Rules & Specifications:

• The referee’s decisions are final - arguing with this will result in disqualification. 

• All lifters will be given 60 seconds maximum on the platform per lift.

• Weigh-in will be permitted the day before or on the morning of the event - details to be confirmed closer to the event. 

• This is a Strongman-style event - as such; sumo is not permitted.

• Conventional deadlift only - hitching permitted. 

• All lifters will be given three lifts on both the log and deadlift - opening lifts must be confirmed with the scoring team by 10 minutes before the event start (preferably earlier).

• If a lifter fails their first attempt at any lift, they may have one (1) more attempt. They will be asked to vacate the platform if this is a failure.

• Suits - straps - chalk - sleeves are all permitted.

• Grip shirts are permitted.

• If you plan on breaking a record, please ensure the team is notified prior to the event starting.

• Open categories are open to all lifters - if a lightweight competitor puts in the best lift of the day, they will win both their class AND the open class. This applied for Masters lifters also.

• After completing a lift (or not!), please promptly give your next nominated lift to the scoring and loading team. Failure to do so may see the head judge selecting the next lift for you (likely whatever the next person wants for ease) 

• The deadlifts will be performed using a Rogue Deadlift bar and Rogue Calibrated plates.

• The log for the men will be the Strength shop riot log (32cm diameter)(47kg Empty).

• The log for the women will begin with a smaller log (21cm diameter)(30kg Empty). Once a woman wants to attempt a weight of 55kg or more the men's log will be used.
