WEIGHTLIFTING FACE-OFF
Presented by Crossfit Torva
WHAT IS IT?
This isn’t your traditional Weightlifting competition…
This modern and exciting twist takes the best of Weightlifting, adds the high energy of Crossfit competition, and puts it in a bracketed, head-to-head format.
BRACKETING TOURNAMENT
Action all-day, as 16 athletes of each gender battle through 4 rounds of competition.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
The back and forth action of two platforms elevates the energy as competitors have a minute to lift it.
SINCLAIR SCORING
This coefficient allows for lifters in any weight class to go head-to-head, creating unique match-ups each round.
EVENT RULES
ELIGIBILITY & DIVISIONS
Anyone can compete! No USAW membership required.
There will be a Men’s Division and Women’s Division, each containing 16 athletes, for a total of 32 athletes.
REGISTRATION & SEEDING
The first 16 athletes to register, and pay, for each division will be eligible to compete. These athletes will then be seeded for competition, within their divisions, based on their Sinclair Coefficient. You can find specifications about the Sinclair Coefficient here.
COMPETITION FORMAT
Athletes will be challenged in the opening round with alternating minutes of the snatch, and after a brief reset, the clean & jerk. The athlete with the higher sinclair total advances in the bracket.
Round two features just the snatch. The semi-finals, the clean and jerk. And the finals will feature both lifts again. You can find the full set of rules here.
