Corporate Cup Competition Information

Teams (male, female, co-ed) consist of full time employees and are based on company size. To enter, contact your company team captain or elect a company team captain. Team captains need to fill out an application roster. There is no charge to enter a corporate team, however, all team members must still register and pay their individual entry fee for the Boilermaker.

2008 BOILERMAKER CORPORATE CUP TEAM RULES

1. Each team member must have submitted a Boilermaker Official Entry Form to be eligible as a team member.

2. Each team entry must be submitted on a 2008 Boilermaker Corporate Cup Team Entry Form by JUNE 30, 2008.

3. No team entries will be accepted over the telephone.

4. Only one team may be entered per Boilermaker Corporate Cup Team Entry Form.

5. No amendments to a Team Entry Form will be accepted after it has been received by the Race Committee.

6. 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.

7. A Corporation is defined as a profit or nonprofit business or service, including state and municipal organizations.

8. 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.

9. 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)
