This event will feature eight teams of five competitors, with at least one woman on each team. The eight competitors from the Women's Endurance competition will serve as the team captains and will choose their team members in a draft to be held the night before the event. One team member will perform the Speed Climb, one the Stock Saw, one the Underhand Chop, one the Single Buck and the final team member the Standing Block Chop, with the woman on each team being required to perform the Single Buck element.

The teams will compete in a bracketed head-to-head format. Both teams in each bracket will begin the first element at the start of "GO". As the individual members complete their elements they will call "GO" and the second member of their team will then begin their element continuing in this manner until all five team members have completed their elements. The Speed Climb will be performed in the same manner as the individual Speed Climb event and the Underhand Chop, Standing Block Chop and Single Buck elements will be performed in the same manner as the Endurance event. The Stock Saw will begin with the competitors in each bracket performing this element having both of their hands resting on the top of a log. The team in each bracket to complete all five elements in the fastest amount of time will win their bracket.
