Welcome back to our 4th Annual Tournament of Titans show.   We are excited to co-host with Anthony San Lorenzo and take you to a brewery! Due to our location and time constraints, we decided to make this a 4 event show.  This is an Open Class only show.  No novice.  This WILL be a very fast-paced show.

As some of you know, we are hosting Nationals in 2024 here in Denver; this will be your chance to compete on the equipment we will be using for Nationals at a lighter weight. 

So come ready to lift heavy if you want to take home a title from one of Denver's heaviest strongman shows.  

Podium winners of each class will earn an invite to USS Nationals 2024.  1st place winners will also win a day pass to Elitch Gardens.  1st - 3rd will receive trophies as well.  If you know this show, you'll certainly want to earn the 1st place trophy.

NOTE - Any athlete seen drinking will be removed from competing.  No exceptions, save the fun for after we are done so we can all enjoy together!

EVENT RULES

EVENT 1: SLATER CIRCUS DUMBBELL FOR REPS

Equipment Allowed:  Chalk, Wrist Wraps, Elbow Sleeves, Knee Sleeves, Warmer Shorts, One Soft Belt, One Hard Belt, Competition Grip Shirt

Time Limit: 60 seconds

Scoring: Max Reps

On the start command of the judge, the athlete will have 60 seconds to complete as many clean and press each rep as possible.  The bell can be cleaned with two hands, but the supporting hand must be removed before the athlete begins the press.  The judge will give a down command for a good rep. If a down command is not given and the athlete drops the bell, no rep is given.  A down command will be given when the athlete has pressed the bell overhead and has a locked elbow, standing straight up and down, squared feet, has control of the implement, and looking at the judge.  If any athlete has an elbow lockout issue, it is their responsibility to notify the judge before the event on their turn.  Once the athlete gets a down command, they must have the bell touch the floor before beginning the next press attempt.  The bell can be dropped overhead but MUST be done with control and guided to the floor.  A "tree drop" will result in a ZERO for the event.  Please respect the equipment.  The bell must be dropped on the stall mats.

EVENT 2: POWER BAR DEADLIFT

Equipment Allowed: Chalk, Wrist Wraps, Elbow Sleeves, Knee Sleeves, Warmer Shorts, One Soft Belt, One Hard Belt, Competition Grip Shirt, Straps, Deadlift Suits, Deadlift Briefs

Time Limit: 60 Seconds

Scoring: Max Reps

The athlete will start standing 5 feet behind the barbell.  On the start command of the judge, the athlete will strap into the barbell (if using straps) and begin pulling.  Judges will be giving an Up and Down command.  No touch-and-go reps.  Athlete will be given a down command once a good rep is completed. Judges are looking for shoulders back, hips through, and knees locked.  If the bar is dropped before the down command, no rep will be given.  If the bar is lifted before the up command, no rep will be given.  No finger-tipping the bar while using straps.  Deliberately dropping the barbell from the top will result in a ZERO for the event. Please respect the equipment. This event will be ran using a stiff bar.

EVENT 3: YOKE WALK TO SANDBAG MEDLEY 

Equipment Allowed: Chalk, Wrist Wraps, Elbow Sleeves, Knee Sleeves, Warmer Shorts, One Soft Belt, One Hard Belt, Competition Grip Shirt

Time Limit: 60 Seconds

Scoring: Distance/Time

The athlete will get set in the yoke. On the start command of the judge, the athlete will pick up the yoke and carry it 40 feet down (the entire implement must cross), run back shoulder the sandbag and run it back and pick the sandbag and bring it to their shoulder.  Once the bag is shouldered, the athlete will carry it down to the yoke and load it over the crossbar. ** Sandbag must be shouldered.  Time is counted when the bag hits the ground after being loaded.  

EVENT 4: STONE OVER BAR 

Equipment Allowed: Tacky, Stone Sleeves, Elbow Sleeves, Knee Sleeves, Warmer Shorts, One Soft Belt, One Hard Belt, Competition Grip Shirt

Time Limit: 60 Seconds

Scoring: Max Reps

Athlete will start with hands on the crossmember of the yoke.  On the start command of the judge, the athlete will have 60 seconds to pick and load the stone over the bar for as many reps as possible.  The bar will be 48" for women and 52" for men.  There will be a catcher feeding the stone back to the athlete.  If the stone is thrown at the catcher in an uncontrolled manner, the catcher will ensure their own safety.  So if the stone rolls away, that still counts against your time.  Hands are not allowed to be placed on the yoke to chest bump over the bar.  Athletes are allowed to wear a non-comp shirt for stones or go shirtless if they choose to.  There will be a tacky area where athletes must apply and remove their tacky. Not removing tacky in the designated area will result in an AUTOMATIC disqualification.
