Other Polices: Minimum Athlete Requirements •
Minimum Not Met: in the event the minimum number of athletes or teams are not met in a subcategory, they will be moved into the preceding ‘like’ FD or Hybrid subcategory. We do not merge FD or Hybrid subcategories together . If the minimum requirement is still not met an exception will be made allowing the merged subcategories to go ahead and compete.
• Forfeiting: if an athlete elects not to run because they are being merged into another subcategory, they can inform the Timer of their decision to forfeit the event.
• Over Age 40: If an athlete in an ‘over’ age 40 subcategory is moved down into a division, they will be placed into the division that best aligns with their run time.
• Record Holder Programs: in the event an athlete and/or team is moved into a lower age subcategory, they are still eligible to earn State, Region, U.S., or World Records in their actual age bracket category.
• Single Competitor: if an athlete is the only one competing in their division or subcategory, they must still qualify and compete in the final. MAXIMUM TIME TO COMPLETE THE COURSE The TFT® Firefighter Challenge Championship Series has a maximum time that athletes and teams must complete the challenge course in all categories. This policy is for the safety of the athletes. Athletes or Teams that exceed the allowed time will be disqualified . When disqualified, for purposes of safety, the athlete(s) must exit the course.

NOTE: Continued progression on the course must be achieved by all athletes. Officials have the authority to remove an athlete from the course when progression stops, a possible health crisis occurs, or at their sole discretion if becoming concerned about an athlete’s well-being INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY OVERVIEW
In the Individual Category, an individual athlete runs the entire Course in full turnout gear with SCBA while ‘on-air’ (health protocols permit- ting). Athletes will be placed into the appro- priate division and subcategory based on their age, gender and run time. The Challenge provides athletes with a 3M™ Scott™ Fire & Safety issued SCBA and mask to use during the competition. This must be worn by all participants and cannot be substituted by the athlete (see mask exception under turnout gear regulations).
