Event Rules
Event 1: The Spaceman Loading Medley
On the "Athlete Ready" command, the athlete will stand in front of sandbag (hands off). On the "Start" command, athlete will lift and carry the first (lightest) sandbag 40 ft down and load to the apparatus. Athlete will then transition to the second sandbag, pick it up and carry it 40ft down and place it on top of the apparatus. Athlete will then transition to the third (heaviest) sandbag, carry it 40ft down and place it on top of the apparatus. Once the last sandbag is loaded and the athlete’s hands are off of the implement, time will stop.

Placement is decided by who finishes the event fastest. If the event is not completed, the distance will be measured for placement.

Athletes have 90 seconds to complete the event. All implements will receive unlimited drops, sandbags may be carried or shouldered. YOU MUST LOAD THE BAGS FROM LIGHTEST TO HEAVIEST.

Once the axle is lifted the athlete must wait for the head judge to give the "Down" command.

The athlete then has the choice to either go up in weight (to the next axle) or continue to add reps to the same axle (must clean each rep). No reps will be given if the athlete presses away.

Once an athlete begins to lift an axle, they are not allowed to move down to a lighter axle.
