2018 VIRGINIA BEACH FIREFIGHTER COMBAT CHALLENGE
All teams and individuals who have competed at this Event and have qualified within their category are welcome to attend the FireFit World Championship Finals. See qualifying times below. In order for FireFit to assign BYE's and WildCard spots to International teams you will need to register for the Event you competed in here. Then FireFit will check the results and award the appropriate BYE or WildCard.
How to Qualify
Regional Events from around the world will qualify Teams and Individuals to compete at the FireFit World Championships (FWC).
Teams and Individuals who have placed 1st in their Region will earn a ‘BYE’ onto Final Day of FWC. BYE winners can also compete on upto 2 WildCard Days.
Teams and Individuals who have qualified by meeting qualifying times from their Regional will earn a ‘WildCard’ which allows them to race at FWC on 2 of the 3 ‘WildCard Days’ to try to earn a spot on Final Day.
Relay Teams qualify for FWC by meeting or beating the qualifying time at a Regional Event. Relay Categories will include: Men’s Team, Women’s Team, Mixed Team, Over 40 Team, Industrial Team, School Team.
In these categories ALL members of the team MUST be from the same Department. Men’s, Industrial and School Teams will run in one category. If there are enough Over 40 Teams registered they will run in their own bracket as will Women’s & Mixed Teams.
What if you don’t have enough competitors from the same Department?...
Hybrid Relay Teams – a category for Hybrid Relay Teams, meaning teams with members NOT from the same Department but from the same Country, can be created and will run in their own categories. **A minimum of 6 teams is required in each category (Open Men, Open Women, Over 40 & Over 50) in order for each category to be viable.
