Group Round Rules
Teams comprised of 2-4 men compete for a spot in the regional semi-final. There will be 4 individual legs and one team leg. The legs are as follows:
Leg 1. 1 Mile Run (approx.) – A single member of the team will run about a mile (depending on the course available at the AO). And will tag the next member of the team.
Leg 2. Four Station Block BC 10/20/30/40 – A single member of the team will sprint with a block from station to station completing the specified exercise. (Examples: a baseball diamond, four corners of a court or field.) Sprint with block to the first station and complete 10 Blockees (burpees with a block), then sprint to the second station for 20 Block Curls, then sprint to the third station and complete 30 Block Overhead Presses, then sprint to the fourth and final station to complete 40 block squats (standard squat with block in hand for added weight). Once the teammate completes all 40 squats they can tag off to the third teammate for…
Leg 3. 1 Mile Run (approx.) – Same as leg one. A single member runs the same run as was used in the first leg. Once completed, all members of the team work together for…
Leg 4. Team Leg – The team block must travel the same course as Leg 2 (that is, around the baseball diamond, the field or court) minus the pain stations. On a grass field, the block must move by Murder Bunny (small frog-like hops advancing the block with two hands. (NOTE: Please ask for a demonstration before the event starts if needed). On a court or parking lot, the block will be advanced by the “sh*t brick” method (eg, pushed by hand while always remaining in contact with the surface–leaving behind a nice skid mark). NOTE: Teams can complete this any way they see fit–For example, one member pushing it all the way, four members taking turns or anything in between. As long as the block completes the course, you are done.
Leg 5. Wild Card – The first team to complete the team leg will make the call: 1 mile run or four station block bc 10/20/30/40. Whatever is called, it must be adhered to by all teams. The final teammate will complete the called discipline and the first across the finish is the winner.
The results will be shared on slack and the EOG committee will invite the winners to the next round the following week.
