Re. The Champion of Champions II contest in 2009.
The events will be split over 2 days.
With the amount of competitors we will have and hopefully we will be in a public place. The events have to be quick and visually entertaining.
On the one handed events, half are done with the left hand and half with the right hand. The athlete chooses.
Events
Pinch Pastille Load
Load a 20k, 25k, 30k, 35k, 40k and 45k solid smooth sided discs onto a platform with one hand. Right or left Hand
Reverse Bending
Usual rules. For Champion of Champions we will have maybe 4 athletes on the stage at a time. Everyone uses the same suede wraps that are supplied.
One Hand Duck Walk for 25 metres
Weight 180-200k. For Champion of Champions we will have two athletes walking at the same time. Right or left Hand
Axle Hacklift - Overhand Grip- no hook grip (Last Man Standing format)
Normal Hacklift rules. Reason why we chose the Hacklift was there is no hitching or locking against the thighs at the top.
Two Hands Pinch Lift (Reps in 75 secs)
Normal rules, except for reps. We will probably have some leather on top to stop skin damage.
Tearing Telephone Books/Catalogues
For Champion of Champions we will have maybe 4 athletes on the stage, with 4-5 books and 60 secs to do them.
Dinnie Ring Lift for Reps in 90 secs
The weight of the large stone is 187k (the equipment used must total 187kg inclusive of apparatus), and the smaller stone is 146kg (the corresponding sized rings will be used). Right or left Hand
Vulcan Hand Gripper (Last Man Standing format)
Right or left Hand
Rim Lift Hold for time
Snap in 10mins
Some kind of snap in 10mins, with maybe half the field of athletes on show at the same time.
More info and rules to follow.
There are also a few other events that I will need to see how they work, but these 10 events will be the basis for the Try-Out contest. Equipment has already been purchased and ordered.
