Team and Individual Offerings

Triton Games consists of two formats: team and elite individual. These separate groups will each to compete in 10 events to showcase their strength, agility, and mental endurance.

The scoring is simple: whichever Triton has the most points overall will win the glory of being Ultimate Triton.
