Scoring

1. Each heat will follow a similar format to a BLAZE class. 
2. Your team score will be made up of the total distance run on the treadmill (one point per 100m), number of repetitions on strength and combat disciplines within three 3-minute intervals recorded by each team member, based on the specific BLAZE community games Heats workout. 
3. In addition, team members will also be awarded points for time spent in the "red" zone. You will accrue additional points for minutes spent up to and including 18 minutes. Any time spent above 18 minutes will result in ZERO additional points being awarded. 
4. Your MyZone® "red" zone minutes will be taken from the summary tile at the end of the class, as shown on the screens in the studio. In the event of your summary tile is not displaying properly, the minutes spent in the red zone will be taken from your MyZone® app. The instructor’s decision on minutes spent in the red and points awarded is final. 
5. You should always exercise within your own limits. 
6. You must record your own results and hand them to the instructor at the end of the heat. Any team suspected of cheating will be disqualified. The instructor’s decision is final.
