POINTS - Challenge, Spirit, Participation
The goal of Corporate Challenge is to encourage employee PARTICIPATION, increase company SPIRIT and, of course, provide a little healthy competition! In order to achieve all of this, your team will be rewarded in 3 Point categories: CHALLENGE, SPIRIT and PARTICIPATION.
Here is a breakdown of how our points and rankings work. Check each individual event page for complete details.
This is the one with the corporate bragging rights! Earn the most overall CHALLENGE points at the end of the Games and your company reigns supreme as Division Champion! Your team earns CHALLENGE points by placing in the top 6 of your division in any event labelled as a Challenge event. You also can receive CHALLENGE points in both the SPIRIT and PARTICIPATION categories (see below).
All CHALLENGE events will also award medals to participants placing in the gold, silver and bronze positions.
SPIRIT points.
Athletes who meet the above criteria cannot compete in their designated sport but are free to take part in any other event within Corporate Challenge.
Weather Policy
All outdoor events will take place as scheduled – RAIN OR SHINE. In the event that safety is an issue due to severe weather (high winds, lightning), Corporate Challenge Management will have the final decision as to event delays or cancellations. Any cancellations will be communicated to the Company Coordinator and will be posted on the Corporate Challenge social media and emailed to Company Coordinators.
Air Quality Event Cancellation Policy
Edmonton Corporate Challenge will monitor the Air Quality Health Index on Environment Canada's website. We will use their scale to determine if an event needs to be cancelled.
1 to 3 = 'low' health risk – ALL EVENTS PROCEED
4 to 6 = 'moderate' health risk – ALL EVENTS PROCEED but if a team wishes to cancel there is no penalties assessed
7 to 10 = 'high' health risk – OUTDOOR EVENTS MAY BE CANCELLED -- If the event proceeds and teams wish to cancel, no penalties will be assessed.
Above 10 = 'very high' health risk – ALL OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES CANCELLED
Cancellations of events is communicated through social media, the Corporate Challenge website and emails to Company Coordinators.
Each year, Corporate Challenge counts on over 1800 volunteers to help make the Games happen! We simply couldn't run the games without the assistance of the company volunteers!
