General info:
The success of our competitions is the focus on the beginning athlete. By beginning athlete we mean anyone who has little to no competition experience and wants to experience this as a team. Our competitions are also the perfect start for your progression to higher level competitions.
We want everyone who participates, regardless of their fitness level, to experience the feeling of being on the competition floor, cheered by hundreds of spectators, friends and family and where you can shine in our community.
Our competitions do not have an elite division because it does not fit within our beginner concept. The organization reserves the right to:
- refuse these athletes;
- reassign these athletes to a higher division (is considered on a case-by-case basis).
If you have any doubts whether you can participate or not, we ask you to inform us in advance by sending us an email via the email address you can find below.
The concept:
- earn your team spot to the finals via the qualifier;
- designed for the beginner athlete;
- if you make it to the finals >>> NO multiple, long, hard workouts spread out over 2 or more days;
- Only 1 day of competition for ALL divisions (Saturday or Sunday);
- Tight time schedule so everyone knows when to start and when it is done;
- ALL participants are doing 3 different workouts spread out during the day with NO cut-off;
- NO finals to determine the 1th, 2th and 3th place overall;
- Testing endurance, strength, power, skill, bodyweight exercises or a mix of all mentioned;
- We offer a parent/kid division in our Buddy edition with custom workouts.
The competition includes four levels to play:
- Beginner
- Regular
- Advanced
- Adult + Kid
- Adult + Teens
Unique in the divisions are the subdivisions. You can team up in the following sud-divisions:
- M/M
- F/F
- M/F
- M/M 70+ (not in RX)
- F/F 70+ (not in RX)
- M/F 70+ (not in RX)
- Adult/Kid (Age kid 6-12)
- Adult/Teens (Age teen 13-16)
