The basic competition format
(updated rules 2022)
- 4-min time limit
- Points for each obstacle completed
- Half points for halfway on each obstacle
- If you fail an obstacle, you continue to the next and receive 0 points or the halfway points, whichever applies. Your points still accumulate throughout the course.
- You must reside in one of the six states that make up the region.
- Simplified scoring. All obstacles are either 2 or 4 points with halfway points. All courses are 30 points total.
- All obstacles will have a clear point A starting point and point B finishing point.
- Incidental contact rule: Brushing/grazing the floor, truss, post, wall, etc. that has not been deemed allowed will receive a single warning on first contact and failure on second. Intentional use or weight bearing contact are not the same as incidental and will not get a warning.
- Trussing rule: Truss follows the incidental contact rule unless the truss is deemed allowed or off limits. Off limits is to be avoided unless it is part of the obstacle to specifically avoid the truss.
- Failing an obstacle: Judges will NOT tell an athlete to drop. This way, if an athlete wishes to challenge completion of the obstacle, they have the choice to finish and challenge the lost point afterward.
- Broken obstacle/Course reset failure: Athlete can choose to start course over with an ~5 minute rest OR complete the course. The decision must be made immediately after the failed obstacle. Final score is the chosen option (NOT the better of the two).
