1-ARM COMPETITION LIFTS
1. Clean
2. LongCycle Press
3. Jerk
4. Half Snatch
5. Push Press
EVENT RULES / SCORING
Lifters must perform all five lifts. Sets are performed at 6 minutes with multiple hand switches permitted, and 5 minute rest between each set. Repetition limits, per set, for each exercise are as follows: Clean 120 / LongCycle Press 60 / Jerk 120 / Half Snatch 108 / Push Press 120. The athlete is awarded a point for each rep performed, multiplied by the factor relative to each kettlebell, at 1 point per 8 kilograms. For example, a 16kg kettlebell would come with a factor of 2. If athlete A performed 120 Jerks in 6 minutes with a 16k kettlebell, athlete A would receive a score of 240 for Jerk (120 X 2). A different kettlebell may be used for each lift. Total score is the sum of all five sets.
AWARDS
This is an open event without weight classes, but for this competition, the lifter's body-weight is factored into the Per-Kilo category. No prior ranking is necessary to enter. Place awards will be posted for both Male and Female divisions, for a Absolute Winner as well as Handi-cap / Per-Kilo Winner. [PER-KG FORMULA: Score minus body-weight in kilos] There will also be an Overall Masters (over 50 male / female) winner. Repetitions will be judged in accordance with World Kettlebell Club Rules of Lifting.
PLATFORM TIME SLOT / CERTIFICATE PRESENTATION
Lifters can request a preferred Platform Time Slot on a first come, first serve basis. All lifters will be notified of their official time slot via email one week prior to event date.
