• Shocktoberfest utilizes three divisions for most competitions: Men’s Division, Women’s Division, and Co-Ed Division. Events incorporating the divisions award 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each division. All other events are awarded participation points.
  • Groups competing for the Overall Trophy must submit a master roster to be eligible. Rosters are found in the Shocktoberfest Application Packet.
  • Only individuals listed on the team’s master roster will be permitted to participate in events, including participation events, if the group is competing for the overall trophy.
  • Groups may only enter one team in each activity, except basketball where two teams will be allowed, one in the Shocktoberfest participation division and one in the open division.
  • Individuals cannot be on more than one master roster per division.
  • Only groups competing for the overall trophy are eligible to receive the points assigned to each event. Individuals or teams not competing for the overall trophy and only competing in single events are still eligible to win the cash prizes and individual trophies assigned to each event.

    a. Example- Team A, Team B, and Team C are competing for the overall trophy and Team D is not. Team D finishes 1st place in Banner Competition, Team A finishes 2nd, Team B finishes 3rd and Team C finishes 4th. Team D will be awarded the first place trophy for Banner Competition but Team A will receive the 1st place points toward the overall trophy, Team B will receive the 2nd place points, and Team C will receive the 3rd place points.

  • A team does not have to compete in every Shocktoberfest event to be eligible to win the Overall Trophy, but they must compete in Songfest. Points from all events participated in will be totaled to determine the Shocktoberfest Overall Trophy winner in each division and will be presented at the Awards Ceremony following Songfest.
  • Teams placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd in any event will not be eligible to receive participation points in addition to placing points for that event.
  • In the event of a tie for the Overall Trophy in any division, the team with the most 1st place finishes throughout the Shocktoberfest competitions will be named the winner. If a tie remains, then 2nd place finishes will be counted. If a tie still remains, then 3rd place finishes will be counted. If a tie still remains, the team which participated in the most events will be named the winner.
