                              Ozark Raider Fitness Crucible 2018
Invitation: Ozark High School Junior ROTC will host a Raider fitness crucible on 15 September 2018 at
Ozark High School. This competition will be a non-traditional Raider meet, consisting of the following
eight events:
     5K Run – Team will run together on a 5K run route. Teammates must arrive together at the
         turn-around point and must finish together (within 10 yards).
     Litter Run – Team will carry a litter (stretcher) weighted with approximately 100 pounds along a
         running course of approximately 3/4 mile.
     Agility Course – Team will race through an agility course of small obstacles, including such
         elements as low crawl, high crawl, slalom, horizontal ladder, vault, hurdle, incline wall, over and
         under, and balance beam run.
     Ironman – Team will perform a series of heavy-object exercises, including such things as tire flip,
         ammo can lift, sled drag, and water can carry.
     Lumberjack – Team will perform a series of exercises with a heavy log, including running,
         dragging, overhead pressing, bench pressing, flipping, sitting-up (with log across chest), etc.
     Stone Quarry – Team will unload a pallet of cinder blocks by hand, carrying each a short
         distance then loading onto a second pallet. Once second pallet is loaded, teams will unload
         blocks and transport to a third pallet a short distance away. Teams will thereafter return cinder
         blocks to second pallet, then original pallet. Gloves are recommended.
     Rucksack Relay – Two team members at a time run with a weighted rucksack (approximately 40
         pounds) around a ¼ mile track. Each team member must run 2 complete laps. They may
         transfer the rucksack after each lap or run for two laps before transferring it.
     Bucket Brigade – Team members will transport water from a water tank downhill to fill a barrel
         uphill, using gallon pails.

Team size: Teams will consist of up to five members, but only four may compete in any single event.
The fifth team member serves as an alternate to give other team members a break as needed. The fifth
team member may not assist or substitute in during an event without the team’s forfeiting that event.
Undersized teams (i.e., fewer than four members) are eligible to compete in all events except for the 5K
run. They may run the event anyway, but their time will not count.

Timeline: Timeline is as follows:
    7:00-7:30 – Check in (please arrive no later than 7:30)
    8:00-12:00 – Competition
    12:30 – Award ceremony

Rotation schedule: The 5K run will be the first event for all teams. All teams will start at the same time.
As teams finish the 5K, they will move out to the remaining events in whatever sequence they choose.
Teams will need to move fairly rapidly from event to event in order to complete all eight events before
12:00. No more events will begin after 11:40.

Awards: Awards will be given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams in every event, as well as to the 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd place winners overall. Awards will be medallions for each member of the team for each event
and for overall.

Uniform: All JROTC teams will wear ACU trousers, ACU boots, and a matching T-shirts (whether ACU tan
or alternate). They may also, at their own discretion, wear their ACU blouse and/or ACU soft cap. Non-
cadets competing in the civilian category may wear whatever appropriate workout attire they choose,
so long as it doesn’t violate basic standards of decency or somehow provide an unfair advantage over
other civilian teams.

Conduct: Cursing is forbidden. Each instance of cursing will be penalized (with a time penalty) by the
station director. Repeated instances of cursing are grounds for dismissal (with disqualification) from the
event or even the entire competition. If you have concerns about the judging of any event, please direct
your concerns to the operations center. You may raise them respectfully with the station director first,
but please do not argue with the station directors.

Disqualification: Teams disqualified from an event will receive the lowest score possible for that event.
While this will make it unlikely that they can place overall, disqualification from an individual station
does NOT disqualify them from placing over all. However, teams disqualified from an individual event
may be disqualified from placing overall depending on the grounds of their disqualification. MAJ Cazier
reserves judgment over whether teams disqualified from individual events retain eligibility to place
overall. Similarly, teams who do not finish an event due to running out of time are not automatically
disqualified from placing overall.

Scoring: Scoring for each event is based on time, adjusted for penalties. The overall winner is
determined by averaging the finishing place (not finish time) for each event. The team with the best
overall finish place average wins. In the event of a tie, the Agility Course time will be used as the tie-
breaker. In the event additional tie-breakers are required, they will be the Ironman and the Bucket
Brigade, in that order.

Registration: JROTC programs: Please let us know by 30 August how many teams you anticipate sending
from your program. All: Because T-shirts are included in your registration fee, we require completed
registration forms and liability waivers (see attached documents) no later than 30 August. Please feel
free to advertise this event widely. Registration is limited to 40 teams total, so register early to secure
your spot.

Entry fee: Entry fee is $25 per participant. This entry fee includes the cost of a commemorative T-shirt
for every participant.

Overnight lodging: Limited space is available for JROTC teams traveling from over 2 hours away to
lodge overnight at Ozark High School. Teams will be responsible for providing their own bedding and
meals. Please let us know by 30 August if you will be lodging at the high school. Those staying overnight
will have access to restrooms but NOT to showers or locker room. Teams will be responsible for
maintaining the security of all their belongings. They will also be restricted to the lodging area.
Coaches, please ensure the respectful and responsible conduct of any participants you bring with you.

Inclement weather: This competition will proceed as planned even in foul weather unless competition
officials deem the weather to constitute a substantial risk to competitor safety (e.g., lightning). In that
