WELCOME BACK AHC COMPETITORS!!!  Y'all remember how fast this comp filled up last year (5 months BEFORE the event)!! Sign up now so you don't miss out.  Athlete order will be based on sign-up order.  If you sign up first, you'll be last in your group.  If you sign up last you'll be first in your group.  

More Details Coming Soon. Same location as last year.  

This competition is held at the American Heroes: Salute To Veteran's Festival in The Colony, TX. This Festival is host to national acts from the Texas/Red Dirt country music charts, a huge carnival, a car show, food and drink vendors, the largest fireworks show in DFW, and the Baddest strongman competition in the STATE!

This is a family friendly event and there is NO CHARGE for spectators! So bring on the support!

This is going to be an EPIC show for our athletes and competitors. We have a ton of exciting information we want to share, but we need to wait for confirmation. We'll update the page as we get it.

VOLUNTEERS:

If you want to volunteer to help please reach out!!!  

If you want to sponsor or know someone who does, pleas reach out!!!

VETERANS:

If you are a veteran DEFINITELY let us know!  We will be doing something special for you guys.  Last year we outsourced this and it didn't work out as well as we wanted.  This year, we will handle it ourselves.  It takes a veteran to take care of veterans... Lesson learned. 

Awards for 1st 2nd 3rd place
Prizes to be announced later.

There are a TON of weight classes right now. WE WILL COMBINE THEM if there aren't at least 4 in a class.  

ALL WEIGHTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. 

• When we get all the implements we will know the exact weights and will update the matrix.  We also need to test all the weights to make sure they're good to go.
• Any changes will be minimal, I don't see any major changes happening, so you can pretty well assume these are the numbers or close to them, with the exception of the viking press.  We won't know the actual weights for this until we get the implements in.  Just train to be as strong as possible in this event, and every event for that matter

We will have two lanes going for all events!

GENERAL RULES

Any judge disputes will be made before the next event starts.  DO NOT go to the judge to dispute it, find the score keeper or director and let them know you want to dispute something.  There must be video from approximately the same angle the judge is viewing the athlete for there to be an overturn in the result. If you interrupt the judge's attention during an event you will be disqualified, interrupting them only causes more chances for bad calls. Once the next event starts, you cannot dispute the call anymore, no exception... read that again, NO EXCEPTIONS!

DO NOT BE AN A-HOLE! If you are being aggressive or crappy to another competitor, volunteer, or judge you will be disqualified and banned from all future TSC events.

NOBODY is to be on the event field unless you are competing, NOBODY! We have photographers and videography available.  We will also have a designated area for your coach/spouse/kid/or photographer to watch.  

NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL ON PREMESIS! There is alcohol available in the beer garden.  This is a rule from the city that is putting on the festival that we have no control over.  

Last but not least YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST have a good time, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
