Games Format 2010

SCORING SYSTEM - "Every Second Counts". All three events are timed. The times from each event will be added together. The athlete with the lowest combined time from all 3 events wins. In the unlikely case of a tie after 3 events, the athlete with the higher placement in 2 of the 3 events will be the winner. Times to 1/10 of a second will be kept and will be counted. The team that has the fastest combined time of their top 3 athletes (men and/or women) will be deemed the Team Champion.

SCALING - If you cannot move a prescribed weight or complete a prescribed movement, you can still participate, but you will not be qualified to win the title or have your effort count toward a team time. We have intentionally chosen workouts that have some flexibility around this issue and will work with athletes who want to get some experience competing but haven't mastered a movement or gained the strength for certain lifts.

WINNERS - will receive a plaque "Maine's Fittest Man 2010" and "Maine's Fittest Woman - 2010". There are no age categories intentionally. Any organization that has three or more athletes entered will be eligible for the fittest team award.

COST - $40 entry fee prior to the day of the event. $50 entry fee on the day of the event payable in cash only. All contestants who pre-register will receive a t-shirt. Athletes registering on the day of the event will receive a t-shirt if there are enough extra. Organizers reserve the right to cancel the competition in the event of low turnout at their full discretion. Any entry fees paid will be returned in full in the event of a cancellation.

SCHEDULE:

7:00 Day of Registration Opens

7:30 Day of Registration Closes

7:45 Competitor's Meeting - Don't be late for this as it will start on time.

8:30 First Event

11:30 Second Event

3:00 Final Event

ASAP after third event - Awards

Times are subject to change based on the number of entrants. First event will start at 8:30 regardless.

SEEDING:

We will run the competition in heats based on the final number of athletes participating.

Seeding for heats in Event 1 and 2 will be set up in reverse sign up order. In other words, if we determine we need heats of 6 and we have 30 entrants, the first 6 people to register will be in Heat 5, the second group of 6 to register and pay will be in Heat 4, etc. Put another way, the last to sign up are the first to compete.

Seeding for Event 3 will go in reverse order of the standings after the first two events. Following the example above with 6 person heats, the top 6 competitors would go in the final heat of the day. This allows the top seeded athletes after the first two events to go head to head to settle the score.

JUDGING

Each athlete will have a judge assigned to him or her for each event. That judge will be responsible for enforcing movement standards and assuring that each repetition is completed. They will also count reps aloud for the athlete. If a rep is not performed according to the standard the Judge will call FOUL and explain why they called foul.

The judges are trained not to argue with the athletes and if you choose to argue it is on your time. The clock will be running and in the end, the judge will require you to repeat the repetition anyway. Arguing is certainly NOT in your best interest. 

The judges are volunteers and are doing this to support the sport of fitness. They will be trained in the movement standards. It is your responsibility to meet with your judge prior to your heat and do a "test rep" or two to be sure you are both on the same page. We all know that as you get tired, your ability to meet the range of motion degrades. These are competition reps and EVERY one of them must be complete. Close will not cut it; the judges will enforce the standards. If you miss a rep, simply be sure you understand why and do it again.

If you are interested in Judging at the games or know of someone who is, please contact Bill Getty asap.

What if you have a disagreement with a judge, then? I mean, what if they're wrong? Judges are wrong sometimes...is there someone we can take it up with after the fact?

[Bill Getty]

Sorry I missed this comment a year ago, but to answer it now... Yes you can take it up with the Big Boss, me. I'm happy to do my best to resolve a situation but BY FAR you are advised that it is ALWAYS in your best interest to work things out with your judge before the event starts to be sure you are on the same page. During the event, it is the judge's call. We don't video everything so there is no instant replay. If you get a call to repeat a rep just do it and move on. If you feel you have an issue after the event is over, find me.

I experienced review this publication so very various occasions getting a kid, but however whenever I arrived throughout this passage, I would really feel a shiver work comfortably my spine. and also to day the publication persists to be one of my all time favorites. The publication is Kidnapped, R.L.Stevenson’s 1886 traditional concerning the adventures of the youthful boy. as well as the direct character is certainly David Balfour. This publication would hold it is place regardless of the actuality that in the report of my treasured childhood books, which I protected like a treasure. Other’s getting Treasure Island with the identical author, near to the planet in 80 times and 20000 Leagues below the Sea by Jules Verne, Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift and certainly my normal diet plan of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie.

yeah, It is your responsibility to meet with your judge prior to your heat and do a "test rep" or two to be sure you are both on the same page.
