You will be allowed one alternate only in the event one of your original five operators is seriously injured. We will have medical personnel on-site. If one of your original five operators needs to be subbed out\, your team will receive a two-minute time penalty on the course you are currently running or the following. \nFor example\, if your team is running the rifle course and a member sprains his/ her ankle and cannot continue\, the alternate may take his place\, and your team will receive a two-min penalty for that course. If your injured teammate finishes the course but cannot continue to the next course and you have to use your alternate\, your team will start the next course with a two-minute penalty. This includes the second day also. \nOnce a member has been subbed out and your alternate is put in his place\, he is not allowed to be rotated back in. \nThis penalty prevents anyone from attempting to game the competition and gives teammates rest when they may not be truly injured. However\, it does allow the team to continue to compete and not have to drop out if one teammate cannot continue. \nOne additional team member/department representative with the alternate may accompany the competition team to take pictures and assist with equipment/inventory between events. \nSafety Rules \n\nParticipants are subject to disqualification for violation of any rule or regulation in sections.\nMatch will be run on COLD RANGES.
