Get back to the roots of strongman with Sticks and Stones. The event promises to break up the monotony of your usual strongman contests. This is an unsanctioned contest, open to amateurs and pros alike. All skill levels are welcome to come play with sticks and stones. 

Max Log

Athletes will have 60 seconds for each attempt, a total of 3 attempts. You will be afforded all attempts regardless of whether you miss on a previous attempt. Men's log is a 12'' Titan Log, Women's will be a 10'' log. The implement must be lowered under control. Dropping the log from overhead will result in a big fat zero. Listed weights in the matrix are starting weights.

All supportive gear is allowed. No tacky. 

Natural Stone Put

If you've done highland games or shotput, then you know what to expect. Each athlete will be afforded a total of 2 attempts to achieve a maximum distance. The furthest distance will go towards your score. To perform this, you may either remain planted for the throw or spin. The throwing area from which you will throw will be painted on the ground and will measure 4ft 6in wide and 7ft 6in long. The distance shall be measured from the edge of the throwing box to the center of impact of the stone. You will have 30 seconds per attempt. 

All supportive gear is allowed. No tacky.

Fingal's Fingers

Athletes will be given 60 seconds to achieve as many reps as possible with the implement. The length of the finger in weights will be determined and published. 

All supportive gear is allowed. No tacky.

Stone Front Hold

Assert your dominance over gravity. Athletes will be given a non-natural (but not atlas) stone to hold out front. You will perform this event with your back and hips placed firmly against a solid surface. Time ends when the implement can no longer be held up, or if your hips come off of the wall. This is an important note, so prepare accordingly! 

Timber Drag

Athletes will have 60 seconds to complete the course. You will drag the timber for 100ft with no turns, and the entire implement must cross the line, at which point time will be called by the judge. Determination for the course is still in planning, so for now, prepare for either grass or asphalt.  The handle will be a close grip handle attached to chains. 

Heger Stone

Unlike your normal atlas stone event, you will be afforded your stones in any order. Say for instance your stones are 100/200/300. If your opponent completes 3 reps with 100lb, and 2 reps with 200 and is in first. If you complete even a single rep with 300, you overtake first place and bump them to second place. Another example with the same weights. If your opponent only manages one rep with the stones and it's the 300, if you also do a rep with 300 and then do a rep with 200, you win the higher point placing. 

All supportive gear is allowed.
