DESCRIPTION
OF EXERCISE PERFORMANCE RULES WORLD STRONGMAN CHAMPIONSHIP EXERCISES AMONG ELITELEAGUE ATHLETES
EXERCISE | ACTION | PROHIBITED | NOTE |
Tyre flip for time
| The tire starts in a vertical position at the start line. On the judge’s signal, the athlete pushes the tire forward. Once the tire lies flat on the ground, flips are counted. The winner is the athlete who completes the required number of repetitions the fastest. Athletes who fail to flip the tire the required number of times within the time limit will have their score determined by the number of flips completed. | Use of adhesives; If the tire enters on an adjacent lane, the athlete is penalized 5 seconds | A flip is counted when the tire’s plane fully touches the floor. |
Log-lift for reps
| The projectile is on the floor. The athlete approaches the loaded projectile. At the referee’s signal, the athlete lifts it from the floor, securing it above the head (1 sec.). Elbows and knees should be straightened, feet in one line. After the referee’s command, the athlete returns the projectile to its starting position. The winner is the athlete who secures the most repetitions. | Belt loops. Placing the projectile on the head. Throwing the projectile behind. Lowering the projectile not onto special mats. | In case of elbow joint injuries and inability to fully extend, the athlete must inform the judge before the attempt. |
Farmer’s Carry
| The projectiles are placed behind the starting line. On the judge’s signal, the athlete lifts the suitcases and covers 20-meter sections, navigating around markers. The athlete who completes the designated distance in the shortest time wins. If the athlete does not finish within the time limit, the covered distance is recorded. | Using straps Advancing the projectile along the track (the athlete receives a 5-second penalty for each attempt to advance) | The athlete is allowed to set the projectiles on the ground any number of times within the time limit. Advancement is considered touching the track with the projectile while moving it more than 50 cm. |
Axel dead lift for reps
| The projectile is on the floor. The athlete approaches the loaded projectile and grabs it with any grip. On the judge’s signal, the athlete stands up to full extension of the torso and knees, pulling the shoulders back. After the judge’s signal, the athlete returns the projectile to the starting position (S.P.) and performs the next repetition. The winner is the athlete who records the most repetitions within the allotted time limit. | Using straps, suits; Wrapping tape around fingers; Bouncing off the platform; Lowering or lifting the projectile before the judge’s signal. | The judge gives two commands: “UP” – when to lift, and “DOWN” – when to lower. A lift performed without a command is not counted. It is mandatory to accompany the projectile in hands when lowering to knee level. |

Overhead medley (log-lift+dumbblle+ log-lift+dumbblle +axel)
| Projectiles are on the floor in the sequence they are to be lifted. The athlete starts at the starting line. On the judge’s signal, the athlete must lift each projectile in turn and secure it overhead (1 sec hold), with elbows and knees straightened, feet parallel. After the judge’s signal, return the projectile to the starting position and proceed to the next. The winner is the athlete who completes the specified number of lifts the fastest. Athletes who fail to lift all projectiles within the time limit are scored by the number of successful lifts. | Moving to the next projectile without a confirmed lift of the previous one. Lifting the dumbbell with both hands from the shoulder. For the first drop of the projectile not onto a special mat – a warning, for the second – the repetition is not counted. After securing, throwing the projectile over the head is not allowed; such action will result in the repetition not being counted. Belt loop and buckle in front. | The judge is at the finish line and signals the athlete for a confirmed lift by raising their hand. If an athlete lifts a projectile but drops it without the judge’s command and moves on to the next, a penalty of an additional 5 seconds is added to the final result, or one repetition is deducted if the time limit is exceeded. Lifting the axel is allowed to rest the projectile on the belt. |

| The athlete stands at the start line facing the stones arranged on the floor. On the judge’s command, they lift and load a series of rubber balls (diameter 50-55 cm) over bars, from the lightest to the heaviest. The winner is the athlete who completes all lifts the fastest. If the athlete doesn’t meet the time limit, the result is the actual number of balls lifted. | Skipping the sequence of lifting balls; Using glue or other adhesive substances when lifting the rubber balls. | Assistants hold the super yoke (bars) but are not allowed to touch the balls. Only magnesium and leather forearm pads are allowed for handling the rubber balls with a diameter of 55 cm. |

MAINE RULES
- 1. Each competitor is given one attempt at each exercise. Exceptions are set out in the relevant sections of these rules. The athlete who scored the highest amount of points becomes the winner in his weight category. Other participants are classified according to the collected amount. If two participants show the same result in the sum of points, the athlete with the greater number of victories has the advantage. To determine places in exercises, points will be calculated as follows (example for 8 participants):
1st place – 8 points;
2nd place – 7 points;
3rd place – 6 points;
4th place – 5 points;
5th place – 4 points;
6th place – 3 points;
7th place – 2 points;
8th place – 1 point.
In the case when the athlete did not complete the task in any exercise, no points are awarded. In case of a tie in the exercises, the points of the participants are divided equally. If it is necessary to determine places in the overall standings, places will be determined according to one of the following principles:
- a) according to the majority of first places;
- b) according to the majority of second places and so on;
- c) if all the indicators of the performed exercises are identical, then the victory is given to the athlete with the lightest weight (re-weighing is done before awarding).
Before the start of the competition, a blind draw will be held to determine the starting order of the competitors for the first exercise. After that, unless otherwise stated, the order of exit of athletes in the next exercise will be reversed, according to the results of the previous exercise, that is, the athlete who showed the worst result in the previous exercise will go first and vice versa. In paired exercises, the participants go in the same reverse order of the occupied place in the previous exercise, i.e.: 8 and 7, 6 and 5, 4 and 3, 2 and 1. Before the last exercise, the participants go in the same reverse order, but according to the sum of the points scored in all previous exercises. That is, the participant with the least number of points comes first and vice versa.
If the athletes demonstrated the same results in the exercise (the same fixed weight, the same number of lifts, etc.), the sum of points is added and divided by the number of identical results (arithmetic average), accordingly, places are distributed according to the principle of average values (for example, 1-3; 5-8; 3-4).
- 2. Only an athlete is allowed on the site. The coach or representative is to be in the athletes’ zone. In case of non-compliance with this point, the result of the athlete will be canceled.
- 3. Athletes come out in turn of the announcement and occupy the corresponding lane, that is, the athlete who was called first – occupies lane № 1; the athlete who was called next – lane № 2, etc.
- 4. The athlete must make sure that the equipment is in good condition before the judge’s start signal, in case of malfunction, inform the judge and assistants. After the start signal, judges and assistants have no right to help the athlete in case of any malfunctions of the equipment or to help set the projectiles in the starting position – until the end of the time limit, this is the area of responsibility of the athlete. The judges record the athlete’s actual result. In case of a malfunction of the equipment, which was discovered by the athlete before the start of the exercise, the athlete has the right to skip his turn once during the competition and perform in the next pair after eliminating the defect.
- 5. Athletes must be fully prepared (belt fastened, laced, wrapped bandages and wristbands, etc.) for the competition before being called to the site. If the head judge sees that there is already at least one athlete who is ready to perform the exercise, he gives the signal to start the performance without waiting for the readiness of the rest of the athletes on the site. The readiness of the athletes before going out is monitored by the judge next to the participants, naming the next participants in advance.
- 6. “Sliding” of projectiles on the track is prohibited during distance exercises. For each “slip” of more than 0.5 m, the athlete is fined 5 seconds to his exercise time. If the judge notices a slight touching of the track with the projectile, he gives a warning to the athlete, in case of repeated even a slight touching – a penalty of 5 seconds is given.
- 7. During the competition, the athlete has the right to one video viewing of a disputed refereeing issue, if it is technically possible. Video viewing and clarification of a disputed issue cannot last more than 5 minutes (the chief judge monitors this). In order to objectively resolve the dispute, a council of judges is assembled, who make a decision based on the number of votes. The video review is carried out before the start of the next exercise, exclusively by the panel of judges without the involvement of the athlete or his representative.
8. The judge’s decision is final and is not a subject to discussion, except in the case of item 15.
- 9. The weight of the projectiles can be changed before the end of the warm-up (3 minutes before the start of the exercise).
- 10. 7 minutes are given for a warm-up after each previous exercise. After the assistants have installed the equipment for the warm-up, the head judge will mark 7 minutes for the warm-up. Immediately after the end of the warm-up, the assistants set the equipment to the starting position. Assistants do not help athletes set weights during the warm-up.
- 11. Athletes must adhere to the norms of behaviour, not use dirty swear words and offensive gestures. Athletes are obliged to treat everyone present at the competition with respect. For the first manifestation of improper behaviour, the athlete is given a warning, for the second manifestation, the athlete is removed from the competition, and his result is nullified. All athletes are obliged to participate in the opening and awarding ceremony. If the athlete does not attend the awarding ceremony (for improper reasons), his result will be nullified!
