General info

The success of our competitions is the focus on the beginning athlete. By beginning athlete we mean anyone who has little to no competition experience and wants to experience this as an individual athlete. Our competitions are also the perfect start for your progression to higher level competitions. 

We want everyone who participates, regardless of their fitness level, to experience the feeling of being on the competition floor, cheered by hundreds of spectators, friends and family and where you can shine in our community. 

Our competitions do not have an elite division because it does not fit within our beginner concept. The organization reserves the right to: 

• refuse these athletes.
• reassign these athletes to a higher division (is considered on a case-by-case basis).

If you have any doubts whether you can participate or not, we ask you to inform us in advance by sending us an email via the email address you can find below.

The concept:

• earn your spot to the finals via the qualifier;
• designed for the beginner athlete;
• if you make it to the finals >>> NO multiple, long, hard workouts spread out over 2 or more days;
• only 1 day of competition for ALL divisions (Saturday or Sunday);
• tight time schedule so everyone knows when to start and when it is done;
• ALL participants are doing 3 different workouts spread out during the day with NO cut-off;
• NO finals to determine the 1th, 2th and 3th place overall;
• testing endurance, strength, power, skill, bodyweight exercises or a mix of all mentioned.

The competition includes four levels to play:

• Teens (scaled + regular)
• Scaled
• Regular
• Advanced
• RX

Unique in the Deutschland Showdown divisions are the age groups. Athletes only compete against others that are in the same age group and division as them:

• 18 t/m 28
• 28 t/m 35
• 36 t/m 45
• 40 t/m 49
• 46 t/m 55
• 55+
