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 bring home the hardware.

What to Bring:

• Shovel flags
• Any 40-50 lb kettlebells that you have
• Watch/Phone to time yourself and your partner
• Water (we will also have some on site)
• Old workout gear / F3 shirts for the F3 PAX that live at the Charlotte Rescue Mission.  These guys MUCH appreciate our donations and truly wear them with PRIDE.
