Club Challenge

Club Challenge Explanation

Do you have the best club in the area?

Is your club up for the challenge?

Have your club enter the DQ Events Club Challenge!

How it works: To create competitiveness among the local clubs we have created a challenge to see which club has the better showing at DQ Events and also who has the better athletes. DQ Events will keep and publish the total club points. It is your responsibility to inform DQ Events of your club before the event! Is your club up for the challenge? Please inform your members and let us know that your club is participating at dqevents@dqevents.com. If your members sign up online they can select your club in the drop-down list when registering. Let us know if you do not see your club. If using a paper form please have your members include their club name on the form.

Awards: At the end of the season the club with the most points will be crowned the winner and will have the club name and year engraved on a large trophy which they will keep (Clubs must have competed in at least 3 applicable events). They will also win 4 comps into any of next years sprint DQ Events. The club with the second highest points will win 3 comps into any of next years sprint DQ Events. The club with the third highest points will win 2 comps into any of next years sprint DQ Events.

Scoring System

Placement Points

Your Club earns points based on the following finishing places in the below chart. Your Club will earn 1 point for each member that completes the event if they do not finish within one of the places in the below chart. Your Club will only earn points for either completion or placing; there are no doubling up on points. Relay Teams will earn 1 point per team that finishes the event. All Relay Team members must select the same club for this to count.
