2010 Battalion Assignments FAQ
Detailed below is the 2010 Scott Firefighter Stairclimb Battalion Assignment System for each registered firefighter. The top 100 racers from 2009 are given automatic placement in the first and second battalion heats. All other participants will be sorted into the different heats randomly, with individuals who fundraised in 2009 receiving priority placement in the earlier battalion heats.

Per the usual rule, no more than two members of any given department may participate in the same battalion heat. This rule is applied to ensure your bottle changer is not overwhelmed on Floor 40, and to offer equal opportunity across the board to all departments for battalion assignments.

What if I have a conflict with my assigned battalion heat?
If you have a conflict with your assigned battalion heat, you are responsible for asking another member of your department to switch battalion assignments with you. Your Team Captain will then need to facilitate the change, authorizing us to switch the two spots in the battalion database for roll call purposes.

How does this process work?
Once battalion assignments are posted online, your Team Captain will need to contact Kris Howard by email (kristen.howard@lls.org) to facilitate the change. Each Team Captain will receive a confirmation that the change / switch has been made. Battalion changes will not be accepted after Friday February 26th, 2010. 

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The purpose of allowing team members to switch battalion assignments is to allow participants some flexibility if they have a major conflict with their assigned time. For instance, it is their daughter's college graduation and they can't make it to the competition until after 3pm. These requests should be few and far between.

Last year, almost half of our registered departments made multiple changes, multiple times to group together close friends in the same heat, to move faster runners to earlier heats etc. While we completely understand the reasoning behind this, we cannot accommodate these types of switches for 2010. Last year, we had several hundred swaps that were implemented prior to and on race day, which led to confusion for firefighters regarding their scheduled heats and difficulty for our race volunteers in getting updated battalion heat information to both the start line and rehab floor in a timely manner. Thank your for your understanding and support.
