Registration begins February 19th and closes February 26th. 
The “madness” will start on March 3rd!

Step 2: Earn and Keep Track of your Individual Points!
Individual team members will earn points by completing daily wellness activities, and record them on their individual tracker cards.

Step 3: Tally your Team Points!
Each week team members will total their individual points to come up with their teams weekly score.  (Similar to the Destination Challenge!)
Teams will keep track of their points by filling in their Team Tracker Chart weekly. (Will be provided after registration—example tracker attached)
Each Friday the team captain will submit their team’s score at ucwell4life@gmail.com

Step 4: Follow the Brackets!
Your team will be competing against other participating teams to move up in the brackets. New bracket results will be posted each Monday morning via email as well as on the Well4Life blog at www.utahcountywell4life.blogspot.com. No team will be eliminated, but rather moved to another bracket.  Winners of each bracket will be qualified to move up in the bracket, win some cool prizes, and gain office glory and fame.
