points is forfeited. 6. The same team members who qualify must also participate in succeeding rounds or heats. In the case of a serious injury, the Corporate Cup officials may allow a substitute. Protests:. Protests affecting the eligibility of any team member to compete shall be made in writing to the Corporate Cup Committee.. Protests are to be made to the Committee in the following manner: a. If there is only one heat or round, the protest must be submitted in writing within 0 minutes after the event in which the alleged infraction occurred. b. If there is more than one heat being run, the Team Captain must register the complaint with the official before the start of the next heat of the event. A written follow-up must be completed by the Team Captain and submitted to the Committee within 0 minutes after the event in which the alleged infraction occurred. 3. Decisions of the Corporate Cup Committee are final. 4. Teams shall be limited to one () protest during the competition. Rule Changes: Rule changes will be considered only if they eliminate an unfair situation or encourage participation. A rule change must be approved by the Corporate Cup Committee. The Corporate Cup Committee reserves the right to change the rules of an event as needed. ONE FINAL WORD - Participation vs. Competition: The primary purpose of this event is to:. Promote healthy lifestyles and health and wellness in the workplace.. Foster fellowship among employees from all levels of the corporation structure. 3. Encourage company pride through friendly competition. All teams and team members are expected to conduct themselves in keeping with these goals. Profanity and un-sportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated. It's easy to become over-zealous and lose perspective in competitive situations such as this so it is imperative that everyone be reminded, as often as necessary, that our primary purpose is fitness, friendship and fun.

This person must be indicated on CEO Eligibility Form. Any clarification should be directed to the Corporate Cup Committee. The intent of awarding points for CEO participation is to encourage management participation and support of their competing teams. We feel that the company will then experience greater overall event excitement and higher participation, which will improve the overall quality of this experience. We do not intend to penalize or give advantage to any team or group. REQUIRED PAPERWORK. Teams are required to submit certain paperwork to the Y in preparation for the event: Entry Form, Signed CEO Eligibility and Participation, Team Roster with Signed Waivers, and Team Grid.. Teams have two paperwork deadlines (see event calendar). Teams will receive 3 points added to their score for meeting all paperwork deadlines. The intent of awarding points for meeting these deadlines is to minimize staff time spent requesting information from teams, thereby allowing more focus on creating a high quality event experience. VOLUNTEER PARTICIPATION. Teams will receive additional point to their score for every volunteer that participates in the Corporate Cup up to 3 volunteers. The intent of awarding points for volunteers from companies is to participate if not wanting to or are unable to compete, thereby allowing more team building/camaraderie.
