GENERAL COMPETITION FORMAT
Each official Battle consists of 5 core disciplines conducted over one or two competition days. Points are awarded based on placement in each event (1st place = N points, 2nd place = N-1 points, etc.). The athlete with the highest aggregate total at the end of the 5th event is crowned Champion.
