Static Monsters 2027- Rochester NY

THERE IS NO MEMBERSHIP FEE THIS YEAR. However, you still need to fill in a membership form on the website at link below: https://staticmonsters.com/athlete-membership-details/ The Max stone is an optional fun event I add every year so that this isn't just a two lift comp, you aren't required to do it for the worldwide total, however for every person that skips it we will play Audioslaves classic song "Like a Stone" on repeat 3 more times.  Weighins will be from 7:30-8:30 the morning of for the most part, if you're someone who is cutting weight for this event or need to weigh in earlier for work related reasons please reach out and we will do day before weigh ins. LOG LIFT RULES Competitors will have 60 seconds to complete each lift after receiving the judge’s lift signal.The log must be controlled to the ground; throwing or dropping the implements is prohibited and will result in a failed attempt. There is no requirement to return the log to the chest during descent, only to control it to the ground.Any dropped lift results in a failed attempt and no count will be given. Competitors may retry a failed lift within their allocated 60 seconds. If the log has left the floor before the 60 seconds is up, the athlete is allowed to finish the rep.Each competitor is allowed three attempts, as long as within the 60 seconds time limit.Competitors nominate their opening attempt for both events during the check-in.
