The relay ends immediately when one team reaches 41 points, regardless of the current segment.
If neither team reaches 41 after completing all five segments, the sequence restarts from Segment 1 and continues in the same order.
When the combined total of both teams’ scores equals 40, teams switch sides.
Referee App Integration
- The referee uses a mobile app to track points in real time.
- The app will:
- Display the active players for the current segment.
- Notify when it’s time to change players.
- Signal when teams must switch sides (at 40 total points).
- Announce when a team reaches 41 to end the relay.
- The app automatically records each team’s final score for that tie and adds it to the overall team total.
