Events

(Events subject to change and weights are approx.)

***In addition to my legendary Pumpkin Stones, I am working on a special new stone just for this meet. I am not 100% sure how it will be utilized yet, but please don’t stress it; this is all for FUN! Details will be announced as they come at www.vikingperformancetraining.com and on our FB page at https://www.facebook.com/events/1043536272350073/***

Novice and Masters classes are one “level” lighter than their Open class equivalents on this chart. Teens are two levels lighter.

Jack the Repper (Viking Press)

• 60sec to complete as many bloody reps as possible
• Athlete must wait for a down signal or his/her rep will not count and they may be burned at the stake
• Handles must return to starting press position before beginning next rep, with the handles at shoulder level. For those with shoulder/arm mobility issues, please consult with the referee beforehand.
• Elbows and knees must be locked; hips extended; feet stationary, non-staggered, and heels within shoulder width to receive a down command
• Sleeves, one belt, and wrist wraps legal. Not legal: knee wraps, suits, witch brooms

Drag Me to Hell (Chain Drag Medley)

• Athletes will have 75sec to drag 3 different sets of giant chains across the course
• Chains must be dragged in order, and as specified. Example: a 700lb drag is made of two chains that must be dragged together
• Entire chain must cross the line before the athlete can move onto the next chain. Referee will give a verbal and visual signal when this occurs. Spirits may be summoned for motivation.
• Equipment allowed: sleeves, wrist wraps, one belt. No straps, hooks, knee wraps, sticky crap.

Dawn of the Deadlift

• Athlete will have 60sec to do as many reps as possible in the deadlift
• Athlete may choose any bar to begin with, however once an attempt is made on a particular bar, the athlete may only go from heavier to lighter, and may not go “up” in weight. Example: Rosco chooses to start on the medium bar, hits 5 reps, then goes to the light bar and hit 5 more. Rosco may not attempt the heaviest bar because he started on the medium bar.
• Touch and go reps are fine but if you slam the bar like a moron you may be subject to DQ.
• Reps on the heavier bar will “trump” any number of reps on the lighter bar. Example: Bob hits 20 reps on the lighter bar, and Jim hits one rep on the heavier bar – Jim beats Bob! If Clark hits 1 heavy bar and 4 on the light bar, then Mark nails 2 on the heavy bar and 0 on the light bar, Mark wins. If the reps are equal on the heavy bar, then the reps on the light bar would serve as a tie breaker.
• Equipment allowed: usual Mouser rules except… straps ARE legal. If your nose bleeds, vampires will aid with clean up.

Bring Out Your Dead (Sandbag and Wheelbarrow)

• Athlete will have 60sec to load 3 cadavers (sandbags) into the meat wagon (wheelbarrow) and then carry the barrow across the course.
• Sandbags will be stationed bordering the wheelbarrow and must be lifted and placed into the barrow in the specified order. Each bag will have a designated bay it must be loaded into.
• The barrow will be lifted and carried only after all the sandbags have been properly placed in it, and the course will be ~40ft
• One drop is allowed before the finish line, and a 10sec slide rule penalty applies
• Fastest time wins. Credit will be given for distance or number of bags loaded for those that do not finish.
• Abusing the equipment may be grounds for DQ from the event and possible from the contest entirely. These means some attempt must be made to control the wheelbarrow after the finish line is crossed. For the sake of the parking lot and equipment, please do not slam or just let go of the handles.
• Equipment allowed: usual stuff. No straps.

Jack-O-Lantern Over Bar (Atlas Stones)

• An increasingly heavy series of “pumpkins” (stones) must be loaded over the bar at 48in.
• 60sec time limit. Fastest time wins.
• Equipment allowed: sleeves, belt, tape, leather forearm gauntlets. Not allowed: tacky, stick um, ectoplasm, rubber shirts.

General Rules/Usual Mouser Stuff

• In the event of a tie in the final standings, a tie breaker event will be held. No countback unless absolutely necessary!
• Sportsmanship is expected and required. This is the greatest sport in the world, let’s keep it that way.
• There will be a pre-event prayer. No one is expected to participate, so please do not feel obligated. All we ask is to be respectful of those that do or do not wish to participate.
• This is a drug free contest. If you are juiced feel free to come cheer on your buddies but please do not bother to sign up.
• If you have a question, please ask! I would rather take a minute to clarify something than to see someone have a poor showing due to a misunderstanding.
