-EVENTS-

1. Circus Dumbbell for Reps

Equipment: 1 Belt, Elbow Sleeves, Wrist Wraps, Knee Sleeves, Shoes

Rules: Competitors may stand with hands placed on top of the dumbbell, but not on the handle. When the whistle is given to start, competitors may grab the handle and clean the dumbbell to a chest position to press. The competitor MUST CLEAR the opposite hand before beginning the press. Once the dumbbell is fully locked out, you will receive a down command. The competitor MUST control the dumbbell down to the platform to begin another rep. The dumbbell MUST touch the platform to start another attempt. 

2. Crucifix Carry for Distance

Equipment: 2 Belt Max, Elbow Sleeves, Knee Sleeves, Neoprene Shorts, Shoes

Rules: Competitors may stand with hands placed on top of the crucifix. When the whistle is given to start, competitors may pick up the implement and begin carrying in a straight line. The course will be 30 feet long and there will be cones to clear and go around on each end. Competitors are allowed only one drop of the crucifix before time is called. When the whistle is given for the end of the round, the distance will be counted from where the competitor is standing -NOT WHERE the crucifix lands. 

3. Tire Flip - 30 Feet

Equipment: 2 Belt Max, Elbow Sleeves, Knee Sleeves, Neoprene Shorts, Shoes

Rules: Competitors may stand with hands placed on top of the tire.  When the whistle is given to start, the competitor may get into the flipping position and begin the event. Competitors will flip the tire for a distance of 30 feet and back. Once ANY part of the tire touches the 30 foot line, the competitor may turn around and flip toward the start line. Time stops when ANY part of the tire touches the start line. 

4. Sandbag Over Yoke for Reps

Equipment: 2 Belt Max, Elbow Sleeves, Knee Sleeves, Neoprene Shorts, Shoes - NO TACKY

Rules: Competitors may stand with hands placed on top of the yoke bar.  When the whistle is given to start, the competitor may grab the sandbag and load it over the bar. Competitors will move to the other side of the yoke and load the sandbag to the other side and continue this pattern until time is called. 

5. Sandbag Cornhole

Equipment Allowed: NO TACKY/NO BABY POWDER

Chalk

Mouthguard

Wristwraps

One Layer of Elbow Sleeves

2 Belts: 1 soft, 1 hard - no built up belts

Knee Sleeves

Shoes

Time Limit :60 Seconds

Rules: Competitors may stand with hands placed on top of a sandbag. When given the start command or whistle, competitors will lift a  throwing style sandbag and swing and throw it to a giant cornhole board. Competitors may swing from between the legs or launch from the chest. Competitors MAY NOT spin and swing (for safety reasons) toward the board located 10-15 feet away. This is a new event, so we will do some compliance testing this summer for accuracy.  Competitors will have 3 throws per turn in 60 seconds. The scoring will be counted as pounds toward a total. The bags that land ON the board will count as the weight x 1. The bags that land IN the hole will count as pounds x 3. For example: If a competitor gets the 25 pound bag ON the board, and the 35 and 45 pound bags in the hole, those pounds will be multiplied x 3 for a total of 25+105+135=265 pounds. If a bag lands on the floor it is counted as 0 pounds. If a competitor steps over a line during a throw, 0 pounds will be given for that throw. You get 1 throw only per bag and you may NOT pick up a bag that didn’t hit the board to try again.   Competitors will be given 15 second reminders at 45, 30 and 15 seconds. 

Causes for Disqualification:

Vulgar Language towards Judges and Volunteers

Not following directions by judges

Spinning to throw the sandbag

Stepping over the line

General Rules

Competitors will conduct themselves in a safe, respectful and responsible manner. Competitors will respect the judges and volunteers for all of their hard work. Any behavior that is deemed inappropriate by the show host will result in one warning and after one warning, the competitor will be asked to leave the arena. Inappropriate actions include, but not limited to - intentional drops, hitting striking or misuse of equipment (don't’ throw a temper tantrum) yelling obscenities (this is a family fair). Please remember to thank your judges and volunteers. If you can be safe, respectful and responsible - you can stay in the show - if not - you gotta go!
