Date: Weekend of 12/6/2008
Place: This will be a Cross World Meet. Several folks have already stepped up and said they would host this challenge at their gym or location. If you cannot attend one of the listed locations, that is fine. Video in that case would be nice.
As the locations become finalized, we will add them here. Please contact me if you would like to host. Also, please state which Team you will represent.
Events:
10 Min Snatch Set (SSST) - Unlimited switches set the bell down when you like, drop to the shoulder, whatever.
Immediately followed by:
10 Min LCC&J Set (UJT) - Unlimited switches set the bell down when you like
No rest between Events.
Categories. There are no defined categories. Randy and I decided to let folks use whatever weight they would like.
Guidelines:
Elite Men 32kg
Elite women 20kg
Men 24kg
Women 16kg
Beginners
Men 20kg, 16kg
Women 12kg, or even 8kg
If a man or woman wants to use a relatively very heavy weight, i.e. 40kg or 24kg for one or both lifts respectively, that is cool and you will certainly be regarded as a bad ass.
You can mix and match. For example, if you aren't comfortable snatching the the 32kg, but want to do LCC&J with the 32kg you can use the 24kg snatches.
Judging:
Snatches must be overhead. No 10'oclock snatching. If you've seen Fuglevs 270 video, that's how fixed we want them.
Overhead anyhow. Must fix the weight overhead and should wait for the judges count. Jerk is not required, but if you push press, the arm must still be locked out. Belts, wrist wraps, and of course, chalk is allowed.
We also ask participants to please finish the last 15 seconds of the set. Don't quit or rest on the platform until it is over!
Special Awards:
Tazzy (After our friend Trebuchet from Down Under!). Tazzy will be awarded to any man going the full 20 min without setting the bell down (32kg, or 24kg)
Lopa (Named after our Dearly Beloved IGxer). Lopa will be awarded to any woman going the full 20 min without setting the bell down (20kg or 16kg).
The exception is if you are changing bells at 10 min 32kg->24kg, ect. But, you cannot rest during this change. Know in advance that you are going to switch and have the bell sitting close to you.
Once the results are tallied at the meet location, please send them to your Team Captain.
Team OTW - Catherine Imes (cimes)
