First runners are stagg ered at the start by lane. \;\n\nOn go\, the first runner takes off wi th the baton. When the runner reaches the back of their team&rsquo\;s line \, they must pass the baton forward to the front runner. Baton must touch the hands of each competitor in the line as it is passed up.\n\nEach runne r completes one lap. A team&rsquo\;s time is recorded when all four runner s have completed their laps and the baton reaches the hands of the first r unner in front. The teams are not in direct competition with each other fo r a &ldquo\;finish&rdquo\; yet\, they are setting times.\n\nAfter every te am has competed once\, the times of each team are stacked fastest to slowe st. Then we do it like a motor race qualifying session i.e.\, the bottom X number of teams (leaving a multiple of 3) are eliminated and then we star t over for the next session.\n\nSo\, for example\, lets say we have 11 tea ms compete. Each team sets their time. We list the times in a row (all 11) and teams 10 and 11 are eliminated. Then we have 9 teams. We do it again with fresh times being set. After everyone goes again\, teams 7\, 8\, and 9 are eliminated. Do it again\, teams 4\, 5\, and 6\, are eliminate. Then the final race is between teams 1\, 2\, and 3 for finishing places.\n  \;\n X-ALT-DESC:FMTTYPE=text/html:

Teams of 4 people.

\n\n

Heats of 3 teams with a staggered starting man by lane to account for distance (middle and outside lanes st agger forward\, common finish line for all three lanes.)

\n\n

Competi tors line up at the common finish line single file in their lane. First ru nners are staggered at the start by lane. \;

\n\n

On go\, the fir st runner takes off with the baton. When the runner reaches the back of th eir team&rsquo\;s line\, they must pass the baton forward to the front run ner. Baton must touch the hands of each competitor in the line as it is pa ssed up.

\n\n

Each runner completes one lap. A team&rsquo\;s time is recorded when all four runners have completed their laps and the baton rea ches the hands of the first runner in front. The teams are not in direct c ompetition with each other for a &ldquo\;finish&rdquo\; yet\, they are set ting times.

\n\n

After every team has competed once\, the times of ea ch team are stacked fastest to slowest. Then we do it like a motor race qu alifying session i.e.\, the bottom X number of teams (leaving a multiple o f 3) are eliminated and then we start over for the next session.

\n\n

So\, for example\, lets say we have 11 teams compete. Each team sets thei r time. We list the times in a row (all 11) and teams 10 and 11 are elimin ated. Then we have 9 teams. We do it again with fresh times being set. Aft er everyone goes again\, teams 7\, 8\, and 9 are eliminated. Do it again\, teams 4\, 5\, and 6\, are eliminate. Then the final race is between teams 1\, 2\, and 3 for finishing places.
