RULES AND REGULATIONS

A. THE ORGANIZERS
The High School Adventure Challenge Series is organized and staged by Frontier Adventure Sports & Training (FAST). Race management reserves the right to add, modify, replace or cancel venues or events at any time. Race Management reserves the right to make changes and amendments to the rules and regulations at any time. In the event that changes are made, race management will contact all registered teams with the updates so that they may make the appropriate adjustments to their preparations for the race.

B. TEAMS
Each team must consist of three members and can register in one of three categories: mixed gender (must be at least one male and one female), all-male or all-female. All teams members must be 15 years of age or older. The team must consist of the same three members throughout the race and all three members must stay together and complete the entire course together for the team to be officially ranked. All members of the team must be in good physical condition and be of reasonable health. All team members will be required to complete a medical form to verify this.

C. REGISTRATION
To be considered a registered team, the team captain must submit all required paperwork and full payment for the race before the start of the race. If all paperwork and full payment is not received the team will not be allowed to start the race and will forfeit an administration fee of $75 CDN. If the team withdraws their registration at any point, the team will forfeit an administration fee of $75 CDN. As of two weeks prior to race day, the full registration fee becomes non-refundable. However, the balance (eg. Registration fee paid less a $75 administration fee) can be transferred to FAST event occurring within the next 365 days.
Race Management reserves the right to restrict access to the race for any team without an explanation. Entry into the race is handled on a first-come, first-serve basis only if the applying teams are approved by race management.
Race management also reserves the right to remove any team from the registered team list should race
management feel that team will not be suitably prepared for the event or may act in a way that will be harmful to themselves, other participants (including but not limited to competitors, volunteers, media and staff) or the event as a whole. In this situation the team will be notified immediately upon finalization of the decision and their full entry fee will be refunded. Note the entry fee will not be refunded if the team chooses not to compete, but only in situations where race management refuses a team from the race.
Each team must check in for registration at base camp at least 15 minutes before the close of registration on the day of the race, as indicated in the competitor update for that race. At this point, race management will verify with the team captain that all paperwork is in order. The paperwork required includes:

• completed and signed medical forms from each team member;
• signed waivers from each team member;
• signed image release forms from each team member.
• full payment of entrance fee for the team and complete contact information for each team member;

Once all paperwork has been completed, each team must pass through a mandatory gear check. Only certain items as indicated on the mandatory gear list will be checked. Teams missing items from the list will not be allowed to compete. Teams will be given until the close of registration to pass the mandatory gear check. Other items key to safety for specific legs of the race will be checked on course, with teams incurring time penalties or disqualification for failure to produce any of the required gear items. No specific skills will be tested in registration for the event, although it is expected that all team members are familiar with each discipline of the race.

Note: Teams will not be allowed to compete unless all contact information for all participants on the team is complete and accurate.
