Event RulesAll events will have a 60 second time limit. A 10m track is used for the whole competition. Events and weight details are subject to change. Log Press for RepsAthletes choose their trump weight option. One rep at a heavier weight beats any amount of reps at a lighter weight. All Open, Junior, and Masters logs will be 12"-13". Novice will have the lightest weight on a 10" log.  Deadlift for RepsAthletes choose their trump weight option. One rep at a heavier weight beats any amount of reps at a lighter weight. All bars will be power bars. Sandbag Medley Over YokeUp to four bags are loaded over the yoke. Women load over 44 inches and men load over 48 inches. The lighter bags start further away and the distance gets shorter as the bags get heavier. The bags will be at 10m, 8m, 6m, and 4m. A split time is recorded every time a bag is successfully loaded. If an athlete only completes three bags, their result is the time to the third bag. We do not measure distance on a bag that is not loaded. Trump Farmers WalkThere will be two sets of farmers handles set next to each other. Every athlete begins with the lighter Farmers Walk implements and completes 10m out and 10m back for 20 meters total distance. They can then decide to either continue with the lighter Farmers or move onto the heavier Farmers. With the selected weight they can then attempt another 10m out and 10m back. A time is recorded for every 10 meters completed. After completing the opening 20 meters with the lighter Farmers, reaching 10 meters with the heavier Farmers beats any additional time or distance completed with the lighter Farmers. An athlete that fails to complete at least 10 meters with the heavier farmers will not beat an athlete that completes 10 meters or more with the lighter handles. No drops outside of the safe zone at each end of the course. Max Distance Sandbag CarryThere will be two bags available for the athletes. They choose which bag they want when they are on the floor. If they fail to pick the heavy bag from the ground, they can move down to the lighter bag. Once they actually move with a bag over the start line, there is no going back to another option. To beat every result on the lighter bag, the athlete must complete at least 20m with the heavier bag. If they do not complete at least 20m then athletes carrying the lighter bag further will still place higher. All events, rules, and weights are subject to change.
