Event #5:

Event 5 is Tug of War!  The event will be run like a March Madness bracket with some added consolation bracketing.  Seeding for this event will be determined from all of Day 1’s events.  The top 1 & 2 seeds from day 1 will have a bye in the first round.

Your team will be responsible for knowing your match times throughout the bracket.  Make sure you are present and ready for each match a few minutes early.

Each match will be 1 min.  All 4 teammates will participate. At Go, both teams will begin pulling. The team who pulls the center marker to their side first will win. If time expires before a team wins, the side that the center marker is on when time expires will determine the winner.

No Cleats (only your regular CrossFit shoes allowed). Loops, knots or other holdings are not allowed, this includes wrapping the rope around hands or any other body part. This will take place indoors in the box.

This event is worth 100 points for the winner.  The top 12 teams will be awarded points according to the 100 point chart. Four Teams will finish tied at 13th and be awarded 13th place points.  Eight Teams will finish tied at 17th and be awarded 17th place points.  Six Teams will finish tied at 25th and be awarded 25th place points.

*Fun Fact: Tug of War was a part of the Summer Olympics from 1900-1920.
