"One athlete from the pair will register the pair. The athlete registering the pair will be designated as the Team Manager.

During the registration process, the Team Manager will select a division and age group, choose a team name, and enter the details for their partner. Once they complete the registration process ... and pay the registration fee, they will be able to invite a potential teammate via email.

The registration fee for each division is US$20."

"Teams have the option to compete in the following divisions:

• Man/Man (M/M)
• Woman/Woman (W/W)
• Man/Woman (M/W)"

"Within each division, pairs will also be grouped based on age. Each division will have four different age groups:

• Open age group: At least one athlete on the team is 34 years old or younger
• 35-44 age group: Both athletes on the team are 35-44 years old
• 45-54 age group: Both athletes on the team are 45-54 years old
• 55+ age group: Both athletes on the team are 55 years old or older"

"Should the pair consist of athletes in different age divisions, the pair will be placed in the younger of the two divisions (i.e., If a 35-year-old athlete and 50-year-old athlete team up, the pair will be placed in the 35-44 age
group)."
