Scoring For Static Monsters ONLY

Your final score is a combined total of your heaviest completed Log Lift and heaviest completed deadlift under the below rules.
The highest total in each division will be declared the winner.
If two totals are the same in any division, the competitor that weighed in the lightest will be declared the winner of that class. If however the competitors are listed as the same weight at the weigh-in, then it will count back to who had the heaviest log lift.
Athlete will still get a score even if they “Zero” one of the lifts.
