Where do I find schedules?

Master Schedules can be found under September Games> Master Schedule.

Divisional Schedules (which only lists the events on the days your division plays) can be found in the following two locations:.

1-) To find out when and where your team plays, go to that event page and click on your Division and select the event that you require the schedule for. Please note that some schedules are by division and some have all divisions listed.

Divisions> Choose your Division > Choose an Event > Schedules

2-) Or you can search for the Divisional Schedules when looking up a specific event.

September Games> Sporting Events> Choose an Event > Schedules

How does the Games Office determine the schedule?

Scheduling over 20,000 participants, from 170+ companies, divided into 6 divisions, for 21 different sporting events is not a task that the Games Office takes lightly.

Teams are randomly placed into the schedule, but we spend a number of hours reviewing the schedules to make them as fair as possible to all teams and division.

The Games Staff do their best to minimize the number of events a division plays in one evening, but sometimes overlap is unavoidable due to venue restrictions.

Unfortunately, no changes can be made to the schedules to accommodate company requests.

How many teams can we enter in each event?

Each company can only enter one (1) team per event. There simply isn't enough time and room in the events to have additional teams play per company. However, you can get more people involved by having alternates play the second game. Please see question below for details.

What is the difference between an alternate and a substitute?

Each event allows for a roster of people who can substitute throughout the game. The minimum and maximum number of players for each event can be found under the Sporting Events main page.

Example: In 3-on-3 Basketball companies can have a minimum of 3 players and a maximum of 6 players to substitute on the court during a game.

Teams will be able to field a totally new team of alternates for different games/matches in the same event if they play another company.

For example, if Team A fields a team of 6 players for basketball for a 6:00pm match against Team B, they can field a totally different team of 6 players for their 8:00pm match against Team C on the same day.

New participants (alternates) must sign the team waiver form already submitted to the registration desk prior to the start of their game time. Waiver forms will be filed alphabetically at the registration check-in desk. If there is a whole new team of alternates, they must fill out a new waiver form.

This rule only applies when teams play a different company. It does not apply to: the Mountain Bike Race, Trivia, Urban Orienteering, or 10K Run. Teams cannot rotate alternates into a game against the same company, except in case of injury.

What are the different divisions for?

Calgary Corporate Challenge has over 170 companies that participate and they are broken into divisions based on employee count. Therefore, companies are participating against other companies that are similar in size. To find out what division your company is in, go to:

September Games> Participating Teams

Where do I find the Rules for my event?

To find out the rules for each Sporting Event, go to the Sporting Event page and click on the Rules tab at the top of the page.

September Games> Sporting Events> Choose an Event > Rules

When are the results posted?

All results will be posted by 12:00 noon on the following day. Results are not updated over the weekends, but will be posted on Monday by 12:00 noon.

Please DO NOT call the Games Office, as the results are all updated and posted manually as quickly as possible.

Where will the results be posted?

The overall results for each division will be posted under:

September Games> Overall Results

All event specific results will be posted on the event page.

September Games> Sporting Events> Choose an Event > Results

Divisions> Choose your Division> Choose an Event > Results

The top 6 teams in each division will always be posted. When possible a complete list of results will be made available. If the full list is not posted, either the results are not available to the Games Office or the information is delayed as the results were captured by a third-party company.

How do I know if my company advances out of their pool in round robin play?

If finals take place on a separate night from your scheduled games, a list of companies advancing will be posted under Results It is players responsibility to check the website for advancing updates.

Please check the entire schedule for your events in advance and be prepared to play through to the finals.

If my team wins, when do I get my medal?

Medal ceremonies typically take place right after the final Gold medal match has been played. The Gold, Silver and Bronze teams will all receive individual medals.

If no one on your company is there to claim the medals, it will be your company's responsibility to contact the Games Office after the September Games and arrange a pick-up or courier.

How does the scoring work?

All teams will receive two (2) points for each Sporting Event in which they register for, including the following Special Events; BDO Dunwoody LLP CEO Challenge, ATCO Gas Torch Relay, Canadian Blood Services Blood Donor Challenge, Heart&Stroke Foundation Big Bike Challenge, KidSportTM Adopt-an-Athlete Challenge, and Elite Sportswear & Awards Game Board. Points are awarded when your company registers for an event on the On-line database.

Teams that DEFAULT from scheduled events will lose five (-5) points and teams that NO SHOW will lose (-10) ten points.

Companies who do not fulfill their Volunteer Requirements will lose (-20) twenty points and may lose their spot in the 2010 Games.

Team points will be awarded for placing in events as follows:

Non-Pool Play Events
1st Place	10 points
2nd Place	8 points
3rd Place	6 points
4th Place	5 points
5th Place	3 points
6th Place	1 point

Pool Play Events
1st Place	10 points
2nd Place	8 points
3rd Place	6 points
4th Place	5 points
5th Place	1 point **

** In pool play format, four teams will end up tied for 5th place in the standings after the single elimination finals. In this case, one point is awarded to each of the four teams.

The company with the most team points in their division wins the overall divisional championship. Second and Third place divisional trophies are also awarded.

For event specific scoring and tie breaking proceedures, please refer to the event specific rules.

If you don't have Company ID, ask your Company Coordinator to help you by adding you to the HR Letter, or finding a suitable form of ID.

You must have a document with your picture and name on it to act as Photo ID (driver's license, security card, etc).

What happens if I forget my ID?

If you do not bring your ID to the event that you are playing, you either can't play (as long as there are enough other people from your company to field a full team) or you can play, but your team will be get a Default (-5 points) and your team cannot advance through to the finals.

Please register 30-60 mins prior to your game time. There are hundreds of people to check in and coming early will ensure a smooth registration for your team.

What happens if no one shows up for the game?

Your team will be given a No Show (-10) for that event. See September Games > Regulations and Policies > Default and No Show Rule for more details.

Default and No Show Rule

Teams that are late, do not meet the male/female requirements, do not have proper ID and/or do not have a complete team at game time, but can still field a team, will default from the event and be deducted -5 points for that event. If there are enough people to field a team, the players may play, but that company will not advance.

It is at the discretion of the CCC Event Coordinator as to the minimum number of people needed to field a team in each event.

No Show (-10)

Teams that no show (do not show up, or cannot field a team) a sporting event that they have registered for, will be deducted -10 points from their overall team score.

Companies that default/no show and accumulate -50 points or more may forfeit their spot in the 2008 Games.

BAD WEATHER AND EVENT CANCELLATION

What Factors are considered in Cancelling an Event?

Participant safety
Volunteer safety
Severity of weather
Likelihood of conditions improving/ declining

Will our event be rescheduled?

Events cannot be rescheduled due to a number of factors including but not limited to; volunteer scheduling, conflicting participant schedules, venue availability, cost, time, etc.

Several measures have been taken to reduce the likelihood of event cancellations, but if Games Staff are forced to make that call, the events will be cancelled. Trust us, after 11 months of planning, Games Staff are the last people who want to cancel an event. We appreciate your understanding in these matters.

The Games Staff report to a Board of Directors throughout the year.

There are also 100 Primary Volunteers who take on key roles and help with the execution of the Games each year. Participating companies also provide up to 1,500 volunteers to help with the on-site duties such as registration, results, course marshals, etc.

CCC sounds like a fun place to work, are you hiring?

How can I volunteer with CCC?

CCC is always looking for good people to join our Primary Volunteer Committee. For more details, please go to:

Volunteers> Primary Volunteers

How does the Games Office pick new events?

There are several factors that are considered when adding or rotating out events in the CCC Games. Games Staff carefully review all of the event surveys at the end of each year and are continuously striving to improve the quality of the Games.

Most events are rotated out if the venue space is lost, participation is low, safety is a concern or another unforeseen obstacle prevents CCC from hosting that event.

Some of the biggest factors that are considered for adding new events are:

Is the event in demand and would our participants enjoy it?
Is there a venue that can accommodate the 170+ teams over a 3-5 day period?
Can CCC afford the venue, or is the venue willing to partner with CCC?
Is the event one that a co-ed team can play?
Are we maintaining a even balance of athletic and non-athletic events?
Can CCC organize the event in a way that is at the same standard as the rest of the events in the Games?
Etc.
