Camaraderie and fun are always the primary focus of this event, but we know that the spirit of competition is strong. With that said, we want to take a moment to respectfully remind all captains to help communicate the following among your employees:
- Honesty and integrity that participants who are registering for your team MUST be employees of your company
- Following the gender requirements for competitions
- Following the competition rules and scoring for each event
- Sport Equipment: Besides Golf Chipping where participants are required to bring their own golf clubs to compete, all other events require that participants use the sport equipment we provide, NOT their own. This includes balls, hula hoops, cornhole bags, sack race bags, and frisbees.
- No use of foul language or unsportsmanlike behavior
- Respect to the referees, volunteers, and staff working the event. San Antonio Sports reserves the right to remove any participant from the event if deemed necessary
- Illegally substituting an alternate instead of properly following the formality of being a backup due to dropout, injury, or an unforeseen circumstance (ex. family emergency)
New rules and competition details to be aware of for this year's event:
- Tug-of-War:As teams advance through the tournament, substitutions will be allowed only with the two (2) alternates that each team has the opportunity to register. The alternates must report with the entire team who is starting the first match. This means as teams advance in each round they can rotate 2 participants so as long as they were a part of the original reporting team. Teams must still follow the equal gender requirement split when participating and utilizing subs.
- Reminder that Divisions 1-3 have 8 starting participants so with alternates that is a maximum of 10 participants.
- Reminder that Divisions 4 & 5 have 4 starting participants so with alternates that is a maximum of 6 participants.
- Prior to participating, all teams must report to the tug-of-war tent to receive some type of identifier that will be required for your participants and alternates to ensure no one outside of the starters and alternates try to mix in for future subs.
- We are implementing this rule to enhance the experience of this event while also considering the tougher nature of the competition with participant safety in mind.
- Dodgeball:4 players (2 of whom must be female) will start each game. This means each match withing the best out of 3 series must start with 2 men and 2 women, NOT just the first match. Matches are best-of-3 and the tournament is single elimination.
- Sach Race:Not a new rule but to clarify, there is no requirment we have for the order your team has to have for your 2 male and 2 female participants in both the sack race and 4x100m relay.
- We are re-enforcing that all participants MUST use both hands to hold on to their sack bag when racing and can NO LONGER use 1 hand like last year
Hula Hoop - At least 1 male is required for each team (team can have more than 1 male if desired but 1 male is the new minimum vs the equal gender split that was last year's format.)
- The maximum hula hoop time per participant is now 10-minutes, with a max team potential of 40-minutes
- WALKING IS NOT ALLOWED! Anyone who walks will automatically be disqualified and receive a zero (0) for their individual time.
- All participants must use the same size hula hoop we provide all participants which is the 8-piece hula hoop, approximately 37.4 inches in circumfurance and around 3lbs.
- In fairnless of all teams and with limited time for the competition, no teams will have time to practice and if you wish to practice, you must do so on your own prior to reporting to the event location.

- All other divisions will still need 8 participants (4 men and 4 women)

- After a player has been eliminated, a sub of either a male or female can be brought back in.

Pickleball - Each division tournament will be round robin start play that will then determine seeding for the single elimination bracket.
- Games are now 8-minutes
