Both the Advanced (the longer course) and the Intermediate (the shorter course) teams start off on the same course. In order to make the competition fair for both levels, there will be a “cut-off point” for the Advanced and the Intermediate Courses. Some teams pre-determine which course they would like to do in advance, but if your team makes it to the cut-off point before the set time (time will be determined prior to the start of the competition), you will be required to race the Advanced Course. On the flip side, if your team wants to compete on the Advanced Course but does not make it to the cut-off point in time, you must continue onto the Intermediate Course to ensure that you will finish the race on time that day. There will be rankings and awards for both the Advanced and the Intermediate Courses. [Course Info]
