Team Format

Your Team

Squad size

Assemble a 2, 3, or 4 member squad. All-male, all-female, or mixed gender.

A pair. Both results count in every event you contest — no dropped score and no scratch buffer.

A trio. Line up three and drop the lowest score in any event. The top two still count.

A squad of four. Recruit specialists, drop the lowest scores, or scratch strategically. Only the top two results count.

Scoring

Game Time Decisions

How team scoring works
  • Teammate 1 Counts
  • Teammate 2 Counts
  • Teammate 3 Dropped
  • Teammate 4 Scratch

Only the top two results in each event earn team points — up to 2,000 per event (two × 1,000).

Line up three or four and drop the lowest scores. Extra results do not add points.

A teammate can scratch an event to conserve strength for later. Scratches score zero for that athlete, not the team’s top two.

Only the top 2 results in each event earn your team points. A teammate can scratch strategically to conserve strength for later in the competition.

earn points on the field...and off it

Earn points on the field and off it.

One-fourth (¼) of your team's points are earned exclusively through fundraising. (Maximum of 6,667 points)

¾ of your points are earned through athleticism. (Maximum of 20,000 points)

The ONLY way to win is to fundraise well. It's pure math.

The complete rules for the team event may be viewed in the Team FAQs.

Why Create a Team?

your rivals will become your allies, your mentors, your friends

When you join The D10, you meet the kind of people you want to keep in your life: the high-achieving, purpose-driven, socially conscious, no-excuses kind of people.  People who demand the best of themselves and others and know how to get it. 

People who accomplish more in a day than others do in a week. 

People determined to make the most of the life they've been given.

your teammates will become your squad

You and your teammates have been performing The D10's events your whole life.  Now, your challenge is to do them better than ever before, and with more purpose.  The D10 is not a lark--it's a season.  Training and fundraising with purpose can be grueling.  It's a commitment.  Who do you want to have in the foxhole with you?

DIG DEEP

Do you remember what it was like to make the varsity team, or compete in the championship game?  Those experiences were cherished because they were earned.  The same is true at The D10.  Only a few hundred athletes in each D10 city form this exclusive community.  You'll see The D10 uniform worn with pride all year round, because that uniform is earned, not given.

produce a profound impact

Cancer touches all of us. And it sucks. Since 2009, D10 athletes have raised more than $20 million to support pediatric cancer treatment and research by harnessing support from their personal and professional networks.

What To Expect

Scoring

Ten events. One thousand points each. The scoring tables are empirical; they've been calibrated around the historical performances of all D10 athletes nationwide, so exceptional performances earn exceptional scores. For the team competition, the top two results in each event count toward the team's score — up to 2,000 points per event. Fundraising also counts toward the overall score, so if you want to hoist the team trophy, you have to haul in those donation dollars.

Maximum team points 26,667

Athletic points

20,000

Two results × 1,000-point maximum × ten events
