Scoring & Qualifying Heats will be ranked based on Qualifier Wods. All divisions are scored based upon how an athlete finishes compared to the rest of the field in their division. Before elimination, all athletes will be competing in four events, generating four scores. Once each event is completed each athlete will have a recorded score (time, reps or weight.) and that score will be compared to the rest of the athletes in their division. Athletes will be placed in order of points from lowest to highest. An athlete’s placement in an event translates to the same number of points. If an athlete finishes in 5th place in an event he will receive 5 points. The overall score is determined by adding up all four events. Athletes with the least amount of points place higher on the leaderboard. In the event of an overall tie, athletes who gained the better score earlier in the events will ascend. After Event 4 there will be a cut to: • • • • 36 Male Individuals, 24 Female Individuals, 9 Masters Male and 3 Masters Female. (last FM Event.) After Event 5 there will be another cut to: • 18 Male Individuals, • 12 Female Individuals, • 6 Masters Male 9. Event (workout) Preparations • Athletes are responsible for their own warm-up. • The warm-up area will be open to athletes 30 minutes prior to the start of their heat. • Athletes are responsible to be on “deck” 10 minutes prior to the start of their heat. • Any athlete not reporting to “deck” 10 minutes prior will be considered absent and given the last place score for that event. We will not place absent athlete in another heat. • Athletes are responsible to have a general understanding of the event. • All Events will be briefed for movement standards at the general Athletes briefing • Athletes may use gloves or straps as long as it does not assist in gripping the equipment. The head judge has the ultimate authority on what is allowed. • Athletes must use their own jump ropes and may use weight belts. 10. Score / Judge Disputes We take pride in upholding standards and scoring preparation. However, we understand that issues might arise. Our ultimate goal is to provide each athlete a fair and accurate score. Immediately following the completion of your event your judge will ask you to sign the scorecard. By signing the scorecard you are agreeing to the written score. If you have a dispute with your score please adhere to the following protocol: • Do not sign scorecard. • Immediately tell your judge that you disagree with the score written on the scorecard. • Ask to see the head-judge assigned to your division. ● File a formal, verbal dispute with the head-judge. • If the matter is easily adjustable the head judge will make the correction immediately. If the issue needs further investigation the head judge will pass the dispute up the chain-of-command to the Athlete Director. • The Athlete Director will work with the athlete to resolve the problem. • Please follow the above steps and do not break the said chain-ofcommand. • If the scoring issue happens when your score gets posted. Please see the athlete concierge table for assistance. • Disputes must be addressed within 30 minutes of posted score. We ask that you respect your volunteer judge at all times. The ACD staff will handle any inappropriate conduct from an athlete accordingly and the athlete may be subject to elimination from the competition. Please treat judges, staff and other athletes with respect and professionalism. 11. EVENTS: Events will be released on 28.09.2014 20:00h (CEST) .
