Event 5: Frozen Boulder Throw

Fastest Time

Time Limit: 60 seconds

Atlas Stone Load. Men 52 inch women 48 inch. This is stone over bar for reps. Once stone goes over the bar and lands on the mat the loader/helper will roll the stone back to you. Be prepared to catch the rolling stone it will take up your time to chase the stone. On that token throwing the stone at the loader/helper will make them take longer getting the stone back to you and the time doesn't stop because you threw it. If you're strong enough you should have full control over the stone. Tacky is to be cleaned outside only in the designated cleaning area. Do not use the bathrooms to clean off tacky. Bring your own Tacky and cleaning supplies.

Items Allowed: Belts, Tacky, stone wraps

People recording points are not to be asked questions or bothered. If you or even a person you are with speaks to or harasses the score keepers you will zero the event in question. There will be 1 warning at the rules meeting and not another. They are putting in points based on what the judges tell them to. Speak to the judge you had for the event in transitions to next event if you have an issue. Video evidence is the easiest way to handle a situation. In the end unless evidence is brought forth the judges have final say.
