Team Divisions
MAUI JIM RELAY TEAMS
The Maui Jim Ocean Shootout will offer participants a chance to race with fellow competitors as competition teams. How it works:
- Individuals can choose to be part of a team during registration by selecting the team option IN RACE ROSTER.
- MJOS WILL ASSIGN TEAMS under designated Maui Jim team names.
- Team member composition will be announced at the MJ Ocean Shootout at check in.
- The team option is a fun and spirited way for participants to meet and compete with fellow competitors in true Aloha fashion and sportsmanship which defines the MJ Ocean Shootout.
- Team members will continue to race individually throughout the competition and as a team in the two relay races for team points.
- Individuals will accumulate points for their own personal totals via the Open or Age group divisions.
- A competitor's accrued points over the two days can also be applied in parallel to a team total points that will be tabulated throughout the competition.
- Teams MUST consist of a minimum of 5 members and be representative of all age divisions including at least 1 woman (any age).
- Teams will participate in the final 5-person First to Finish Relay and Medley relay at the end of each day.
- Top 3 teams will earn prizes awarded on Sunday evening.
- A competitor’s accrued points over the two days can also be applied in parallel to a team total points that will be tabulated throughout the competition.
- Teams MUST consist of 5 members and be representative of all divisions. For example:
Team “X” will consist of 5 members:
- One from the Open Div., one from Men’s 30’s, one from Men’s 40’s, one from Men’s 50’s, one from Women’s (any age).
- All teams will be co-ed, and the co-ed teams will compete as 5-person relay teams in both Medley Relays which will count toward a team’s points and require participation from 5 team members (1 woman).
- The top 3 teams will be awarded prizes and the winning team will be placed on a perpetual trophy that will be showcased at the Maui Jim Lahaina office.
Team relays will be the final events on both days and will be for team points. How it works.
First-To-Finish Relay (Day One)
Day one, First to Finish: Teams will choose the order of the five disciplines for their five team members and strategize who will do what discipline in whatever order the team chooses. Teams will earn team points based on their overall finish.
Maui Jim Medley Relay (Day Two).
Teams will once again strategize amongst themselves for the five disciplines but the order of disciplines will be predetermined by MJOS Staff and announced to the teams prior to the race. Team points will be awarded and this will be the finale race for the Maui Jim Ocean Shootout.
