Judging Criteria

Rules created in accordance with WSWCF Rules and Regulations.

16.18. Competition with 3 power exercises for the maximum number of repetitions.

16.19. Participants have to perform three basic street workout/calisthenics elements with additional weight and one without weight. These elements have to be performed without dead stop on each repetition one after the other.

Weighted belts for Weighted Pullups and Weighted Dips shall be provided by Organizers and their parameters shall be at least the following:

• Total weight of the belt not higher than 1kg (Please note that total weight of the belt shall not be counted in the weight mentioned in clause 16.3.1. and 16.3.2., thus it is additional weight as well);

• Length of the steel chain (not longer than 85cm (eighty-five centimeters) and not shorter than 75cm (seventy-five centimeters);

• Widest part of the belt width (back) – 16cm (sixteen centimeters);

• Narrowest part of the belt width (front) – 10cm (ten centimeters);

Strength

• In the max strength category, points are awarded for every repetition deemed acceptable by the judges. 1 point is awarded for every acceptable rep.

• The winner is determined by counting the total repetition earned in all four elements.
  As an example: The result of the athlete – 10 muscle-ups, 20 pull-ups, 38 dips, 46 squats. The total score in points: 10+20+38+46 = 114 points.

• For all weighted movements, the athlete’s weight must be taken before taking part.

• The longest pause allowed between each rep is two seconds.

  Muscle-Up

• Must be performed in clean exercise form which will be shown by judges before the competition starts.

  Pull-Up

• Has to be performed on the horizontal bar from the lowest hanging position with arms in a shoulder-width grip, and, while at the lowest hanging position, the arms have to be straight in elbow and shoulder joints.

• At the highest point of performing the athletic element, the chin of the athlete has to be over the horizontal bar and touch the special platform.

• Pull-ups have to be performed with a straight body and legs, without crossing the legs.

• It is not allowed to swing or perform pull-ups with non-power inertia.

• It is not allowed to use straps, hooks, or any other equipment to remove the load from the “grip”.

• The maximum pause between repetitions at the lowest position of the element performance is 2 seconds. The counting is conducted by a competition judge. If the participant deliberately prolongs the pause for more than this period of time, the participant has to end his performance of the element and, at that moment, the result is entered according to the number of repetitions performed so far.

  Dips

• performed on parallel bars have to be executed starting from the highest point of the element performance, i. e., from the position with straight arms over the parallel bars.

• At the lowest point of the element performance, the angle at the athlete’s elbow joint must be equal to or less than 90 degrees.

• When performing dips on parallel bars, the back inclination should be straight and fixated. If dips on parallel bars will be executed by tilting forwards, with the pelvis area stationary, then these repetitions will not be counted. The wooden box will be placed in one foot (participant shoe size) distance behind the participant and if the participant is touching this wooden box with his legs, repetition is not counted.

• Maximum pause between repetitions at the highest position of the element performance is 2 seconds. The counting is conducted by a competition judge. If the participant deliberately prolongs the pause for more than this period of time, the participant has to end his performance of the element and, at that moment, the result is entered according to the number of repetitions performed so far. As it is not possible to provide repeated counting of the 2 seconds on the stopwatch (technically difficult), then the pause, which needs to be under two seconds, starts from the moment the athlete finishes performing a repetition, straightening arms at the elbow joints, and the judge announces the “number of repetitions” (e.g. “twenty two”), until the judge says “one”, at which point the participant has to continue the performance of the element (repetition). If the participant prolongs the pause and the judge says “two”, then two seconds have already passed and the participant has to stop the performance of the element. This method of time measurement has been verified experimentally, using a stopwatch. The time on the stopwatch, when the judge said “two” was 2.1-2.4 seconds, depending on the length of the phrases of the number of counted repetitions (“twenty two”, “thirty-eight”, etc.).

• The performance and repetition of the element is only allowed to start after the judge has given the command by touching the hand of participant.

Pistol Squats

• Must be performed on flat surface.

• Additional weight - +30% bodyweight calculated before exercise is performed.

• Additional weight will be added using a kettlebell, which must be raised on one side, aligned with the shoulder and resting on the forearm of the participant.

• Perform max amount on one side and place the kettlebell back on the floor and raise it again to the opposite shoulder. Perform as many as you can on the opposite leg.

• At the lowest point of the element performance, the angle at the athlete’s knee joint must be equal to or less than 90 degrees.

• At the highest position in the element performance, the athlete has to straighten the legs at the knee and hip joint, that is, the body has to be positioned vertically.

• The maximum pause between repetitions at the lowest/highest position of the element performance is 2 seconds. The counting is conducted by a competition judge. If the participant deliberately prolongs the pause for more than this period of time, the participant has to end his performance of the element and, at that moment, the result is entered according to the number of repetitions performed so far.

• The performance of the element is only allowed to start after judges have given the command.

  
  
  Strength

• For the strength circuit, you will be allocated a random position to start. This means you start with the exercise assigned to you, this will be a station, and you will work your way around until you have completed each one.

• You will be allocated a reps counter individually who will work with you throughout the circuit and provide your total time to the official judge.

• This can be subject to change depending on the number of participants. Athlete will be informed before the competition begins if anything in terms of the layout has changed. The movements and repetitions will not.
