Upon the start signal from the judge, five team members run from the start/finish line to the dressing area 50’ away.  They put on their boots, coats, and helmets.  After they are completely dressed including three coat buckles fastened, three in a row (top to bottom or bottom to top) or zippers and velcro, and chin strap in place, proceed back to the start/finish line.  The team will remain at the start/finish line with their hands over their heads until checked and released by the judge.  Time is stopped when all five team members have crossed the line.  No powder or lubricants are allowed and coat buckles will not be pre-set.  Shoes will be worn and will not be removed before crossing the dressing line.
