General Rules: 

• No Strongman Corp or Official Strongman Games grip shirts are allowed.  Non-affiliated shirts (Cerberus, etc.) are fine.
• Typical/customary equipment will be allowed on all events.  Most of it doesn't make much difference, no matter what the sales literature says.
• The 3 R's - Respect the equipment, respect the venue, respect the sport.  Don't abuse the equipment, I paid a lot of money for it.  Clean up after yourself - it's a nice venue and we don't want them to think we're a bunch of unruly pigs.  Don't be a jerk; treat the other athletes, the judges, and the volunteers with respect.  With regard to the latter two, they're here so you can enjoy a fun day participating in a crazy hobby - they are not your slaves.

Event descriptions:  

Monster Bell Medley:  Ladies will be using regular dumbbells with a fat grip handle, Men will be using either a monster bell or 3 Thomas Inch replicas.  Get as many bells pressed as possible within 60 second time limit.  Fastest time wins.  You may clean more than once.  You may clean the bell with two hands, but only one hand may be used to press.  The non-lifting hand must be completely away from the bell before the press begins.  You may bring it back down with two hands.  Seated athletes will lift the bell from a barrel, standing athletes will lift the bell from the ground.  Wrist wraps, belts, and elbow sleeves are allowed.

Sandbag Throw for Distance: There will be three bags to throw of different weights.  These will be Cerberus throwing bags.  Throw will be backwards.  Maximum distance for all three throws will determine the winner.  

Standing - Max Hummer Tire Deadlift:  Opening weights and height TBD.  Waiting on feedback on what tires I can get my hands on.  Pick height will be somewhere between 14" and 18" measured from the center of the bar as the good lord intended.  3 attempts for max weight.  No lifting hooks allowed, except for one-armed athletes using one for the non-functional arm/hand.  All manner of non-hook straps are allowed.  Palms must be in contact with the bar the whole time.  No sumo, this includes no mawashi (Sorry, Tyler).  

Seated - Max Triceps Pushdown:  Athlete will be seated and strapped down to a pushdown apparatus.  3 attempts at max weight.  Weight choices:  90, 140, 180, 200, 250, 290, 340, 380, 400, 450, 490, 540, 580, 630 (we can go higher if needed, but I think that will do it).   

Standing - Stone to barrel:  4 stone series.  No tacky.  60 second time limit.  Gorilla grip tacky towels are OK, spray tacky is OK; I just don't want the venue folks finding globs of spider tack and such in the bathrooms 6 months from now.  

Seated - Side to side stone:  Choice of 3 stones.  Max reps in 60 seconds side to side on barrels.  Weight trumps reps - if athlete A gets one rep at 250 and athlete B gets 20 reps at 200, athlete A wins.

Standing - Husafel carry, max distance:  Three weight choices, weight trumps distance, but you must make it 25 feet to get credit.   Sorry, no heavy weight for 2 inches for the win. Turns at 50 feet, pick from the floor.  No time limit, distance will be measured from the first drop. 

Seated - Arm over arm truck pull: 50 foot course, best time or best distance wins, 2" diameter rope, 60 second time limit.
