Instead of making a new thread, I figured I'd edit the roll call thread. The roll call is below. A lot of discussion has gone in this thread, but this first post will take precedent over that. The purpose of this thread is to outline the rules, however, many exceptions and "what if's" have come up. I want this contest to be ran like a democracy where everyone has a say. If something is controversial, it will come down to a vote among the 5 captains. 3-2 wins.
General Outline
-This competition is improvement only. Video evidence must be provided for every lift.
-The contest "officially" begins on Monday, April 19th and ends December 31, 2010. Any improvement made before Monday will not count and will become your starting total.
-If a member is banned or becomes MIA, a captain should bring it up in here. We already have 2 "alternates". I feel their "starting #" should be when they actually join the team, but I'll leave this open for discussion.
-Teams can be found here on the first post: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f49/s-p-big-4-competition-official-draft-1189131/
The Lifts
Many extenuating circumstances have come up, but here are the general rules for each lift. This can be added to.
-Squat: Must be parallel or below, high bar or low bar. Sleeves are allowed and don't need to be noted. If you are using wraps or a suit, it needs to be noted in your first post. If you don't have it noted and you are using it in your final video, it won't count!
-Deadlift: No hitching or ramping. If you are using straps at the beginning, it must be noted. If it's not noted and you use them in your final video, it won't count!
-Bench: No bouncing. Feet must be on the floor, but heels do not have to touch. Spotter cannot touch bar after lift off. If you are using a suit, please note it with your starting #. If you are in a suit or any gear at the end and it's not noted in the starting #, it won't count! Also, PLEASE NOTE IN YOUR STARTING TOTAL IF YOU ARE DOING PAUSED. We do not want people switching from paused to TnG mid-competition to inflate gains.
-Overhead: As stated, any overhead lift is allowed. Please note which overhead lift you are doing as your starting #. Weight must be locked out and head through. Weight must be under control at the top. If you are doing SOHP, make sure you don't use leg drive. If you are doing a sloppy Push Press with elements of a jerk, just note it as "Overhead" to avoid confusion.
*Wrist wraps are allowed on everything. Sleeves are allowed on everything. You just have to note gear, wraps, etc.
Starting #'s
We have already beat this to death, but this is more for the captains. It's hard to police 55 people, so I'm relying on you guys as well. Every captain needs to have each member's starting total in the first post of their log. Along with that, please have each lift listed. If you are curious, this is the format that I'm using:
Team Member
Starting Squat: xxx
Current Squat: xxx (+xx improvement)
Starting Deadlift: xxx
Current Deadlift: xxx (+xx improvement)
Starting Bench: xxx
Current Bench: xxx (+xx improvement)
Starting (insert overhead lift here): xxx
Current (insert overhead lift here): xxx (+xx improvement)
Starting Total: xxx
Current Total: xxx (+xx improvement)
This may have to take up the first two posts of your log, so save posts for this. I normally save the first 3-4 posts for videos as well.
*That's it for now. I'm sure other things need addressed, but I can always add it later. Like I said, this will be ran like a democracy with things addressed as we go. If you have suggestions, questions, or comment, please put them in this thread.
