RULES

~ During the contest if any athlete needs to contest a call, or if a judge made what they believe to be an error, the athlete (and only the athlete) will need to bring a video to review with the appointed head judge or event director for review. This person will review any video footage and make a final call. At no time should any athlete, or athlete representative approach the score keeper, or the score keeper table with any questions. 

Athletes will be reordered after each event based on results of event. For the final event, athletes will be reordered based on contest standing. The first event order will be based on when athletes signed up for the event. Last to sign up will be first to go. ~

#1 - Wagon Wheel Axle Bar Clean and Press 

(Ground to Overhead For Max Reps in :60)

Athletes will stand behind the bar and start with hands off the implement. Athletes will wait for command, "Athletes Ready, Take your Mark, GO" . Upon hearing command, athletes will proceed to Clean & Press Implement Overhead. Upon pressing the Axle Bar with Wagon Wheels overhead, they will maintain their overhead position until they are given a DOWN command (Verbal and Visual) from their judge after observing a good lockout from the Athlete. A good lockout consists of athlete showing overhead control of the implement, both arms locked out, feet parallel and not in a split position, (hips extended and "stacked" over knees and ankles). If athlete "jumps" the command and lowers the bar before the down command, they will be given a no rep. 

Athlete can attempt to re-press from the shoulders if their attempt to lockout a press failed. After a successful lockout, athletes will lower the bar under control to the ground to begin their next rep. Athletes may not bounce the bar from the ground back into their hands.  Bars may not be on top of the head. Control must be maintained of axle and must not be dropped from overhead. No Reps will be given for athletes (deemed purposefully) dropping bars from overhead.
