Competition Guidelines

This serves as a guide to athletes to determine which category of event they should enter. The Rx Events are aimed at competitive athletes, although the weights are not too heavy, they are intended to provide a significant challenge and movements will be fast paced. The Scaled Events will be suitable for both the novice and intermediate athlete, and while still challenging will not include complex movements.
