VARIOUS POSSIBILITIES FOR ORGANIZING A DECATHLON-COMPETITION

TWO DAYS COMPETITION

An unlimited number of participants run through 5 tests each day.

INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION

In each game a player meets a different opponent. The pairs for each of the 10 games are chosen by drawing lots. The winner is the player who wins the most games. If there is a draw between two or more players, game 10 is used as a tie breaker.

The coach/educator checks on the pairs to see that two players of a very similar technical, tactical, physical and constitutional level face each other in all 10 games. The winner of the decathlon challenge is the player who wins the highest number of games.

TEAM COMPETITION

Two teams (clubs or schools) compete, both with the same number of players. In each event, a player from one team meets a player from the other team, changing opponent for each of the 10 games. The winning team is the one which wins the most games.

COMPETITIONS OVER SEVERAL DAYS

INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION

Only one of the 10 games will be organized during each training session, and the winner will be sought from amongst all the participants.

If there are fewer than seven players, they will compete against each other until the winner is established.

If there are between 8 and 14 participants, they are divided into two groups, the winners of which meet in the final.

If there are 16 or more players, a knockout tournament is organized, and both the winners and the losers play their final rounds.
