Scoring: Athletes will be scored against one another on each event, with the total number of points available per event equaling the number of competitors.                                                                            Example: if there are 12 competitors, then the most points that can be scored would be 12. 1st place would receive 12 points, and last place would receive 1 point. In the event an athlete receives a zero for an event, that place will occupy last place instead of 1 point, they will receive a 0. This means that second to last would then receive 2 points.

Events: Couple of ground rules here that will apply to EVERY event of the weekend no exceptions.  No briefs or suits, Nothing sticky such as tacky, spray tacky, spray adhesive, tacky towel or anything of the like is allowed. Competition shirts MUST be worn at all times.

GLOVES WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED ON ARM OVER ARM TRUCK PULL, NO OTHER EVENTS! 

The rules here are written in a way that “this is all that is allowed” equipment wise. So basically, if it’s listed, you can use it. If it is not listed, you can not use it. This should prevent most of the “well I wasn’t told I can’t” kinds of things and keep everyone on the same page. If you are caught breaking this rule and cheating, you will zero the event. If you are caught cheating twice, you will be DQ’d from the competition.

For every event, when time is called, you are done. Any rep only partially finished will not be counted, same with distance events, if you have not completed the required distance in the allotted time, you will receive a distance for your score not a time.

For every event, athletes will start on a line a few feet from the implement unless noted otherwise. This means ANY strapping in, or maneuvering of implements must be done within the time limit of the event.

ALL EVENTS, WEIGHTS, IMPLEMENTS & RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT PROMOTERS DISCRETION!
