GYM LADDER RULES

- Anyone that has done a ladder for any other sport, such as tennis, it will be very similar.

- Anyone that is interested will be in a ranked spot on the ladder.

- Anyone can join the ladder at any time and will start at the bottom and work your way up. (If you’re interested, just let one of the trainers know).

- You can move up the ladder by challenging the person directly ahead of you (you have to work yourself up the ladder 1 step at a time).

- In order to challenge the person ahead of you you have to give them 3 different workout options.

- The person that is challenged will then get to choose which of the 3 workouts that both will compete at.

- The trainers can call foul on the 3 workouts if their is not enough variety.

- You cannot use the same workout again for a challenge once you have used it before.

- You can, however, use a WOD that was presented as one of your 3 options before but not selected by the other people.

- You do not have to do the workout head-to-head, but a trainer must verify your time/reps/weight/etc.

- Once a workout has been agreed on both athletes will have a week to submit a score, and you CANNOT do the workout more than once. Failure to complete the WOD within a week by either person will result in a loss.

- Once a Challenge workout has taken place, the lower seed must give the higher seed at least 5 days to challenge the next higher seed before challenging them again.

-Once a Challenge has been made, the higher seed has a week to accept and agreed upon a WOD, otherwise the lower seed will automatically move up.

- Challenges are on a 1st come basis initially. If you challenge the person ahead of you, the person below you cannot challenge you until the other challenge is over.

-There is no scaling, eventually people should work their way on the ladder to be around pepole of the same ability. So as for “skill” movements, you may place them in 1 of your workouts but not more than 1. If your opponent can’t do it, they better pick 1 of the other 2. As for weight, if you pick a strength workout is one of your choices (i.e. 3 rep max back squat) than obviously it’s fine to lose by less weight. However, if the workout is not completely strength based I think you should try to agree on a weight that you both can do. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be “really heavy” for one of the people.

- Most importantly, be a good sport and HAVE FUN!!
