Two questions:

2)What are the weights of the bumpers for the HSPU? 25/35/45?

For affiliates:
Because Event 3 and Event 4 are linked, does that mean the same 4 competitors who start Event 3 have to complete Event 4 or can there be substitutes?

I'm assuming 2 men/2 women for each event? For the "linked" Affiliate events, are we still able to adjust the particpating personnel for each event. Basically, do the four teammembers we choose to complete Event #3 have to do Event #4, or can we switch?
25 May 2010 / 7:16 a.m.
12. johnny Mac wrote...
Jonathan Events 3 and 4 are each scored individually, so with that being the case yes a team may use different athletes for each Event. A small benefit for registering 6 on a team.

On the affiliate event # 4 it says that "each bar must be lifted for 60 reps". Does that mean if the guys get done quickly with their weights, a guy can then do some reps on the girls weight?

Russell, you call it NASCAR we call it The Dirty South highest points total wins (500 scale) and yes same as last year.
Vitaly Sender, small correction to your statement we may see some DNFs from Individual Event #3, maybe #2. The only Event for time that will not result in a potential DNF is the final event for both Individual and Affiliate Teams.
Ken, you are one astute reader you are correct each bar must be moved 60reps, each tire must be jumped thru 100reps do you see a common thread. I had mistakenly called the bars mens and women's in the Affiliate video. This is a Team Event.
Brad, each Affiliate Team Event must have 2 men 2 women competing, this is an absolute.

Johnny Mac,
You just said each bar must be moved for 60 reps, etc. I am correct then in my assertion that two males may be working at a time, one on each bar? And the same goes for the muscle-ups and chest-2-bar pull-ups, two males may work at a time?
Thanks.

Think the programming is great, but the one-second penalty on the 5th event seems really odd to me. It doesn't seem like much of a penalty for reps not completed in the time limit.
I would think that 5 or 10 seconds/rep or more would be more appropriate. I know that the penalty is not meant to approximate how long it would actually take to complete the reps (especially because the last item on each round is a 200 m run), but 1 second/rep doesn't appear to be much of a penalty at all.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the scoring.
25 May 2010 / 8:47 a.m.
26. Johnny Mac wrote...
Grant, Yes. and the same goes for the muscle-ups and C2B. Be forewarned in testing we found that every added rep comes at a cost somewhere else in the Event.

Ken you are not, the intent is simply to add a numerical value to a timed event. Blend a Time and Task Priority Event.
At 22 min the course freezes, how much work have you completed. We can add 1 sec or 1 hr per rep the result should be the same as every athlete will line up based on a time score in the order in which they finished. Faster times will always be in front of slower times and those that completed more work within 22 min will will be in front of those that complete less work . F*D/T

On the HSPU - do the bumper plates have to touch the wall or can they be a couple inches away as long as the ABMAT width is maintained?
Thank you!

Leo, the AbMat and bumpers are to establish width and depth of the HSPU a few inches from a wall will be allowed. Movement criteria must still be the same.

JMac-
Got it now. Since it will all be converted to points anyway, the 1-second "penalty" is just meant to place competitors relative to each other. The duration of the "penalty" is actually meaningless, it just represents that I finished either in front of, behind, or tied with another competitor (and will serve to reduce ties since everyone that misses the cutoff won't just be lumped together).
Thanks!

1st. Nice WODs....This will be a very exciting competition!
2nd. On the HSPU's, I know it says you can kip, but it also says feet must stay touching the wall through the entire range of motion. Does it count to take your feet away for the kip, as long as you end with your feet against the wall, arms locked out, not falling?
25 May 2010 / 10:51 a.m.
41. Johnny Mac wrote...
Ken, better than my answer
Talayna, this has come up a few time today the intent is the finish or top of the HSPU is fully extended feet in contact with the wall, we will not count reps where the athlete falls away from the wall pressing out the last rep. Feet may come away for the kip but must always finish in contact with the wall.
25 May 2010 / 11:08 a.m.
42. For Clarity wrote...
Can you confirm that the plates that flank the abmats will be 25# Rogue/High-Temp Bumpers...and not 45's?
Thanks!
25 May 2010 / 11:23 a.m.
43. Ashley D wrote...
Question about the HSPU - Kipping is allowed, so are feet allowed to leave wall for the kip? I read that feet can't leave wall, but not sure if that was just to make sure people didn't push off wall on way back up..

Need you to clear up two different interpretations we have. To clarify, Event #4, if the men finish moving the 145# bar 60 times. Can the men jump on the lighter 85# bar and help the women finish those sixty?
Also, we see that the spectator tickets are sold out online. Will there be any walk-up tickets available for Friday and Saturdays events?
