Timers with buzzers are set up for the event. However, only the first athlete to press the buzzer will stop the official time. The other athlete will be recorded via stopwatch.

Athletes will have one official run for time that will count towards their overall pentathlon score.

For athletes in Masters, U 13 and below: athletes are permitted to fail twice on each obstacle though on the second fail, they may move on to the next obstacle.

For athletes in U 15 and above: athletes who fail the same obstacle after two attempts, will be asked to stop the obstacle course at that time and will receive no points for the obstacle discipline.

If an athlete fails an obstacle they must walk/run to the end of the obstacle, around the end vertical truss, and back to the beginning of the obstacle on the outside of the obstacle before attempting a second time.
