RULES

• Athlete has 60 seconds to press a solid axle above their head as many times as they can for reps
• Clean and press every rep.
• This event is scored by reps.
• All reps MUST be controlled down to the ground. No tree topping or letting implement drop from overhead or you will receive a 0 for the event
• A good rep will have the athletes arms over head, head through, elbows locked, hips through and knees locked. If athlete is jerking the bar; they must return their feet to a neutral position
• Allowed: wrist wraps, sleeves, grip shirts, belts (must be turned around if they have a metal clasp so as to not ruin the implement), chalk
• Not Allowed: grip shirts from any other federation, liquid chalk, tacky, tacky towels, tree topping from above, belt cleans (anything that touches your belt for longer than 1 second is considered a belt clean for this show….judge has final ruling on this).

Husafell Carry:

• Athlete has 90 seconds to pick a husafell stone from the ground, carry it 50' and then carry it back 50'
• The athlete may begin with their hands on the implement but cannot pick until the judge gives the "lift" command
• This event is scored via distance and time (if the athlete does not complete the 50’ walk within the time limit, a distance will be measured).
• Athlete must carry it out in front of them and it may not rest on the belt  (no overhead or shouldering of the implement)
• If the athlete throws the husafell to gain distance, they will be given a zero for the event
• No drops allowed
• Athletes front of their foot must cross the line at both 50' lines to turn or complete the run (one foot is fine)
• Allowed: Chalk, wrist wraps, sleeves, belts (turn them backwards if there is a metal clasp), gloves and grip shirts OK (no SC/OSG shirts)
• Not Allowed: NO Tacky, no liquid chalk

Car Yoke: 

*EDIT TO EVENT: We have been doing extensive testing of this event for the past 6 months. The yoke cross bar was causing injury to the individuals testing it due to the bounce from the tires. Since drops ARE allowed and to ward against injury; I made the decision to change the cross bar to a strap set up. I understand many of you have been training on a yoke set up but your safety and that of the show needs to be a priority for me.

That being said, the layout of that event will now be adjusted to accommodate for this change. All athletes will have the option of a car OR a regular yoke. So if you do not feel comfortable lifting the car via straps, you can still gain points with a yoke. During rules I will review the specifics but just know that the car will give you more points than a yoke so that those athletes choosing the heavier/more difficult option don’t get penalized for their efforts.

• Athlete may start within the car under the straps or under the yoke but may not stand until the judge gives the "lift" command
• Athlete has 60 seconds to pick a yoke or a car to the 50' line
• The front of the vehicle or front of yoke must cross the 50' line to count
• Two drops allowed. This will begin once you have taken your first step. If you pick the car or the yoke and stand and do not feel it is centered, you may place it down and pick again. That will not count as a drop.
• Allowed: Chalk, wrist wraps, sleeves, belts, gloves and grip shirts OK (no SC/OSG shirts)
• Not Allowed: NO Tacky, no liquid chalk

Stone of Steel over Bar : 17” stone for women, 20” stone for men. 

• Athlete will have 60 seconds to pick the stone of steel from the floor and load it over the bar.
• Athlete may not rest the stone on their check and grab the uprights or cross bar to leverage the stone over
• Bar height 46” for women, 48” for men.  
• A volunteer will roll the stone back to the athlete.
• This event is scored by reps.
• Allowed: tacky towel, chalk, any standard strongman supportive equipment you need (sleeves, wraps etc).
• Not allowed: tacky, liquid chalk, grabbing the crossbar or uprights to push the stone over the bar, throwing the stone at volunteer....show control to the best of your ability

Car Deadlift: 

• Athlete will have 60 seconds to deadlift the car for as many reps as possible.
• This is a side handle car deadlift set up; athlete must face out
• This event is scored for reps
• A good rep has the athlete's hips, knees, and shoulders locked out and getting a "down" command from the judge. NO TOUCH AND GO ALLOWED! Athletes will lower the rig down to the ground and wait for a "lift" command to start the next rep
