What does this mean? A few rules are going to change - so get ready now!
3K Beach Run:
ALL TEAMS MUST ENSURE AT THE START: The CADET CLOSEST TO THE START/FINISH LINE in the front of the column of cadets holding the Schedule 40 pipe will maintain the timing chip. When the starter says "GO", this cadet will be the first to charge forward, break the plane of the starting line with all other cadets holding the pipe and running behind.
ALL TEAMS MUST ENSURE AT THE FINISH: The CADET in the LAST POSITION on the pipe AT THE FINISH must be the cadet must maintain the timing chip in the column of cadets holding the Schedule 40 pipe as they cross the finish line. The electronic timing (and the stopwatch clocks) will STOP when the last cadet holding the tube crosses the finish line. Failure to maintain the RFID Chip person in the LAST POSITION on the pipe will place a 10-second timing penalty on the team.
Physical Team Test:
ALL TEAMS MUST ENSURE AT THE START: The team will select the correct Kettlebell for their team type. Their cadet holding the kettlebell and wearing the RFID chip will ALSO be the cadet through the tube FIRST (i.e., they are leading the column of cadets when the starter says "GO").
The kettlebell can be carried by OTHER CADETS throughout the course, can be swapped, cannot go in the deer sled, etc. - same rules apply as other carried item.
ALL TEAMS MUST ENSURE AT THE FINISH: The CADET in the LAST POSITION going through the tunnel AT THE FINISH for your team MUST BE THE CADET BOTH HOLDING THE KETTLEBELL AND WEARING THE RFID CHIP. The electronic timing (and the stopwatch clocks) will STOP when the last cadet holding the KETTLEBELL (AND WEARING THE CHIP) GOES THROUGH THE TUNNEL AND STEPS FORWARD TO CROSS THE START/FINISH LINE.
ALL TEAM RFID CHIPS will be turned in and collected by SNI after your final beach event for the day. They are yours to use - not to keep!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL JROTC FITNESS TEAMS!
