How many people can be on a team?

Organizing a team is a great way to initiate teamwork involving your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.  For a company or small business, creating a team can help to promote teamwork, build camaraderie among employees and serve as a unique business promotional opportunity at a relatively low cost while making a valuable contribution to the community.   An "Official" TX TOUGH Team consists of three or more members with no limitation on the number of people who can join your team. The Tour features a team competition and awards are based on participation and fund-raising achievement. Teams are organized and placed in one of two categories and ALL awards are given to top performers in each of the categories.  Below is the list of team categories and qualifications:

CORPORATE – ALL team members are employed by the same company.

OPEN – Any organization, company or group of individuals wanting to form a team, which may include corporate teams allowing family members, friends, vendors, clients, etc., to join.

The purpose of the awards is to encourage and motivate everyone to do the best they can allowing each member  to contribute to the team's overall success. Awards given in each category are:

MOST FINSHERS OF ANY DISTANCE – Cumulative total of the team's participants who complete their registered distance.

MOST CUMULATIVE MILEAGE – Total mileage by the team's members that complete their registered distance.

HIGHEST AVERAGE MILEAGE PER MEMBER – Total cumulative mileage from ALL team members completing their registered distance divided by total number of team members.
