find that some events or challenges may have a fee associated with them
depending on where they are located. We promise, you won't find a
better summer of entertainment at a lower cost than this.
I don't know enough people to create a team but would
still like to participate. Is that possible?
If you are interested in getting matched up with other teammates,
please email
info@columbusyp.org and we will try to introduce you to
others who are interested in competing. We will be having an
information session on June 19th at the CYP Meet Greet and Eat at
Columbus Bar. If you are interested in meeting other
teammates, please join us!
What happens if a team ties for first place?
In case of a tie in points, both teams will be given a Columbus Quiz
with various questions about the Columbus community. The team with the
most correct answers on the quiz will then be the winner. |
