2008 BOILERMAKER CORPORATE CUP TEAM RULES
Each team member must have submitted a Boilermaker Official Entry Form to be eligible as a team
member.
Each team entry must be submitted on a 2008 Boilermaker Corporate Cup Team Entry Form by
JUNE 30, 2008.
No team entries will be accepted over the telephone.
Only one team may be entered per Boilermaker Corporate Cup Team Entry Form.
No amendments to a Team Entry Form will be accepted after it has been received by the Race Committee.
Corporations may enter an unlimited number of teams, and team size is unlimited. There is no fee for entering a team. The minimum team size is determined by the scoring criteria listed in Items 10 through 12.
A Corporation is defined as a profit or nonprofit business or service, including state and municipal organizations.
Each team runner must be a full-time or part-time employee of the Business/Corporation since April 1st, 2008. A full-time employee is one who regularly works, and is paid through the regular company payroll, a 40 hour week. A part-time employee works no less than 20 hours regularly each week, and is on the company’s regular payroll. Employment must be verifiable through the company’s human resources or personnel department, and that contact must be given on the entry form. No contractors, sub-contractors, or consultants will be considered as employees. Physicians and Medical Professionals who have privileges to practice at a hospital or medical group may form a team, or be included on a team with employees of the hospital or medical group.
If more than one group, branch, or division of the company exists then teams must be entered in the competition category appropriate for the size, or employee count, of the entire company if the team roster is made up of runners from more than one office location. If a team is entered with runners coming from a single office location, then the team may enter in the competition category based on the size of the one office, branch, or division that the roster is taken from. If the roster contains runners from more than one office location, then the size of the entire company is used as the basis for the team category. (see item 10)
Team scoring will be based on the average finish time, based on net, or chip time, of:
MALE TEAMS: Large Corporation (over 1000 employees) ---- First 5 finishers
Medium Corporation (251 to 1000 employees) ---- First 5 finishers
Small Corporation (1 to 250 employees) ---- First 3 finishers
FEMALE TEAMS: All Corporations ---- First 3 finishers
COED TEAMS: Large Corporation (over 1000 employees) ---- First 5 finishers
Medium Corporation (251 to 1000 employees) ---- First 5 finishers
Small Corporation (1 to 250 employees) ---- First 3 finishers
MASTERS TEAMS: All Corporations ---- First 3 finishers
Minimum team size is 5 for large and medium teams, or 3 for small, coed, and masters teams, as indicated
to complete the scoring.
Scoring for Coed teams will include the first 3 finishers composed of at least 1 male and 1 female runner for small corporations, and the first 5 finishers composed of at least 2 male and 2 female runners for medium and large corporations.
Scoring for Masters teams will include the first 3 finishers. Masters runners must be forty years old (40) on or before the day of the race. Note that runners over 40 may compete in other categories, but a Masters team can only include runners that are at least 40 years old.
Awards will be given to the First and Second Place Finishers in each Team category. An additional award will be issued to the team with the fastest score, as computed for their category. The team winning the overall fastest team award will not be included in the First and Second Finish Award for their category (no multiple awards). Awards will also be given to the Fastest Male and Fastest Female Corporate Cup runners.
An individual cannot be entered as an official member for more than one Boilermaker Corporate Cup Team. This includes Male, Female, Coed, and Master’s teams.
The Team Captain will be responsible for the completion and accuracy of the Team Entry Form. Any correspondence from the Race Committee will be with the Team Captain - not with the individual team members. The Team Captain should provide their address and telephone number in case of any problems.
The Team Entry Form must include the name and telephone number of the employee personnel department or responsible individual for the purpose of verifying company size and employment status of team runners.
All rules are interpreted by the Boilermaker Race committee and any disputes or suggestions must be made in writing to the Corporate Cup Committee Chairman.
