Youngest Member Policy : This rule does not apply to the Jr. Firefighter / Explorer program. Participants in the Jr. Firefighter / Explorer program are permitted to compete on adult teams, but adult teams are not allowed to compete in the Jr. Firefighter / Explorer division, as this would create an unfair advantage over authentic student participants. TEAM NAME POLICY: A FD Showdown, FD Tandem or FD Relay team must name the team using the legal name of the FD, i.e., City of Brilliant (AL) Fire Dept. If registering more than one team in the same subcategory, each team will begin with the same city department name followed by a unique identifier selected from our dropdown field, i.e., 1, Blue Team, A Team, etc. Class System: During our annual World Challenge event, all FD Showdown, FD Tandem, and FD Relay teams are segmented by either Municipal Department or National/International Department. See page 39 for more details. The following are the subcategories we offer except for our annual world challenge event where we further segment our age groups in the Individual and Tandem categories into five (5) year increments.
