The Natural Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) It probably needs a little touch. What you've said there assumes that the 1st place guy gets all 20 implements. But by the same token how are the other events scored? One could, for arguments sake (silly but bare with me), come last in all of the previous non-medley events scoring 1 point each time then win the medley by lifting all the implements and beat someone who came 1st in all the big events and last in the medley?You also might wanna consider time as an issue. Viz: if two guys lift the same amount of implements the fastest one wins. Then how are they scored? It's a pain with these sort of things but best to get it out of the way now. Chad can speak for himself on how he wants things arranged, but this is my suggestion... First, strongman scoring in my experience assigns 1 point to 1st place for an event, 2 points to 2nd place, and so on. The competitor with the lowest number of points at the end of the competition wins. So the guy finishing last would not get one point. The winner would. (Sometimes it goes the other way around (as in IFSA), with the winner getting the most points and the last place guy getting the fewest. Doesn't really matter though). Best performance on an event gets 1 point, as stated above. So whoever lifts the most medley items gets 1 point, whether or not he lifts all of the medley items. If the best performance for the medley is 15 items lifted, then 15 matches up to 1, and next best performance matches up to 2, on down the line. As far as ties, this is how the IFSA does it: "Ties in individual disciplines will share appropriate placing and points except int the overall competition where places will be decided by one of the following: 1) Most 1st places 2) Most 2nd places 3) Most 3rd places" In traditional strongman scoring, time does not have tie-breaking power, but Chad can change that if he wants. It does make things a bit more complicated. -Rex Edited March 12, 2009 by The Natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Time would be the tie breaker not score maker... could work. It's just that it was a timed or time limited event. Best, as I said, to get this all done well ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...If you won ALL the 5 events...then you would have 100 points...granted we have 20 competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have had a lot of guys sending me PM's about the RT event. I am going by Ironmind rules to be more specific in my rules...only change is that i am using an old seasoned handle. I hope this helps Chad Rolling Thunder® Contest Rules 1. An authentic IronMind® Rolling Thunder® handle must be used, it cannot have been modified in any way, and it must be inspected to ensure that it revolves freely. The lift starts with the weight in between the lifter’s feet. In the world championships (and the U.S. nationals), the 15"; loading pin and large carabiner that IronMind sells are used (this standardizes the lifting height). Any other loading pin and carabiner with the same dimensions could be used. 2. The lifter grabs the Rolling Thunder handle in approximately its center and lifts with the handle remaining approximately parallel to the ground. A thumbless grip is not permitted. 3. Any contact between the lifter's hand and the non-revolving portion of the handle disqualifies the lift. 4. The lifter must fully straighten up; once standing straight, the lifter gets a down signal from the referee, and must then return the weight to the ground. Contact must be maintained between the lifter's hand and the handle until the weight is resting on the floor. The referee then indicates whether the lift was passed or not. 5. In contest situations, we give the lifter one minute to complete the lift after his/her name is called; during that minute, there is no limit to how many times the lifter may try to complete the lift. 6. Ordinary chalk may be used on the lifter's hand, but nothing else is permitted (tacky, for example, is specifically disallowed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
