RECORD HOLDER PROGRAM The TFT® Firefighter Challenge Championship Series offers four (4) record holder programs for athletes: State, Regional, National, and World. • Each program recognizes the athlete and team with the fastest time in the applicable subcategories. Record holders receive a commemorative patch and an electronic certificate. • Record holders retain their title until it is broken by another athlete.
State Record Holder Program Recognizes athletes in the state where they are a resident of. In any case where an athlete qualifies in multiple states, they must select the state to represent during a season. This information can be relayed to the Timer. Earning a State Record Example: Athlete John is a resident of Oregon and com- petes at a sanctioned Challenge event held in Florida. If John’s finish time, in his subcategory, is faster than the current recorded time of an Oregonian in that same category/subcategory, regardless of where the record was earned, John becomes the new State Record Holder for Oregon.
Region Record Holder Program Recognizes athletes in their designated resident region. Athletes can only earn these records at the designated region- al event being held in the region they reside in. Earning the Region Record Example: Athlete Sue is a resident of Utah (a West Region state) and competes at the West Regional Classic event in San Diego. If Sue’s finish time, in her subcategory, is faster than the current recorded time of any other athlete in that category/sub- category in her region, Sue becomes the new West Region Record Holder. IMPORTANT: If a region’s annual regional event is hosted ‘outside’ of the region due to a special or unforeseen circumstance, athletes will be provided details on how the record holder program will operate for the event.
U.S. National Record Holder Program Recognizes any U.S. resident athlete. Earning the U.S. National Record Example: Athlete Larry, a resident of the United States, competes at any sanctioned TFT® Firefighter Challenge Championship Series event in the United States. If Larry’s finish time, in his subcategory, is faster than the current recorded time of any other athlete in the U.S. in that category/subcategory, Larry becomes the new United States Record Holder.
