Athletes are allowed to compete in multiple divisions, and where the workouts are the same can submit one result.
However, to compete in more than one division, athletes must register for each independently in the online qualifiers.
Once the online qualifiers have closed and the final leaderboard is confirmed, athletes must choose their division to compete in the final.
Teams In The DUCQ
Teams will consist of at least three men or three women. Athletes may only compete for one team. However, athletes are eligible to compete in other divisions (Masters, Futures & Elite Individual) for the DUCQ. If they choose to compete in multiple divisions they must register for that given division and complete all the required workouts and submit videos.
If athletes qualify for multiple divisions they must choose one division to compete in for the DUC final in Wollongong.
The athlete who registers the team will be designated as the team manager for the competition season. Team managers will create a team, pay the registration fee, and will be responsible for entering all other team member's details correctly.
• Each athlete must be registered on the team roster.
• Each athlete can complete the DUCQ workouts individually and in different locations.
• The team manager must submit all workout scores for each athlete in the DUCQ.
• The team manager must submit video links of all performances in the DUCQ.
• Teams may substitute one athlete but must ensure two of the original three team members remain on the team roster for the entire season.
