Teams and sign-up

  1. Only students of the studio can take part, in teams of 3 members. There is no limit on the number of teams.
  2. Sign-up is on WhatsApp at +52 444 540 2468. Send the team name and the names of its 3 members.

Tournament format

  1. There are no rounds or eliminations. Each team competes only once.
  2. One team competes at a time.
  3. The team with the best time wins. There is no time limit.

How the relay works

  1. There must always be one person in plank. When a person can no longer continue, they tell a teammate, who gets on.
  2. The person who was in plank gets down only when the person coming in is already in position.

How time is measured

  1. There are two stopwatches: one in the system and one kept by the teachers.
  2. The system stopwatch is the main one. If it fails, the teacher's time is used.

Penalties

  1. If a person falls before their teammate is in position, the stopwatch pauses until someone on the team takes the plank again. In addition, 15 seconds are subtracted from the team's accumulated time.
  2. If the position fails, the teacher gives a warning and the person has 3 seconds to correct it. If they do not correct it, 10 seconds are subtracted from the team's accumulated time. There is no limit on penalties of this kind.

Setup and valid position

  1. The Reformer has the red spring setup.
  2. Forearms resting on the carriage, body in a straight line from head to heels, with no raised or sunken hips.
  3. Feet must go on the bar.

Judges

  1. The teachers watch the position of every participant. The teacher's decision is final and cannot be appealed.

Tiebreaker

  1. If there is a tie for first place, there will be a tiebreaker until there is a winner. Each team chooses one member and they compete in one plank on the Reformer. The one who lasts longer wins. If they tie again, it repeats with another member until the tie breaks.

Prizes

  1. The team with the best time receives a prize.

Safety and conduct

  1. Each participant takes part at their own risk and can leave at any time.
  2. Before starting, the teachers give a short safety briefing and a warm-up.
  3. Respect the other teams and cheer without getting in the way. It is a celebration!
