I want to do the Urban Orienteering or whatever, but I can't tell if it's a maximum of four people, a minimum of four people or both.

Bonavista Energy Trust team

I'll do soccer, and 10k run (lower division) for sure this year.
Thinking of doing trivia and riding the pine for the basketball team as well.

You need 4 people exactly. Be prepared to do a lot of running.

But it's a lot of fun. I did it two years in a row. My first year we had to run up COP hill. The second year involved starting at Schanks South going to Southcentre then up to Brentwood. Tons of fun. Take water for sure!

i've been trying to convince them to join! It's probably because there's a waiting list for companies who haven't participated before to join and it can take years. Companies have to drop out, and then the other companies waiting before yours have to be offered the position and turn it down, etc.

SUCKS more that my company use to be in it every year, but we had such low turnout that we eventually just stopped because we could barely scrape enough people together to get any events going.

Soccer team 6/10

foosball 0.5/10

i think you can if you are related with someone on another company.

a coworker is participating CCC in soccer with her husband's team

[megavolt]

You have to work for the company (or a contractor for that company) and provide proof of it (badge or letter from HR).

Been captain of my company's lasertag team for 5 years now, I WISH I could use family (my wife is a great player too).

[Grogador]

So we hit up the practice mtbike rides at COP tonight. Turns out I'm too effing fat/lazy and my DH bike is too effing heavy... I might end up being the honorary captain haha. Competition is gonna be fierce, lots of scrawny x-country riders with RM Elements or hardtails etc, couple hotties too nice view as they passed me! :poosie:

[footballer]

Do Any teams want to have a practice soccer or ultimate frisbee game? We will book a field at the soccer center if your interested.

[CaptainReboot]

I'm captain of our laser tag team, Orange divison. We play tomorrow night.

[megavolt]

My company got owned at Ultimate Frisbee yesterday... LaserTag is on Wednesday.

CaptainReboot, what company do you play for? I've been the captain of my lasertag team for 5 years now... previous 4 we were in Orange Div... now we're in Red (downsizing).

^ We work in the same building. :D Assuming you work downtown?

Registered for softball this coming weekend. :thumbsup:

[Cowtown_Raider]

We might be the smallest company in CCC with only 16 people! Of course we're in the mini-challenge. Anyone else? Did Torch Relay, Mtn bike race, and Urban Orienteering this weekend (got gold!), then have volleyball and 10km next weekend. Busy week!

It's lots of fun and if your company can join, I encourage you to sign up!
