About This Competition


RAINHILL SUMMER 2022 - powered by NOCCO UK

Welcome to the Rainhill Summer 2022

This no qualifier event is designed to open competition to any and all regardless of your experience. Once registered competitors will complete a series of seeding workouts which allows athletes of different abilities to be placed in one of four levels of competition. These competitors will then take to the live floor at SPORTCITY in MANCHESTER over the weekend of SATURDAY 16TH JULY and SUNDAY 17TH JULY to challenge themselves against entrants of a similar ability. Athletes will only compete on one of the two days, depending on their category.

The event will be open to 480 athletes; 240 male and 240 female.

Due to demand entry is via INVITATION ONLY - following draw from a random ballot. If successful in the ballot you will be able to register for the competition at a cost of £85 plus booking fee at which time you can also order a Rainhill Trials t-shirt or vest for £25 for collection at the event. The entry fee covers both the seeding phase and the live phase - there is no further registration fee to pay.

After entry the athletes will be able to submit a series of seeding results, with all seedings due by 12TH JUNE 2022. 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 60 male and female athletes will compete in the Rocket category; athletes 61-120 competing in the Kennedy category, athletes 121-180 competing in the Rastrick category and athletes 181-240 competing in the Wood category. (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 leaderboard will be hidden until seeding submissions have closed, with seeding results released no later than 19TH JUNE 2022.

The competition itself will take place over the weekend of SATURDAY 16TH JULY and SUNDAY 17TH JULY at SportCity in Manchester.
