Track + Field Day games

A controlled finish inside the chosen lane adds 1 bonus point.

• A controlled finish inside the chosen lane adds 1 bonus point.
• Use Shuttle Relay Lanes’s posted out-and-back turns. A whole turn completed in lane with a calm turn and stopped handoff adds 1 to that team’s ordinary length points, once per turn. A crossing or unsafe turn adds 0 and stops movement for spacing correction; losing a bonus is never permission to continue dangerously. Keep the same turns for equal-sized entries. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Lane Stay Bonus as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Lane Stay Bonus; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Score a relay transfer only when both hands and the baton are inside the marked zone.

• Score a relay transfer only when both hands and the baton are inside the marked zone.
• Use Cone Handoff Exchange’s six pair exchanges. A clean in-zone transfer earns its normal 2 once; an outside or dropped transfer earns 0. Stop the lane, then reset at the drop spot only after it is clear. The safe completion needed to continue adds no second scoring attempt. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Handoff Zone as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Handoff Zone; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Choose or switch to a suitable walk-only version whenever needed.

• Choose or switch to a suitable walk-only version whenever needed.
• Use Hurdle Step-Over Ladder or Low Hurdle Rhythm and stop before changing pace if necessary. Keep the same marker order and ordinary completion credit: 1 per clean step-over in the former, 2 per full controlled pass in the latter. Walking costs no point. For a time-based station, keep movement-condition entries separate or use its prediction mode rather than compare unlike speed conditions. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Walk-It Option as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Walk-It Option; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Use every finisher’s time over the same distance in the team average.

• Use every finisher’s time over the same distance in the team average.
• Use Team Lap Average’s declared target. Add all actual finisher times in seconds and divide by their count, then compare absolute error from the target. Include every finisher, not only the fastest; do not divide again or average different distances. If a listed participant cannot finish, keep logs but end the team comparison rather than improving its denominator. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Team Average Split as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Team Average Split; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Pause for heat, shade or a needed rest without penalty.

• Pause for heat, shade or a needed rest without penalty.
• Stop the session and timing, preserve valid earlier results and move to suitable shelter or end play as conditions require. Resume only when the activity is suitable and each participant chooses readiness; group agreement cannot override someone’s need to stop or withdraw. An interrupted unsafe heat is not scored as a faster time. It does not spend a rest token. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Heat Reset as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Heat Reset; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Finish under control; a dive or collision-bound lunge voids that attempt.

• Finish under control; a dive or collision-bound lunge voids that attempt.
• Use a running or walking lane with its gradual runout. Continue through the finish under control, then slow without an abrupt stop or turn. Diving, lunging into people or falling across the line makes that result invalid and stops the lane for care and clearance. An invalid time is unranked, not zero seconds; never repeat immediately through pain to recover points. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score No-Dive Finish as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after No-Dive Finish; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Follow the marked route and stop calmly after a missed cone.

• Follow the marked route and stop calmly after a missed cone.
• Use Three-Cone Agility Run’s A→B→C→A route. A missed cone cancels that attempt’s partial time; stop, return by the clear path and use its one ordinary missed-route restart. A second miss makes the scheduled attempt invalid. A separate safety interruption never calls for a penalty sprint or an abrupt reversal across another lane. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Cone Boundary as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Cone Boundary; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Give every compared entry the same announced scoring opportunities.

• Give every compared entry the same announced scoring opportunities.
• Post the selected activity’s attempt count before play. Any extra ordinary attempts need whole-group agreement before scores begin and the same added opportunity for every compared entry. Medicine Ball Roll Target retains exactly its stated three same-ball rolls and separate stated tie roll; use extra rolling only as a new separate practice record. Needed safety resets remain separate from scoring extras. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Equal Attempts as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Equal Attempts; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Name a comfortable target before the anchor starts.

• Name a comfortable target before the anchor starts.
• Use Walking Relay Split’s final-anchor option: calculate the team’s first-round mean from equal-distance completed walking legs, then the anchor names that target before release. A finish within 2 seconds earns the same separate 1-point pacing recognition, counted once. The normal completion point stays unchanged. The anchor may slow or stop rather than force the target. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Anchor Calls Pace as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Anchor Calls Pace; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A useful footing correction before play can earn 1 recognition point.

• A useful footing correction before play can earn 1 recognition point.
• Stop first, identify the problem and repair or relocate the station before deciding to resume. Once corrected, recognize the participant’s useful observation with 1 separate point, at most once per station session. Do not create a hazard or compete to find more; a needed stop remains available whether or not recognition is awarded. Keep the point outside distance/time rankings. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Safe Surface Check as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Safe Surface Check; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A valid controlled attempt must satisfy the announced form cue before time is compared.

• A valid controlled attempt must satisfy the announced form cue before time is compared.
• Use Flying Start Sprint’s lane control and gradual deceleration, or the existing three cues in Sprint Form Review. Announce the cue before the attempt. A failed safety/form condition invalidates a timed result, even if fast. In Sprint Form Review keep its three stated form points and no time score; do not turn this modifier into another point or speed tiebreak. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Form Beats Speed as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Form Beats Speed; stop at the agreed finish condition.

One team token may pause an optional relay elapsed-time clock for rest.

• One team token may pause an optional relay elapsed-time clock for rest.
• Use Shuttle Relay Lanes’s complete equal-sized two-out-and-back-turns-per-member schedule for an optional timed exhibition. Start the outside judge’s clock on the first release and stop it after the final controlled return and stopped handoff; lowest valid elapsed time wins, with ties shared. Each team has one preannounced token that pauses that time log for at most 30 seconds of rest. After 30 seconds the log resumes if the exhibition continues, but participants may keep resting or stop. Necessary hazard or care interruptions pause or end the comparison independently; an invalid unsafe finish has no ranked time. Rest whenever needed, with or without a token; the token limits only the clock pause. Keep the activity’s ordinary length points separate and do not add attempts. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Rest Token Relay as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Rest Token Relay; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Wait for a new clear-zone call before every throw.

• Wait for a new clear-zone call before every throw.
• Use Soft Throw Accuracy Field’s judge position outside the reachable area. The judge checks the whole landing sector and all waiting players before calling clear. A throw before that call earns 0 and stops the station, regardless of a target hit. Restore readiness before another attempt; never allow a dangerous launch in exchange for losing a point. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Throw Zone Clear as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Throw Zone Clear; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Only a verifiable landing mark supplies a measured result.

• Only a verifiable landing mark supplies a measured result.
• Use Standing Long Jump Mark’s three attempts and nearest-body-contact measurement. The judge marks before the participant clears the area, then measures only once the lane is safe. If the mark is genuinely obscured or unobservable, void that measurement and offer one safe replacement for that scheduled attempt. An ordinary short jump or clear foul is not an unclear mark. If the replacement also cannot be verified, record no valid distance. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Landing Line Proof as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Landing Line Proof; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Clear spectators, bags and spare gear before an attempt begins.

• Clear spectators, bags and spare gear before an attempt begins.
• Use the selected route’s whole active lane and gradual runout, not only its start line. No timing begins until those spaces are clear. If someone enters during the attempt, stop, void the interrupted time and restore a suitable route before any optional replacement. Nobody guards a score by continuing through another person. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Crowd-Free Lane as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Crowd-Free Lane; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Offer the planned break as part of completing the game.

• Offer the planned break as part of completing the game.
• Use Water Break Captain Lap’s one shared 2-point care result for the offered break and safe reset or ending. An earlier requested break earns that same full credit, once; it does not add another 2. Each person chooses whether to drink, rest or stop. Skipping a needed break never creates an extra point or faster ranked result. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Hydration Break as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Hydration Break; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Choose a willing relay order before the final option is revealed.

• Choose a willing relay order before the final option is revealed.
• Use Finale Medley Relay’s three posted legs and short-group exception. Keep that order for the scored medley; a new order belongs between separate completed rounds. If someone needs to stop or change a role for safety/readiness, stop first and revise or end that entry’s comparison rather than force the old order. No points can require participation. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Relay Order Draft as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Relay Order Draft; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A trailing team may choose one suitable station for the final heat.

• A trailing team may choose one suitable station for the final heat.
• After a completed equal-opportunity Field Day Station Rotation, offer the lowest-total team a choice among the same three already demonstrated station rubrics. Tied trailing teams agree or alternate; if they cannot agree, use the posted default first station. Give everyone one matching final attempt there, replacing a lower ordinary station result only if better. Do not add new contact, distance, equipment or difficulty, and never demand an unsuitable jump. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Comeback Heat as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Comeback Heat; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Explain task, score and safety before the station starts.

• Explain task, score and safety before the station starts.
• A willing captain gives the chosen station’s actual route or target, point rule and stop/retrieval rule. A complete initial explanation earns the group 1 separate station-readiness recognition point. If safety is omitted, award no readiness point and do not start: correct the explanation first. Necessary correction always takes priority over the bonus, and the captain is not shamed. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Station Captain as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Station Captain; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Stop immediately after a near collision and restore separated space.

• Stop immediately after a near collision and restore separated space.
• Cancel the interrupted repetition or time and have everyone stop before repositioning. Identify a clear route, recheck readiness and offer the same interrupted attempt only if suitable; it adds no extra scored attempt. Preserve earlier valid scores. Assign no blame during recovery, and end the station if spacing cannot be made reliable. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score No-Collision Restart as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after No-Collision Restart; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A prewritten prediction within 1 second doubles that attempt’s ordinary 1 point.

• A prewritten prediction within 1 second doubles that attempt’s ordinary 1 point.
• Use Sprint Start Reaction with an added outside-lane timer and the same three attempts for everyone. Before each start, write the expected start-to-finish duration. A cue-correct controlled finish normally earns 1; if its observed duration is within 1 second of the written prediction, earn 2 instead. A false start keeps its original 1-point deduction and cannot qualify. Do not double time, error or another already doubled point. Tied final points share. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Pace Guess Double as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Pace Guess Double; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Use only the suitable soft object selected for that throwing station.

• Use only the suitable soft object selected for that throwing station.
• Use Soft Throw Accuracy Field or Foam Turbo Throw Target with the same suitable gear for compared attempts. Remove hard, sharp, damaged or unapproved objects before the first turn; finding one stops the station rather than granting permission to throw for 0. This condition never changes Medicine Ball Roll Target into an aerial throw or replaces its exact recorded rolling ball. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Soft Throw Only as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Soft Throw Only; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Use only markers that can be stepped over comfortably.

• Use only markers that can be stepped over comfortably.
• Use Hurdle Step-Over Ladder or Low Hurdle Rhythm with flat lines whenever raised markers are unsuitable. Anyone may walk or switch to walking and keep the ordinary clean-step or full-pass credit. Do not increase height, close spacing or demand a jump to break a tie. A moved marker is reset only after the lane stops. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Low Hurdle Rule as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Low Hurdle Rule; stop at the agreed finish condition.

An accounted-for calm group finish keeps its 2-point together award.

• An accounted-for calm group finish keeps its 2-point together award.
• Use Lap Leader Draft’s shared lap, where people travel together with room rather than converging in a relay lane. A comfortable group finish or necessary early group stop earns its existing 2 once; add no duplicate bonus. Allow different suitable pace and regroup without crowding or pressuring the slowest person. A sequential relay does not become a simultaneous run-in. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Finish Together Bonus as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Finish Together Bonus; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Offer a suitable gentle cooldown or needed rest for 1 shared finishing point.

• Offer a suitable gentle cooldown or needed rest for 1 shared finishing point.
• At the end of a station session, invite easy familiar movement or the rest each person needs and account for the group. Completing that care step earns one shared 1-point recognition, outside individual distance/time scores. It cannot become a speed tiebreak by skipping ahead. Nobody must continue moving through pain or an access need to protect the point. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Cooldown Point as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Cooldown Point; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Rotate a willing timer after each completed heat.

• Rotate a willing timer after each completed heat.
• Before the next heat, hand over the stopped timer and demonstrate the exact start/finish marks. Use someone outside the active team whenever another reliable willing timer is available. If only a team member can time, announce that limitation before starts and use the same agreed method; do not claim official timing precision. Nobody reads a device while moving in the lane. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Timer Swap as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Timer Swap; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Keep encouragement brief, wanted and free of distraction.

• Keep encouragement brief, wanted and free of distraction.
• Before Shuttle Relay Lanes, agree one short supportive phrase after a teammate’s turn, outside the active lane. A team meeting that condition throughout its posted turns receives 1 separate recognition point once. Pressure, heckling or a distracting call forfeits only that bonus and requires a pause if safety is affected; keep earlier valid leg points. Necessary safety speech is not capped. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Team Cheer Cap as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Team Cheer Cap; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A correct stopped marker reset earns the team 1 recognition point.

• A correct stopped marker reset earns the team 1 recognition point.
• After a station’s movement and retrieval stop, compare its cones, chalk or target edges with the diagram or measurements recorded before play. Return them accurately before the next entry starts. A completed reset earns 1 separate point once for that team’s station session, not per cone. Do not move a marker mid-attempt or reward a deliberately disturbed layout. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Mark Reset as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Mark Reset; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Choose the willing finale anchor before its scoring result is known.

• Choose the willing finale anchor before its scoring result is known.
• Use Last-Leg Anchor Chase and record the anchor before the stagger is announced, or Finale Medley Relay’s posted last leg before starts. The anchor can choose a suitable safe scale or decline. Keep the base attempt count, movement-condition comparison and 1-point anchor or 2-point medley-finish rule; this selection adds no new bonus. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Anchor Finale as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Anchor Finale; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Recognize one specific useful rule call with 1 separate point.

• Recognize one specific useful rule call with 1 separate point.
• A named fair-play judge may award the group one separate 1-point recognition for a clear call that actually protected safety or equal opportunity. State the incident and name the useful caller or callers; equally useful calls may share acknowledgment, but the group point is awarded only once. Stop first for any concern, whether or not the judge awards a point. Keep it outside running times, measured distances and ordinary station totals. Warm up, use a clear surface, mark lanes and landing zones, keep throw areas empty, match intensity to ability, and stop for pain, heat, poor footing, or crowding. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Field Day Fair Play as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Field Day Fair Play; stop at the agreed finish condition.
