What is Fab4Frenzy?
Fab4Frenzy offers an exciting new format where 4 people (2 men and 2 women) form a team. There are only 6 teams that participate in a Fab4Frenzy tournament, 24 people. Every point counts in this tournament - the total number of points accumulated determines the order of finish. The number of wins will only come in play if there is a tie in the total number of points. Reporting takes place throughout the event. This is exciting because you can compare your accumulated points to the other teams throughout the competition and continuously know where you stand. This information will be updated promptly and you can view your progress by checking out the charts that will be posted just outside of the gym.
