This is all new to me... as a parent of a freshman at a SMC. I don't know either, if people go to watch; just looking for more info about the event itself. I did find out that it includes the following:
Map Reading
PT test
Hand Grenade Assault Course
One Rope Bridge
M16 Dissassembly/Assembly
Orienteering
10k Force March
sounds pretty fun!
His understanding is that traditionally they would include at least one MS I but he heard that may do away with this requirement.
thank you! this meant a lot for him especially since he made a promise to himself that he would not have anyone speaking behind his back "why did such a bozo get the expensive 4 year scholarship?"
Out of ~60 freshmen cadets that joined the program, he is the only 4 years scholarship cadet. There were a few more that CC awarded the scholarships to but they were not admitted to the school, and CC did not back fill the slots (we all heard about it: the budget issue!).
It looks like he is on his way to make good on the promise he made to himself.

is this your battalion's way of formally launching the team? Or, is this already part of the competition?
What does "competition" mean? Is it like Olympics, where opposing teams are getting together to have a meet (track) or a match (like a volley ball). Or, is it the case that each team comes to the site on a weekend assigned to them, do the deed, and at the end of the season, the scores of all the teams are compared? So, in this case, no actual, live, real time competition among the teams?
Just curious. My son made it to the alpha team as a MS I this year.
