If splitting reps of an exercise, partners must share the same equipment (barbell/sled/dumbbells, etc). Teammates can not move ahead to the next exercise/obstacle until the previous one is fully completed. For obstacles, if the first teammate designated to complete the obstacle fails, the next attempt must be from the start of the obstacle. There is no help from teammates allowed on obstacles. The Cargo Net, Small Wall Hurdles, 10' Wall, and Angled Walls must be completed by both teammates. For Competitive Doubles Teams, both teammates must wear the Competitive Athlete wrist band.
