Georgia's Strongest Man is back after a 1 year hiatus. This is a storied event that has seen many amateurs who have gone on to great heights from America's Strongest Man champions, OSG and Professional Strongman League podium finishes and even Giants Live competitors. This year we carry on that tradition while honoring our own Scott Helm's Memorial down in Columbus Georgia!  We're looking to make it even bigger this year with more sponsors, help and hopefully prizes / cash for our competitors. 

PRIZES: 

BEST COMPETITOR - Our judges, loaders and promoters will pick 1 man and 1 woman to be the Best Competitor and Each of these winners will get a $250 check on the spot! The criteria for this is not just their ability as a Strongman but also a person and competitor as they go throughout the day. 

Cash prizes will also be given for each weight class winner that has > 5 competitors in in it at a minimum of $100 payout! 

EVERY competitor will receive a gift bag with tons of goodies from our sponsors as well as a a competition T-shirt. 

Weights posted are NOT FINALIZED, but meant to be place holders to show the caliber of the show. We will do some more testing and confirm soon! Save the date and come compete!

Event 1 - Scofflaw CARRY, Clean and Press for Reps - 

Rules: Athlete start with their hands on the upright keg, they will carry it approximately 30' to a taped pressing area where a judge will be waiting, once inside the pressing area the judge will give a press and then down command. Each rep after the first one the judge will only give a down call. The athlete will have :60 to perform as many reps as possible. The keg will be returned to the ground or crash pad for every rep. 

Scoring: carrying the keg from the start into the pressing area = 1 rep, then the each press will be added to create a total score if carry is completed. Any carry not completed will be scored a zero. 

Equipment: chalk, elbow sleeves, knee sleeves, neoprene shorts, soft belts, wrist wraps are all welcome. Hard belts must be turned around so metal is in back. 

Lockout: feet square and elbows as straight as anatomically possible, athlete must wait for down call, 

Prize: WINNER OF EACH CLASS GETS 1 FREE BEER PURCHASED FROM PROMOTER - you MUST tip bartender... if you are not of legal age... the promoter will drink it for you and then describe the taste. 

Event 2 - Gil's Auto Sales Car SQUAT FOR MEN / DL FOR WOMEN for reps

Rules - two car DL platforms will be set up and facing each other, each weight class will use the same platform / car. The athlete will strap in ON THEIR TIME, AFTER the clock starts and then will have :60 to perform as many reps as possible. 

MEN - you will start at parallel (your height will be taken before the competition starts), when the judge starts the event (whistle or go call) you will lockout the squat and then lower when given a down call. You will not receive any more up calls from there, but if the judge feels that you are unsafely bouncing out of the bottom they have the authority to warn you and then stop your event if you don't listen. 

Women - you will start with your hands off the car DL frame, when the judge starts the event (whistle or go call) you will lockout the deadlift and then lower when given a down call. You will not receive any more up calls from there, but if the judge feels that you are unsafely bouncing out of the bottom they have the authority to warn you and then stop your event if you don't listen.

Rules: Fingal finger will start on the ground completely flat, athlete will start with hands ON the implement. Upon the whistle or go call the athlete will have :60 to flip the Fingal finger over to the other side as many times as possible. The athlete will be instructed on day of contest which side of the Fingal finger to run on to get to the next rep after a successful flip. There will be multiple lanes and this is important for safety. If the athlete goes to the wrong side they will be warned once, if it happens again they zero the event. The athlete is allowed to rest the finger on their shoulder or head during their turn, but judges reserve the right to stop the athlete if they look as though they are going to injure themselves. 

**FOR SAFETY THERE WILL BE A SPOTTER BEHIND THE ATHLETE WITH A WHEEL BARROW & PADDING (OR SIMILAR) TO CATCH THE FINGAL FINGER IN CASE IT IS DROPPED**

Once the athlete reaches the line to drop each implement the judge will alert them. Kegs must be stood upright in the loading area to finish the medley and get a time.

Scoring: number of implements and then distance will be measured for score if not completed. If completed it will be time.
