Sportsmanship is required before, during, and after the event. And that includes any branch-to-branch rivalry; let's keep it fun! This is the best sport in the world, let's work together to keep it that way.

EVENT DETAILS:

 

Veteran Open and Auxiliary classes will all complete the initial five events just like any normal strongman competition.

 

IF you are in the Veteran Open class, each branch will compete within their branch to identify their "champion". This will result in a 1st place Marine, 1st place Soldier, 1st place Sailor, etc. Once the champions have been identified (1 each for Male and Female, Lightweight and Heavyweight), the 5 branches will unite behind their champion to cheer them on in the semi-final event: Overhead press medley! Log, Axle, Mouser Block.

Finals will be a Head-to-head matchup of the top 2 from the semis going at the powerstairs to see who will claim AMERICA'S STRONGEST VETERAN 2022!

 

IF you are in any other class (Auxiliary/Guest), we will take the top three in each class: Top three Male Masters 40+, Top three Female Masters 40+, Top three Male Teens, Top three Female Teens, etc. These three will compete in the semi-final Log/Deadlift to find the top 2, then the final Stone Series to determine final placing.

However, please remember this is a Veteran-specific strongman competition: Only the Veteran Open Classes are competing for the title of America's Strongest Veteran.
