EVENTS AND EVENT ORDER

AXLE CLEAN AND PRESS

This will be a max rep in 60 seconds event.  You will clean and press away for as many reps as possible. You may set the weight down between reps if you want to, but it is not required.  Athlete will start with hands OFF the implement.  Athlete must have both arms locked out, head pushed through, and feet relatively parallel to each other.  You may clean and press the weight with any technique (yes, belt cleans are ok. so is every version of the jerk, split jerk, push press, etc..) , Must wait for the judges down command.  Must wear either comp shirt or grip shirt. Absolutely no dropping or slamming the weight.  If it's on accident, you get a Zero on the event, if it on purpose, you get DQ's from the contest. 

CONAN'S WHEEL

This will be a max distance in 60 seconds event.  You will walk with the implement as far as you can without dropping it. Athlete will start with hands OFF the implement. On the judges Go command, you will pickup the implement and walk in a circle as far as possible without dropping it.  As soon as the implement touches the ground your attempt is over (yes, if you pick it up and drop it 1" forward, you will get a distance score of 1").  Must wear comp shirt or grip shirt.

13" AXLE DEADLIFT

This will be a max rep in 60 seconds event.  Athlete will begin with hands OFF the implement.  On the judges Go command, you will perform as many deadlifts as possible in 60 seconds.  Knees, Hips, and shoulders (or back, however you visualize it in your head) all locked out.  Must wait for judges down command. No touch and goes, must wait a split second before performing your next deadlift.  Must wear event shirt. Yes, all straps are ok.

FINGAL FINGER

*** UPDATE ***     *** UPDATE ***     *** UPDATE ***     *** UPDATE ***     *** UPDATE ***     *** UPDATE ***     *** UPDATE ***

We were able to get 3 fingers, so this will be a 3 finger flip for time.  This does 2 things for us...

1. It will speed up the comp to get everyone out of there in a reasonable time.
2. IMO, it's more fun to run a series (like the big shows we see on tv) than it is to run back and forth.

This will be an event where the fastest time wins.  Athlete will start with hands OFF the implement.  On the judges GO command, the athlete will clean the finger and walk it hand over hand until it tips and falls to the other side. The athlete will then continue on to the second and third fingers and repeat the process as fast as possible. Must wear event shirt, Gloves are ok.

FRAME CARRY

This will be a carry for time event.  Athlete will start with hands ON the implement.  On the judges GO command, the athletes will pickup the frame and carry it to the finish line as fast as possible.  The course will be marked in quarters.  If you don't make it to the 1/4 mark you will get a 0.  If you are anywhere between the 1/4 and 1/2 mark you will get a .25 score.  If you are between the 1/2 and 3/4 mark you will get a .5 score.  If you are between the 3/4 and the finish line you will get a .75 score.  If you finish, you will get 1 score with a time.  Must wear event shirt
