“Survival of the fittest” which is part of the GG series will be at our gym. The links above are for our February main event
Here’s the run down.
This event will be unlike any other. You will compete in a heat of 10 in 3 WOD’s that eliminate the slowest/weakest each round. The winner will be the one that places the highest i all 3 WOD’s for all the heats.
Details
Currently the start time is set for NOON. This will move to an earlier time as we get more folks registered. So keep an eye on it.
4 Levels of competition
Advanced and Open Divisions for both Male and Female Competitors
[There's something here for everyone one.]
Open division will be scaled and subed. Ex: HSPU become Push Ups, 135# becomes 95# etc
Heats:
To determine your heat placement, each competitor will do the following for reps before the event. You will have to email me your results:
for lack of a better name this will be called “heat WOD”. No rest between exercises. Do them back to back with a running clock.
- 1min of Pull ups
- 1min of Sit ups
- 1min of Push ups
- 1min of Squats
- 1min of Dead-Lifts (275/165 advanced; 205/125 open)
You will compete in a heat against folks that have similar scores in these 3 areas.
Scoring:
At the conclusion of the Survival of the Fittest, the overall winner will be the person with the lowest score not only in their own heat but verse all others. Places will be determined per heat also in like manner by adding up your finishes in each of the 3 WODs. Thus you could win your heat but not be the overall winner.
In the case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the single best finish. If there is still a tie, then they will arm wrestle for 1st place.
Each heat will have 3 WODs thus 3 placings for everyone. The places in each WOD will look like this: 1,2,3,3,5,5,7,7,9,9. since 2 are eliminated each time.
You will add your place from each WOD to find your placement in your Heat. This score will be compared to other Heats to find the overall winner.
The goal is to have the 1st place person finish in the 15-25 min time domain, with
a total max time of 25 min.
Example:
In heat 1, 10 folks start. (We will have as many heats as needed of 10 same sex same level competitors with similar “heat WOD” scores.)
They perform 2 exercises back to back (ex WOD1 – 800m & situps). The slowest 2 are eliminated for the rest of WOD 1, but they cant just walk away. The eliminated must do 10 burpees for each exercise, while the others compete. So they don’t get total rest when eliminated.
To continue the example, as soon as the 8th person is finished with the 800m/situps, we walk to the burpee/pull up station and I yell 3,2,1 GO!. That’s right the 8th person gets no rest. If you want rest, go faster. While the 8 are doing burpee/pull ups, the other 2 do their 10 burpees. As soon as the 6th person finishes, the last 2 are eliminated and those 6 move to cleans. The first 4 move on to box jumps, while the rest do their 10 burpees. Then the first 2 to complete the box jumps move on to a 400m sprint. The first one back wins.
Each group of exercises has a time limit of 5 minutes. Meaning the 800m + 40 situps has a 5 min time limit. If the first 8 are done before 5 minutes, then we just move on. But if 5 minutes elapses while folks are WODing, then the top rep getters move on.
at the completion of WOD1, a clock will start counting off 2min, then
3,2,1 GO! for WOD 2, everyone in heat 1 is back in to compete.
repeat for WOD3
Judging:
There be 1 time keeper/judge per heat and wod and he/she will watch for ROM and toss bad reps… there might be more but there will be at least 1.
