Frequently asked questions
General
This is a 2 day event starting at 8:00 on Saturday morning and finishing around 4:30 on Sunday afternoon in the Indianapolis metro area. Most of the events will be very close to each other with the swim and bicycle race being the most distant. Athletes will be divided in groups to maximize getting the most events finished but each event will get completed that day. Athletes will be able to monitor scores on their phones as each event is completed. The last event will be the obstacle course on Sunday. All athletes will know where they stand in the competition prior to the obstacle course and the top ten athletes in points will compete in the last group of the obstacle course.
We really don't know since this is such a unique event. Logistically, it will become more difficult if the number reaches over 300 but we do have a fair amount of flexibility on the scheduling of the events. The only event that we know will have all the athletes at the same time will be the last event which is the Obstacle Course. Most of the other events will be run concurrently to efficiently operate the scheduling of the 12 events. We do expect to draw from the major metropolitan areas around Indianapolis including Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Louisville.
For some events it's pretty easy to see who is best. There won't be any argument on who has the best time if they participate in the 2 mile run. Skill sports are different. There is a fairly short period of time to determine how good an athlete is in that sport. Logistically and time wise we need an objective measurement in that skill sport. We don't want to give you the actual things we'll be testing because we don't want athletes training only on that skill. For basketball we will likely to only be testing on an athletes shooting during a certain period of time but we may add a dribbling skills test too. There aren't any guarantees but we want a top basketball player to be in the top of the skills test which would hold true for soccer and other skill sports.
