 When contact breaks your turn is finished
 Elbows must remain straight
 Wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, and a belt are legal
Carry and Load –
 The objects will be Keg, Keg, Odd Object, and Farmers Handles (weights
listed “per hand”)
 Each object must be lifted and carried ~30ft across the end line and
deposited onto the crash mats
 Objects must be attempted and completed in order

Atlas Stone Press –

Stones will be attempted in order from lightest to heaviest
Stones must be taken from the ground to overhead
Competitor must wait for the “down” command from the judge.
In order to get a down command, lifter must have feet in a non-staggered
stance, no wider than shoulder width, with the knees extended (locked),
the hips extended, and elbows extended. The feet may not be moving and
the object must be under control overhead.
We realize that pressing round stones makes locking the elbows very tricky.
If the elbows are reasonably near lockout and the object is steady and the
lifter demonstrates control, he/she will get a down signal. If the lifter needs
to straighten his/her arms more, he/she will be informed.
Dropping the stones from overhead may result in disqualification from
the event. They are concrete, they can bust, and then you’ve ruined the
event for the next person. Please be considerate.
60sec time limit, fastest time wins
No tacky allowed
Dragon Drag Arm Over Arm Pull –
 60sec time limit
 Object must be pulled ~50ft , fastest time wins
 Feet will be braced against a barrier, and the athlete will be responsible for
pulling the rope and thus the sled down the course. If athlete does not have
a “rope man” to keep the rope out of the way as it builds up, one will be
provided
General Rules/Usual Mouser Stuff



In the event of a tie in the final standings, 1st place finishes will decide the winner. If there is still a tie,
then 2nd place finishes will be the determinant, and so on. If a tie cannot be broken this way, athletes will
compete in a single MAS match as the tie breaker (or as many matches as are required to determine a
winner).
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.
