Event Rules & Clarifications

1. General Rules:

• Competitors must adhere to standard strongman competition conduct. Any unsportsmanlike behavior will result in disqualification.

• Each event will have a designated time limit, clearly stated before the start. Competitors must complete the lifts within this timeframe.

• The use of lifting belts, knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and chalk is permitted. However, elbow wraps, deadlift suits, and lifting straps will be permitted only in designated events (e.g., axle deadlift).

• Judges’ decisions are final. Any disputes must be brought to the head judge immediately after the event.

2. Event-Specific Rules:

• Viking Press: No excessive leg drive allowed unless otherwise stated. Strict press rules apply.

• Axle Deadlift: Touch-and-go is allowed; however, competitors must fully lock out before beginning the next rep. No sumo stance.

• Sandbag Over Bar: The sandbag must be lifted and fully cleared over the bar for a successful rep. Drops before the bar do not count.

• Titan Stud Bar Hold: The timer starts once the weight is lifted. Any downward movement or dropping of the bar results in immediate time stoppage.

• MAS Wrestling Tiebreaker: The best two out of three rounds determine the winner in the event of a tie.

3. Weight Classes & Scoring:

• Athletes will compete within their designated weight class.

• Overall scoring is determined by a points system: highest placements receive the most points, with rankings based on time, reps, or distance, depending on the event.

• In case of a tie in total points, MAS Wrestling will serve as the official tiebreaker.
