Battle Mile Game

Rules Overview

ACE Battle Mile Game – Team Competitions

The ACE Battle Mile brings teams together in a unique, strategy-driven mile race. Combining speed and teamwork, the competition challenges athletes to give their all on the track.

Game Overview

Each match features two teams of five athletes starting side by side. Additional team members, called Jokers, wait on the sidelines, ready to step in as substitutes. This setup allows teams to switch players, ensuring they can maintain high energy levels throughout the race.

Race Dynamics

The race is tracked in real time, with split times at every 100 meters. Each player’s time is recorded at these checkpoints, allowing teams to monitor their progress relative to the other team. With these live updates, players can adjust their pace based on their team’s position in the race.

Tactical Substitutions

Joker substitutions add an extra layer of strategy. Coaches can replace two runners with Jokers during the race, giving the team fresh energy and an opportunity for a speed boost. These well-timed substitutions can influence the race's outcome and provide a crucial advantage.

Competition Format

ACE Battle Mile follows a tournament structure. Teams earn rankings based on race results and victories, with extra points awarded to winning teams. Top-ranked teams advance to the playoffs, where they compete for the ultimate victory.

The ACE Battle Mile isn’t just about running—it’s about teamwork, strategy, and adapting in real time. This unique event brings a new level of excitement to team racing

Ranking System

Battle Mile Game – Ranking System Overview

In the Battle Mile Game, two teams go head-to-head, aiming for the fastest overall time. While speed is essential, the ranking system incorporates more than just individual times; it rewards consistency, strategic pacing, and smart race management. Here’s how the ranking system works for this exciting, tactical competition:

How Teams Are Ranked:

Teams earn points based on a mix of performance, participation, and strategy. The goal is simple: accumulate the most points by mastering the race’s dynamics and outsmarting the competition.

Key Ranking Criteria:

Performance Points (PP):
- Every team’s base ranking is determined by the total time of their mile racers, pacers, and jokers. The faster the combined time, the more performance points they earn.
- Formula: $PP = 1200 - \text{Total Team Time (in seconds)}$ $PP$ $=$ $1200$ $-$ $Total Team Time (in seconds)$
- Example: A team with a total time of 30 minutes (1,800 seconds) earns 1200 - 1800 = 0 points (which means they need to improve!). The faster the team, the more points they stack up.
Strategic Adjustments (Team Performance Adjusted Points - TPAP):
1. Some races may require teams to hold back and conserve energy, especially if they have multiple events in one day. In such cases, the team’s points can be adjusted using a strategy factor.
2. Formula: $TPAP = PP \times \text{Team Strategy Factor}$ $TPAP$ $=$ $PP$ $\times$ $Team Strategy Factor$
3. Example: If a team uses a conservative strategy in a particular race, applying a 0.5 factor to their points would cut their performance points in half to reflect that race’s lower intensity.
