FINALS: TBA


CODE OF CONDUCT

Please check your ego at the door.

Even though we know this will not occur we need to remind everyone that tantrums, swearing at others, arguing, whinging and negative behaviour will not be tolerated and this will be the end of your competition for the day.

Whilst we and you strive for perfection on the day, this is not always possible. Rest assured we have done our best.

1. Our main aim with the OUT OF TOWN THROWDOWN is to provide an enjoyable, friendly competition where fellow crossfitters can get together and have a great day.

2. All athletes will be required to judge their fellow competitors. Please remember what type of judge you like to have so you can be the best judge for someone else. Judging requires concentration and we ask you be supportive and helpful.

3. Any dumping of equipment (excluding the Clean and Jerk at 40kg and over) will incur an automatic “no rep”. This includes power snatch, front squat, shoulder to overhead, kettlebell swings, skipping movements and the rower handle (an extra 1 calorie will have to be rowed if the handle is not replaced with respect).

4. Drummond Williamson (CF42s) is head judge. All concerns and complaints regarding judging will be directed to him and only him. Only Drummond will liaise with head scorer – Alex. All other affiliate owners and head coaches will be supervising each workout area. They are there to ensure movement standards are upheld, questions are answered and most importantly that you are supported during judging and woding.

5. It is your responsibility to make yourself familiar with all movement standards. They are linked to the Throwdown site. We will NOT be having a standards briefing session on the day, just a Q&A session.


6. Have a great day. Any queries please email anna@crossfitworks.com.au OR phone/text 0447 674009.
