CURRENT UPDATES

#1 - 15 April, 2011: EVENT SOP POSTED
Event SOP and registration materials are now posted on the website. Schools are now officially allowed to enter for the November, 2011 event. Those returning teams, as well as those schools listed as preferred schools through their solid performance back home can guarantee their entry slot if registering before 31 May 2011.

#2 - 27 October, 2011: EVENT SCORESHEETS REPOSTED
Raider event scoresheets were reposted. No changes were made to the actual scoring but 1) the event sponsor logos (U.S. Army Cadet Command and the Georgia National Guard) were included on all sheets and 2) several items that were either confusing or just plain didn;t belong were removed. No rule changes or other items have been made.

#3 - 27 October, 2011: WEBSITE UPDATED WITH FINAL ITEMS
Event website has been updated with many items for teams and spectators preparing to attend. These include the following: 1) Camp map (with street address); 2) Final event schedule; 3) Team Start Times; 4) Driving Directions and 5) Risk Management/Camp Safety/Camping Safety Information. Please take the time to review these documents with your spectators and your cadets BEFORE arrival at the camp - makes for great bus reading material!

#4 - 28 October, 2011: TROPHY MODIFICATION
While the Male and Mixed Divisions are more full than ever, the Female Division maintains a smaller number of teams than in past years. Because of this, trophies will be distributed for 1st through 3rd place finishes. Ultimate Raider and Individual APFT awards are unaffected.

THIS WILL BE THE CUT-OFF FOR LISTING ANY FURTHER SOP UPDATES/MODIFICATIONS
ON THIS PAGE - NO FURTHER UPDATES WILL BE POSTED!
ANY FURTHER CHANGES OF NOTE WILL BE GIVEN TO ALL SCHOOLS ON ARRIVAL.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL RAIDER TEAMS!
