The ring is ready, the ropes suspended, and the crowd waits with eager anticipation. A spot light shines to the center of the arena. The roaring crowd grows silent.
It’s a time-honored tradition, and now it’s YOUR TURN to step into the ring! Bust out your face paint and get pumped as you combat other Gap Year squads in battles that include both NEW and CLASSIC challenges!
Gap Year 2015 squads take the stage for a Battle Royale, a blitzkrieg, a crusade of valiant warriors. After the dust settles, who will be left standing?
(If the Eye of the Tiger isn’t playing in your head yet, it should be.)
Here’s how it works: There will be 3 squads launching in September 2015. Up till now, you have been known as Routes 1, 2, and 3, but from now on, you will now be known by your squad letters:
Gap Year Route 1 = C Squad (red)
Gap Year Route 2 = D Squad (blue)
Gap Year Route 3 = E Squad (green)
Points will be awarded for various Squad Wars challenges beginning now through training camp. The squad with the most points at the end of Squad Wars WINS!
Squad Wars is officially under way so without further ado….
ROUND ONE: VIDEO CHALLENGE!
Objective: Be the squad to have the highest percentage of people post or email* a personal introduction video.
*If you e-mail your video, your Mobilizer will post it to Facebook for you.
The video should be posted to your squad’s Facebook page.
The Rules:
Video MUST be 9 seconds or less.
Your face must appear in the video.
Only one video per person will count.
Videos can only feature one racer (so no teaming up).
Fit as much as you want into the video but it must include your name, age, and hometown.
Video must be submitted by NOON Friday, May 22nd.

(Okay, so maybe that’s not the greatest example.)
Points will be awarded to squads accordingly:
1st place = 500 points
2nd place = 250 points
3rd place = 100 points
BONUS: The one person with the most creative video will earn their Squad an extra 50 POINTS.
3, 2, 1 …..GO!
* We will be balancing squads out around the application deadline (June 15th). If you are on a waiting list, you will be notified around that date of any changes. Until then, continue with squad wars on your current squad.**
