How to Win the Breakout Room

1. Make sure each person has an accurate time for each event

2. Each event has a maximum of 5 minutes (300 seconds). If a person does not

complete the event, their time will be “300 seconds” for that event.

3. Some events you will have multiple opportunities to get the “Fastest Time”

4. Most events you will be timed from “Start to Finish.” Time begins at the beginning of the session, and time stops when you complete the activity.

5. At the conclusion of the three activities, have your judge add all three of your times to get a Total Time (See example bellow).

6. Have the judge give you the total, make sure you agree, and vice versa with their total time. You are your judge’s judge.

7. Once everyone has an accurate total time, choose the best 4 times on Monday, and the best time (1 time) on Tuesday and Wednesday. Post that person or persons name or names to the general chat with your breakout room number.
