The entire team will begin at the start line. On the call of 3-2-1-go, they will advance forward to their designated lifting area. During the designated windows of time, each teammate will work to establish their heaviest unbroken set of the given complex. Once a teammate begins a given complex, they are assigned that specific complex and cannot change. No other teammate will receive credit for another teammates chosen complex. 

Teammates can however assist in loading the barbell. The weight can be adjusted up or down and reattempted if desired. If the plates have left the floor before the clock expires, it is considered LIVE and CAN be completed after time has been called. Clamps must be used for all attempt or a set will NOT count. Warm up sets by any teammate for a given load is permitted but the set will not count towards the teams score. 

There is no tiebreaker for this event. Each team will have:
Barbell (45lbs for men, 35lbs for women)
4 x 45lb plates
2 x 25lb plates
4 x 10lb plates
2 x 5lb plates
2 x 2.5lb plates
1 pair of clamps 

The teams score is the maximum weight lifted for a given complex combined. For example:

Teammate A completes their complex at 100lbs.
Teammate B completes their complex at 155lbs.
Teammate C completes their complex at 185lbs.

100 + 155 + 185 = 440 for the teams score.

*If a team is able to lift the maximum load provided for a given complex (330lbs for men and 320lbs for women), they will be awarded the the opportunity of completing the final rep of their complex for as many reps as possible, earning an additional 10lbs towards their score for every additional rep performed.

At the top of the movement, both hands must touch the tape line at the 10-inch mark before the athlete may descend. Any part of the hand may touch the tape line. On the descent, the feet must remain on the wall until both hands are touching the first line. The rep is credited when the athlete returns to the starting position. Any part of the hand may make contact with the tape line. Note: For women, the distance from the wall to the tape is 55 inches. For men, the distance is 60 inches. This first line will be the start and finish line for each rep.

No part of the hands or fingers may wrap over the outside edges of the mat. At the bottom, the head must make contact with the mat.

Each rep is credited upon return to the starting position. Kipping is permitted.

Handstand Walk - Kick up with both hands (entire hand, including palm and fingers) BEHIND the mark of the segment being attempted. Stepping over the line or landing with the hands on or over the line is a "no rep." Must walk forward. Coming down from the hands at any time requires a restart from behind the last line successfully crossed. A rep is credited when both hands, including palms and fingers, cross the line before the feet touch the ground. Each 7.5-foot section will count as 1 rep. Must handstand walk across the line. Jumping both hands over the line to finish a section is not allowed.

Event 1 - "Bonfire"
With an 18 minute clock, for max load, best lifts combined:
Partner A - 1 Rep Max Clean
Partner B - 1 Rep Max Overhead Squat
Partner C - 1 Rep Max Shoulder-to-Overhead 

Each partner will have 6 minutes to establish a 1RM Clean, Overhead Squat, or Shoulder-to-Overhead. The Clean will be peformed from the floor. The Overhead Squat and Shoulder-to-Overhead will be performed from the rack. Note: a second bar will be staged in the rack for each team.

Partner A will work on the clean during the first 6 minute period, partner B will work on the Overhead Squat during the second 6 minute period, and partner c will work on the Shoulder-to-Overhead during the final 6 minute period of this 18 minute event.

Athletes can make as many attempts as they would like during their work period, moving up or even down in weight if desired. Teammates may assist each other in loading and unloading the barbell, but clamps must be used for all attempts. A lift performed without clamps on either side will be considered a no rep. A lift is only successful if it is completed before the 6 minute period expires and meets the required movement standards for that lift.

Movement standards can be found here: 
Event 1 Movement Standards

Each athlete's heaviest lift will be counted towards the teams total score. If an athlete is able to successfully lift the maximum poundage provided for a given lift (330lbs for men and 230lbs for women) they can perform as many reps as possible during the time that remains in their 6 minute work period. In this example, the athlete will get credit for the maximium poundage provided x the number of reps, which will contribute to the teams overall score. 

Note: RX, 35+, and scaled divisions will follow the exact same standards for this event.

For example:
RX Men, "Team Alpha"
Partner A - 200lbs Clean
Partner B - 225lbs Overhead Squat
Partner C - 275lbs Shoulder-to-Overhead

Team score: 200 + 225 + 275 = 700lbs 

For example:
RX Men, "Team Bravo"
Partner A - 200lbs Clean
Partner B - 225lbs Overhead Squat
Partner C - 330lbs Shoulder-to-Overhead x 5 reps

Team score: 200 + 225 + 330 x 5 reps (1650) = 2075lbs
