which will try to pass all the events.
The raid will include several events
as Tyrolean traverse, rappel, bearings, kayak
in reservoir, archery, bridge assembly, and team
building practices.
Our own scoring system evaluates
team coordination, times and comradeship. It is
important to establish prizes for instance to
the best team, to the best coordinated, to the
nicest, etc. as an argument to stir up more competitiveness,
which will help to obtain better results from
the events.
