the inspection) for the event will receive a one, the second best time will receive a two etc. The
team with the lowest cumulative score will be the winner. The results of the inspection will be
included in the total score. See the annex for each event for specific event rules.
b. Given a tie in any event (two or more teams with exactly the same time), those teams
will receive the same score in the event (example: two teams tie for first in Dizzy Bat event,
they both receive a 1). The exception is the APFT, for which we will default to the fastest
average run time. On the overall team score, if there is a tie, then the team with the highest
APFT average will surpass the other(s).

uniform as designated in OPORD. During the competition, teams will wear team t-shirts or
