Regulations
Substitutions
Anyone on the Participation Roster may participate or substitute in any event as long as they meet the age/gender requirements. Substitutes for age group events must be in the same age group as the original entrant.
A valid driver’s license or other picture ID may be required for identification before a substitute is allowed to participate. Participants who are asked and are unable to produce an ID at the games will not be allowed to participate, or will be forfeited from the event.
Points
All teams will receive two (2) points for each event in which they participate.
Points will be awarded to teams placing in events as follows:
- 1st Place 10 points
- 2nd Place 8 points
- 3rd Place 6 points
- 4th Place 4 points
- 5th Place 2 points
- 6th Place 1 point
- 5th & 6th place finishers in a 6 team double-elimination events will each receive 1.5 points
- 6th & 7th place finishers in a 7 team double-elimination events will each receive 1 point.
Corporate Challenge is designed to promote teamwork within a company. Therefore, those events that require a large number of participants, Volleyball, Softball, Flag Football, and Dodgeball will be awarded double the number of points for each place.
Tie
In the case of a tie in the divisional championship standings (teams are tied for the most points overall), the winner will be declared by the team with the most 1st Place finishes. If still tied, the winner will be declared by the team with the most 2nd Place finishes, and so on. Ties in each individual event will be broken according to the rules written in the “Event Rules” section or by the Games Office.
Officials/Protests
In the case of a dispute during an event, the decision as interpreted by the Official and onsite WCC staff is final. Team scores are not official until the Games Office has reviewed them.
Default & Withdrawal
Once the schedules are set, it is exceedingly difficult to change them to accommodate teams that withdraw or default. Your opponents are geared up for their events, facilities are booked, and officials/volunteers are waiting. Please make every effort to be at the events in which your team signed up to participate. WCC Staff will release brackets at least 2 days prior to the event day, at that point, the bracket is set. If teams choose not to play after brackets have been set, they will incur a 10-point penalty. If teams no call/no show on the day of an event they will lose 20 points. Once brackets have been set, they won’t be modified or re-bracketed.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Wichita Corporate Challenge reserves the rights to disqualify, suspend, or remove any participant, captain, spectator, team, or company that conducts himself or herself in an unsportsmanlike manner before, during, or after any event or game. Physical aggression and/or verbal abuse toward other participants, volunteers, officials, spectators and staff will not be tolerated.
