The competition is divided into two divisions for ages 11 to 13, and 14 to 16 and operates from August through to the State Championships held in Fremantle at the end of November.

The competition is made up of 11 events, six dry and five wet events using water to hit targets.

All events are time based and help to improve coordination and team work.
