acromegaman Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Alright everyone! Here are the bending contest rules. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask. Rules · This will be a timed event using rated bars (by pounds). · The goal is to obtain the highest total poundage at the end of your 3 minute bending window. · All bends must be completed in a single set of Ironmind (IM) pads only. Bring your own IM pads or use the house IM pads. · The bender on deck will have an opportunity to grab up to 3 different diameter bars (1 each) to wrap before it is their turn to bend. No pre-wrapping more than one of the same diameter bar allowed. · The bender may use up to 2 extra sets of IM pads to pre-wrap different bar diameters before their 3 minute run starts (Please be ready when it is your turn). · Time will start when first bend is initiated. Time will not stop once started. · Only 1 failed attempt to complete a bar is allowed. The bender will then need to move on to another bar and set the failed attempt to the side and it will not be counted toward the total poundage. If a bender cannot complete a subsequent bar after a failure has been set aside, they must continue with that bar or return to the previously failed bar until either one of them has been bent or time is up. · DO, DU, Reverse acceptable, but all finished bends shall be 2” or less between stock ends to count. · No bracing. Hands and arms must not contact any part of the body below the waist. If this occurs, it is up to the judge’s discretion if the bend will be counted. · One rubber band per wrap at any one time allowed. A fresh band can replace damaged if needed, but time will not stop. Bands will be provided. · Highest total poundage wins class. Special Notes · 3 separate classes-Ladies (Open), Novice (9/32”and below) and (Open 5/16” and above). · Limited quantity of bar stock sizes. · Prizes will be awarded to the 1st and 2nd place in each class. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Juncker Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Will the amateur class be able to attempt any bars over 9/32" or will that be the max size in that class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bar diameters are able to be bent by all classes. Knowing which class you belong in will be on your honor. 4 minutes ago, KRC said: Amazing, cannot wait.

anwnate Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 If y'all think anything is out of line...please tell me. Feedback is encouraged (whether I take you advice or not ). I've attempted to make much more varied than last year. Both of these medleys are supposed to have doable and challenging items. With our numbers, a 1 minute medley will be a must. Watching others and having a good game plan will be paramount for success. Prizes will be awarded for each Medley. IMPORTANT. The attempting order will be REVERSE of the OVERALL SCORES. Just another little congratulations for a job well done. 2 Medley's Unleashed! 30 Items, 60 seconds Lighter Medley Heavier Medley Sorinex Block (34) IM Block (68) 3" Trilobyte (60) 4" no-spin handle (75) Fatgripz Dumbell (40) Fatgripz Dumbell (70) Goldbar (20) 1HP MK2 (140) Delmar Anvil (78) Little Big Horn (160) 2x25 Pinch (R+L) 2x35 Pinch (R+L) Plate Hub (10,25) Plate Hub (35,45) IM Hub (35) IM Hub (60) Dubhub Shallow (18) Shallow Hub Griptopz (45) Mammoth Coin (20) Half penny Griptopz (33) Homemade Stub (17) Stubtopz (35) 1" V-bar (100) 2" Vbar (200) Grippers CCS (47,55,60) Grippers CCS (100,120,142) Ivanko (1/1,5/5) Vulcan (Crom spring 4 notches both sides) Blobs (16,20,24,29,34,39) Blobs (41,44,48,51,52,53) Glob (28) Glob (33) Inverted Hex Lift (15,20,30) Inverted Hex Lift (40,50,60) Globtopz (20) Moontopz (35) Baby INCH (118) INCH (174) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, planning has to be in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
