ENTERY DEADLINE<\/strong>

Wednesday November 26, 11:59 PM Eastern Time, 9:00 PM Pacific Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY<\/strong>
Athletes who are registered to compete in the Open Women or Open Men divisions at the 2025 ACXC Championships can register to enter the RunningHotTakes 2025 ACXC Team Challenge Contest.

RunningHotTakes will organize athletes who enter The Contest into teams of four. Teams will score as usual based on the sum of the place finish of all four athletes.

The team with the lowest score wins.

Athletes can submit one teammate request.

Prizing info and more detailed rules below.

RULES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEAMS
1. Teams will be composed of a mix of athletes who are registered to compete in the Open Women and Open Men competitions at the 2025 Athletics Canada Cross Country (ACXC) Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Athletes who enter the Team Challenge Contest will be added to a contest list. We (RunningHotTakes) will create teams from the contest list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Athletes on the contest list will be placed into teams of four (4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. We (RunningHotTakes) will distribute the teams as evenly as possible by taking into account statistics such as personal bests, season’s bests, and recent results. Note that balancing the teams will require some subjective judgement by the contest organizers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Athletes can submit one teammate request (see Question 5 below). We will do our best to honour requests; however, we cannot guarantee the two athletes will be placed on the same team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. If the contest list does not contain a number of athletes that is divisible by four (4), athletes will be selected for the Team Challenge Contest in order of earliest entry date until the largest possible multiple of four is reached. Remaining athletes will be placed on a waiting list and may be added to a team in the case of a scratch (provided their addition to a team does not create an obvious unfair advantage). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCORING
1. Athletes will score based on their place finish in the event.

2. The score of each athlete on a team will be added together. Lowest score wins.

3. In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken by comparing the sum of the World Athletics points equivalent of the finishing time for each athlete on the tied teams. Highest total score wins.

3. Les athl\u00e8tes figurant sur la liste du concours seront r\u00e9partis en \u00e9quipes de quatre (4).

4.

Veuillez noter que l’\u00e9quilibrage des \u00e9quipes n\u00e9cessitera un certain jugement subjectif de la part des organisateurs du concours.<\/em>

5. Les athl\u00e8tes peuvent soumettre une demande de co\u00e9quipier (voir la question 5 ci-dessous). Nous ferons de notre mieux pour honorer les demandes, mais nous ne pouvons garantir que les deux athl\u00e8tes seront plac\u00e9s dans la m\u00eame \u00e9quipe.

2. Les points de chaque athl\u00e8te d’une \u00e9quipe seront additionn\u00e9es. Les points la plus basse l’emporte.
