Team Club Requirement

1. Teams may not record heat scores for multiple clubs.

Scoring

1. Each heat will follow a specific BLAZE Community Games workout, based on the standard BLAZE class format.
2. Your team score will be made up of:

• Time spent in the Myzone® “red” zone, up to a maximum of 18 minutes.

• The total distance run on the treadmill (1 point per 100m),

• The total number of repetitions performed in the strength and combat zones within three 3-minute intervals per team member, based on the BLAZE Community Games Heats workout.

  3. Red zone minutes will be taken from the summary tile displayed at the end of the class. If your summary tile does not display correctly, the minutes spent in the red zone will be taken from your Myzone® app.

4. Time spent in Myzone® colours cannot be tracked using external devices such as a fitness watch or stopwatch.
5. You should always exercise within your own limits.
6. You must record your team’s results using the official BLAZE Community Games scorecard and hand this to the Instructor or BLAZE Supervisor immediately at the end of your heat.
7. Any team suspected of cheating, falsifying results or not following the workout or movement standards may be disqualified.
8. The Instructor’s decision regarding scoring and validation of results is final.

Score Verification for Top Teams

1. To help ensure fairness and integrity across all clubs, teams finishing within the top 10 of their regional leaderboard may be required to verify their score, which may include:

• Providing a photograph of the completed BLAZE Community Games scorecard, signed by the BLAZE Supervisor or Instructor, and
• Providing video evidence demonstrating correct movement standards and repetition quality for part or all of the workout.

Video evidence may be filmed by a team member, the Instructor or the BLAZE Supervisor and should clearly show:

• The team member(s) performing the movements, and
• Reasonable proof of the number of repetitions and/or time where relevant.

2. David Lloyd Leisure reserves the right to request evidence from any team on the leaderboard. Failure to provide suitable verification when requested may result in removal of the score or disqualification from the competition.

Travel & Accommodation 

1. Accommodation the night before the UK semi finals is offered in a local hotel for each team member. (3 single accommodation rooms per team) 
2. Teams from clubs which are 150 miles to the hosting club, will be assisted with travel costs.  
3. Where such support is offered, specific details (such as the number of rooms, nights included, meal inclusions and any travel reimbursement) will be communicated directly to the teams concerned.
