1. The captain registers their team to compete ahead of time, and communicates changes to the event judge
2. The event judge will set up scoring for both individuals and the team for the round of competition.  The event judge will review the rules with the competitors, and then will signal the start of the competition.
3. Scoring points – points awarded for the event include: best individual and best team – 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.  Point are used to determine who has won an event both individually and as a team.
