Head to Head puts two athletes side-by-side on identical courses in a double-elimination bracket.
Win your matchup, and you advance in the main bracket.
After your first loss, you move to the comeback bracket for another chance to keep racing. A second loss ends your run in the competition.
Every athlete is guaranteed at least two matchups, giving you more opportunities to race, adjust, and see how far you can go.
Athletes are seeded using their Head to Head Power Score.
If an athlete has competed in fewer than five Head to Head competitions, their H2H and Tier 1 Power Scores are averaged for seeding.
New to Head to Head? Every athlete starts with an H2H Power Score of 1500, so you can jump in and start building your score from your first race.
Head to Head competitions can use Flow or modified Challenge scoring.
In Head to Head Flow, the athlete who progresses the farthest in the fastest time wins the matchup.
In Head to Head Challenge, athletes can retry obstacles, but the clock keeps running while obstacles reset.
The goal is simple: clear more of the course, and do it faster than the athlete beside you.
Head to Head Regional qualification is based on standings where you compete, not your home region.
Compete in Head to Head events in a region to build your standing in that region. The top 32 athletes in each age and gender division in each region’s standings qualify for that region’s Head to Head Regional Championship.
You can qualify in more than one region. If you do, you’ll have multiple Regional Championships you’re eligible to compete in. You may only compete at a Regional Championship in a region where you earned qualification.
The Head to Head Regional Championships are the only pathway to the Head to Head World Championships.
There are 32 Worlds spots available in each age and gender division. Those spots are proportionally distributed among the Regional Championships using a formula based on participation, so the number of qualifying spots available will vary by region.
Compete at a Regional Championship where you’ve earned qualification and finish within that region’s allocated Worlds spots to advance to the Head to Head World Championships.
