    Final standings

    1st = 3 points · 2nd = 2 · 3rd = 1 · 4th = 0. Ties share the points. Five workouts scored women and men separately, so 16 scores and 48 points were up for grabs.

    01 / The teams

    Four camps. Six athletes each.

    Three of the sport's most respected training camps and one wildcard squad with something to prove. Every team brought three women and three men who competed for each other. No solo leaderboard: team versus team, all weekend.

    Team captain

    02 / The captains

    One woman. One man. Leading each camp.

    Captains steered strategy all weekend and closed it out together in the final workout, Rope Randy, Sunday night at the Gymreapers Arena.

      What's on the line

      $214,000 in prize money.

      All four camps got paid, and the MVP award came on top: $204,000 to the teams plus $10,000 for the MVP.

      03 / The formats

      Six ways to test a team.

      Every workout used one of six formats, so no camp could lean on one star. Depth, strategy and who a camp sent out all mattered.

      All six athletes compete on their own. Their scores add up to the team's score.
