RAINHILL ONLINE 2020
About This Competition
RAINHILL ONLINE - powered by NOCCO UK
Welcome to the first ONLINE Rainhill Trials! Information regarding the competition and seeding workouts can all be found on our landing page. From here, you can also register, submit your seeding scores and view the seeding results once published!
Rainhill Online will take the Rainhill Trials seeding concept, which allows athletes of different abilities to be placed in one of three levels of competition, and move it onto a virtual playing field allowing those competitors to challenge themselves against entrants of a similar ability across five workouts over the course of a week competition.
The event will be open to 720 athletes; 360 male and 360 female.
Entry will be on a first come first served basis with the tickets released at midday on Saturday 12th September. Tickets will cost £15 plus booking fee. You'll also have the option to purchase a Rebel Clothing Rainhill Trials T-shirt, vest or tank for £18 including postage.
After entry the athletes will be able to submit a series of seeding results over the course of a four-week period, with all seedings due by Sunday 11th October. Details on the seeding workouts required can be found linked from this page.
The scores across all the scored components will be then used to determine your "qualifying position" - highest score receiving the highest position. The top 120 male and female athletes will compete in the Rocket award; athletes 121-240 competing in the Kennedy award, and athletes 241-360 competing in the Wood award. (If not all athletes submit seeding results then the categories will be an equal distribution of the total number of athletes entered)
Please note, the seeding scores are designed to place you in a category with athletes of similar overall average ability. This is likely to mean you are stronger in certain areas of the seedings than other athletes in your category, and weaker in others. The seeding scores are NOT an indication of the only movements you will be expected to perform in the competition.
The competition itself will take place over the week of 19th to 24th October. One workout will be released per day Monday to Friday at 8am. Athletes will have until midnight the following day to complete the workout and submit their scores. E.g. WOD 1 will be released at 8am Monday 19th October, with submissions closing at 11.59pm on Tuesday 20th October. No further registration or payment is required for the second phase of the competition.
All athletes will complete five workouts, with the final results announced on the morning of Wednesday 28th October.
