Velox 1 is a team-based, winner-take-all track & field competition built on our signature Race Roulette format. Every split-second choice counts—read on to master the mechanics.
Teams earn—or lose—points based on each athlete's finish. Every placement matters in the overall competition.
Races are drawn at random and unveiled just before the starting gun. No advance preparation, pure adaptation.
Teams must choose their runner on the fly, adapting instantly to each reveal. Split-second decisions determine success.
Once an athlete races, they're ineligible for the rest of that competition. Strategic roster management is crucial.
Every round features a relay race—points that can swing a team's fate. The ultimate test of coordination.
Try the Race Roulette yourself and see what teams might face in the next event. Every spin reveals a new challenge.
32 teams vie in two rounds: pool play and the final. In Round 1, teams are split into four pools of eight; the top two from each pool advance. The final round pits those eight qualifiers against each other for the championship.
Each team fields 10–12 athletes in single-gender divisions. That roster size covers eight competitors in pool play or nine in the final—leaving 2–4 reserves for tactical substitutions.
The first stage: four pools of eight teams each compete in five Race Roulette events (one relay included). Five races require eight athletes per team—leaving 2–4 bench spots on a 10–12 roster for strategic depth. After all races, the two teams with the highest point totals in each pool advance to the final round.
The championship stage: the eight teams advancing from pool play face six Race Roulette events (one relay included). Six races require nine athletes per team—leaving just 1–3 reserves on a 10–12 roster for critical last-minute strategy. The team with the highest total points at the end claims the title and prize pool.
If teams finish tied on points, each must blind-pick one athlete—before knowing which event awaits. Once selections are locked, Race Roulette reveals a single event at random. The two chosen athletes go head-to-head, and the victor breaks the tie.
