5. QUALIFICATION SCORING SYSTEM

The scoring of each event is based on fastest time, most repetitions or highest

weight and will be shown on the website. Every incorrect or invalid repetition according

to standards will be judged as a no-rep.

If the workout is based on fastest time, the ranking will go from fastest to slowest time

in which the entire workout is finished. If the workout is based on highest number of

repetitions, the ranking goes from highest to lowest number of repetitions.

SEITE 3If the workout is based on highest weight, the ranking goes from highest to lowest

weight.

Ranking follows the following system: Participant who is placed first gets one point,

second gets two points, third gets three points, ..., 103rd gets 103 points etc. The

athlete who has the lowest sum of points after all three qualification workouts is first,

the one with the second lowest sum of points is second, and so on.

Every participant is responsible for upholding the standards.

Submission of scores in the online competition is based on honour and honesty. Final

result of the online qualification will be determined by the organiser following the rules

of ranking.

6. FINALS

Winners will be determined by the highest sum of points. Scoring follows a 100-point

scale for Tier A workouts and a 50-point scale for Tier B workouts.

Each workout will be judged by an official judge, who will verify all criteria regarding

performance and ranking. Each athlete must sign the scorecard; a signed scorecard is

valid and cannot be contested. The head judge reserves the right to adjust scores if

there is sufficient evidence of a mistake. All judging decisions are final and binding.

In case of a tie for the first three places, the higher-ranked participant will be

determined by their highest finish in a single workout. If a tie remains, the second

highest finish will be used, then the third highest finish, and so on for all workouts.

If participants are still tied after comparing all workouts, a 1:1 battle will be held in a

selected workout on-site to determine the final ranking.
