The Static Monsters World Championships 2018 – Qualifying
With the release of the names of all those who have qualified tonight (November 2nd 2017) for the 2018 Static Monsters World Championships, here is some information that may help to answer a few questions.
- The top ten Monster Totals from each of the 8 weight classes will receive invitations to compete
- You have to compete in the weight class you qualified in. Due to the large number of athletes waiting for a spot in each weight class, we can not allow you to move weight classes.
- There is currently no Masters Class at the world championships for 2018
- If someone does not take up their invitation to compete, the next person in the rankings will be given the offer. So after the first person says no to their invitation, the person that came 11th in that class will then recieve the invitation to bring the numbers back up to 10 per weight class. This will continue down the rankings until all ten spots are filled for each of the 8 weight classes
- There will be a fee to participate in the Static Monsters World Championships (we expect it to be roughly $100 US Dollars for international competitors, made up of $80 competition fee and $20 Insurance fee)
- There is no currently confirmed prizemoney for the event (as at 2nd November 2017). We are hoping to have some sponsors to come on board so that we may offer prizemoney by the time the event comes around.
Competition Equipment: (Brought to you by Coco’s Gym – www.cocosgym.com.au)
- All weight classes will be competing using the same axle (minimum weight 160kgs )
- 62.5, 72.5, 82.5, Open Women, 80kg, 90kg classes will be using a 10 inch log (minimum weight 50kgs)
- 105 and Open Men will use a 12 inch log (minimum weight 85kgs)
Weighing In:
- Competitors will have the opportunity to weigh in on the day and up to 24 hours from the time of the first lift of the event. Competitors will have to weigh in, in Kilograms under their alloted weight class. For example if you compete as an Under 62.5kg woman, you will have to weigh in at 62.49kgs or less.
