Each Bed Race team consisted of five people – four pushing the bed, and one riding on it. Teams competed against the clock, two teams at a time, on a 100-yard course. There were six divisions: Fraternity, Sorority, Independent Male, Independent Female, Residence Halls Male, and Residence Halls Female. Entry fee was $25 for the first team, and $20 for each additional team.
Plaques were given to the first place team in each division. A trophy was also given to the overall best dressed team and overall winner.
The Bed Race emcee was Jake Snyder.
Bed Race Rules:
- A five-second penalty will be charged to a team’s time if its bed goes out of the boundaries designated for the race.
- Each team will be paired with another team to compete in the heats. The division will alternate turns. (Competition will be against the clock.)
- The teams with the fastest times in each division will advance to the final competition and race again for the overall title.
- Teams should stay after they race to find out if they race for the overall title. The best times in each division will race again to determine the overall winner.
