Downtown Throwdown Workouts!!















GENERAL RULES
·      Scoring is based on a point system…1st place for a work out receives 1 point, 2nd place 2 points, etc. lowest total score at the end of the competition wins
·      The opening event determines order of performance for the athletes during Workouts, and in the event of a tie…will serve as a tie breaker.
·      Scaled athletes unable to utilize the scaled weight for an exercise will be assigned a time penalty of 1 second per pound they must reduce the weight by in order to allow them to compete. Head Judge must be notified of a request for modification prior to the start of the workout.
·      If an athlete misses their assigned heat, they will be placed last in point standing for that event. As there are always potential for extenuating circumstances…a final determination will be made by the Throwdown director as to whether an opportunity exists for the athlete to compete in another heat.
·      If an athlete does not complete a movement correctly, based on the standards outlined, the athlete will be told “No Rep” by their judge. At the end of the workout, a scorecard is produced by the judge. Both judge and athlete will initial/sign the card before it is turned over for scoring.
