any athlete behaving in an unsportsmanlike manner may be subject to removal from the competition. If fans, friends, and/or relatives of said athletes, are behaving inappropriately it may lead to their participating team being removed from competition. If the behaviour is directed at any member of our volunteer staff you will be asked to leave without warning.

It is our intention to run a fun, safe, and competitive competition that is enjoyable for all involved

Out of respect for our professional photographers we will not allow any other professional cameras in the event space at any time. This includes, but is not limited to DSLR cameras or cameras with detachable lenses. Smart phones are okay!

Photos will be available for individual purchase after the competition.

Anyone who is found in violation of this will be asked to leave and may lead to the disqualification of the team being photographed.

the event staff is not responsible for any of the following:

• telling you what the event is (reps, movements or structure) - Watch the videos, read the standards, and come prepared to hit the floor

• telling you the movement standards - Watch the videos, read the event description, and come prepared to hit the floor

• helping you with your aches and pains - we do not have dedicated physiotherapists for your pre-existing injuries or muscle soreness. Our medical staff is only there to assist for acute injury sustained during an event, for first-aid, and in the event of an emergency.

• making sure you’re on time - we run a tight ship! We’re dedicated to being integral with your heat times so it is your job to be ready 15 minutes ahead of your head time to be corraled. Failure to do so may results in not participating in the event

• counting your reps - judges are there to make sure you do all the reps to our standards. It is your responsibility to count your reps to know when you are done. If there is a disagreement between the judge and the athlete, the judge’s final call will stand.

we have an extremely high degree of respect for our judges. They are all volunteers and are doing their best. We give them all the information, training, and standards we can but they are human and it is possible they make an error.

in such an event, if an error occurs, the judges call will stand. It is up to the judges discretion if they choose to involve the head judge in which time the head judge can determine the most appropriate course of action.

video review of any kind will not be accepted.

once you’ve signed off on your score, it is final.

before signing off, It is the athletes responsibility to:

• make sure that the final score is correct (reps, weight, and/or time)

• the score is legible for the scorekeeper to input into the leaderboard

• no bags are to be stored in the athlete warm up area at any time

• athletes only in the warm-up area. No coaches allowed.

• space is limited. Please allow teams who are closer to their heat time priority over the equipment

we hold the right to adjust a athletes division based on their performance in The Open and other local competitions in an attempt to create balanced divisions. Don’t worry, this won't be done without reaching out to the team first to have a discussion.
