Each team will have six qualifying teamwork challenge matches. The final round will proceed with 2-team alliances.
Please familiarize yourself and your teams with the RISE ABOVE official rules. The GAME MANUAL is a good place to start! We also highly recommend watching the Referee Training Videos so that everyone has a clear understanding of all game rules.
With this event being planned on a very short cycle, we will do our best to secure a panel of judges. We're hoping to be able to make that happen so we can proceed with a normal judging process. More details to come!
