EVENT RULES and INFORMATION 

EVENT 1 – YOKE PRESS - Athlete will start with hands on the implement and can wear any protective equipment they choose. Athlete will have 60 seconds to press as many reps with the yoke as possible and can use any PRESS style they want to complete the press. The judge will give a down command, feet must come square, arms locked out and head through to get a completed rep and down command. Athlete can choose to set the yoke down every rep or hold onto it at chest height before pressing again. Rep must come down below the chin before yoke going back up. Most reps completed wins.  Yoke will be a regular rogue yoke and weighs 185lbs empty. Some classes will use a smaller yoke that weighs 85lbs empty. 

EVENT 2 - CAR DEADLIFT – Athlete will have 60 seconds to deadlift as many reps with the car as possible. Athlete will be strapped in ready to go prior to deadlifting. Athlete can use any protective equipment they want including a suit, straps, and can go no shoes if they want. The style of car is TBD and will be announced at a later date. Athlete will be giving a down command when rep is locked out, when bar goes down, the judge will give a quick up command when the car deadlift frame touches the floor. *For some classes the handles may be elevated more. We will test it and go from there.  Handles will be a side handle pick roughly 13" pick. 

EVENT 3 – FRAME CARRY FOR MAX DISTANCE – Athlete will start hands on the frame at the starting point. Frame will start behind the line, and athlete will carry down a 50 foot course back and forth as many times as they can to gain the most distance as possible. Frame needs to just cross the line on either end, stop, drop the frame, turn around, re-pick and go back down the 50 foot course. Athlete will not be allowed to try turn the frame while reaching the other end, they must set it down and re-pick. All protective equipment is allowed, except no straps. IF the frame is dropped inside the 50 foot course, the time will stop and a distance will be taking from there. Let me say that again in a different way, no drops allowed within the 50 foot course, you can only drop the frame at the end when coming back down the course. Max distance within a 60 second time limit. 

EVENT 4 - ** CAR YOKE – Athlete will start the car yoke bumper at the line and go down a 50 foot course. When front of the car yoke crosses the finish line the time will stop. There is a yoke style bar inside the car and not the car yoke straps. The yoke height will be picked prior of the comp, so come in early to get that in. Athletes can wear any protective equipment they choose and a spotter will be near to help the athlete get in and out of the car. If Car yoke was not carried to the finish line, a distance will be kept. Women and Novice will use a regular rogue yoke as the car yoke will be to heavy empty. 

EVENT 5 – STONE OVER BAR – Athlete will pick a stone from the ground and put it over the yoke. Once stone is over the yoke, a spotter will push the stone back to you so you can repeat the stone over the yoke. Athlete will have 60 seconds to put stone over bar for as many reps as possibly. All classes will be at 48" yoke height!
