Your town should pre-choose your teams before you come to the event. Marker the left shoulder only with your home team initials.

Each team is strongly encouraged to compete in all events. The Distance Run and Beach Flag events are considered “open individual events” to all competitors who wish to participate -No teammates required. (The Beach Flags will take place only if time/conditions permit).
