Scoring

In each event, first place receives 100 points, second receives 95, and it continues to fall by 5 points through fifth place, which is worth 80 points.  From sixth to 20th place, the drop is 2 points: sixth is worth 78 points, seventh is 76, and so on.  Then from 21st place on, the drop is 1 point: 21st gets 49 points, 22nd gets 48, etc.  This means that participating in an event guarantees you points, and skipping means leaving points on the table.

During the awards ceremony the top three competitors in each event will be announced, as well as the top “respect” competitor in each event.  The three competitors with the most total points will receive bragging rights and a custom award.

More PAX means more competition and 2nd F.  Come on out and help make this a great event!  Please bring your 40-50 lb kettle bells and shovel flags.

UPDATE: Two sub 3hr marathoners have entered the BROlympics, as well as a former 2nd place bench press champion, and just a few bad@$$es from Gastonia and Columbia, SC. An original Scottsman who is used to throwing heavy sheep, vows to win the keg toss (TBD if in a kilt).

Shaping up to be an amazing event! YHC promises the Q’s are working very hard to make this event one for the ages.
