8:00 – 9:00: Crew Battle

A special unofficial competition! Two teams, East Coast and West Coast, will be battling across a wide range of events.

Each team will consist of five players. We'll have a deck of 25 cards, each with an event on it. There will be 15 rounds, for each of them we'll randomly select one, and each team captain will select which player will compete in a best-of-1 race in that event. Each player can only compete three times, and captains won't know who the other team is putting in, so they'll need to strategize about who to put in when.

The contents of the deck will be shared with captains before they select their team, but they won't know exactly which 15 cards will be selected, so they'll need to be prepared for anything when they pick their teams!
