Champion Team

Each participant will be assigned to a Roundup team that will be coached by one of the JRA board members. The teams are designed to develop team skills as well as enhance the personal experience of every Roundup participant through mentoring and peer relationships.

The teams will compete in various competitions and activities throughout the week, most of which participants can earn points for their team. The team with the most points will earn the “Champion Team” title that will be awarded at Friday’s banquet.

Rules for all competitions:

1. Points will be awarded according to the Team Point System sheet that will be distributed during the Roundup kickoff session.

2. Ties will be broken when feasible. If a tie cannot be broken, then the tying teams each receive the points for the place that they made.

Unsportsmanlike conduct includes, but is not limited to: (a) use of profanity and (b) disrespect toward other participants or chaperones.
