I'm noticing a trend so far for the regional competitions and...I LIKE IT!

4. Imtiaz wrote...

Oh yeah!!!
Charmain only 4 members compete per event, 2 male and 2 female. The team is to decide which athletes compete in each event. So start working on your strategies ;-)

What is the point of having 6 team members if only 4 participate?

6. Gavin wrote...

There are 3 events for all 6 to be part of. You strategically select your strongest competitors per event.

7. Imtiaz wrote...

Having 6 team members provides cover in the event of injury, it allows the team to select their best combination of athletes per event, and it allows the team to provide greater rest periods for those athletes that need it. The 6 team member format is to your advantage.
