You've been TRAINING for months - now it is time to add in TACTICS and TEAMWORK and get back on the TURF. The Turf Games Combine is a Pairs competition where we visit 6+ gyms across the UK, starting on October 3rd and culminating in a final on December 12th. Athletes will compete in 4 workouts across a COMBINE testing various aspects of their fitness in a fun, competition style format. Each pair will be on the TURF for between 50 and 70 minutes to complete their workouts and have their scores on our LIVE! leaderboard.

THE FORMAT

The 'COMBINE' will be a PAIRS competition

Each location will be a 'stand alone' event. The winning pair from each of the above 3 categories at each location and date, will progress to the London final on December 12th at CrossFit Putney.

You will not need to wear one while inside the actual gym while competing, outside (if 2m+ from people) or sitting down at a table. If you are standing and cannot socially distance you will need to wear a facemask

We will have a photoboard at the venue - at some point while you are at the venue we would like to get a shot of all pairs during the day in their Turf Games tops so make sure you get one before you leave.

We do not spectators attending the event as we want to limit numbers and keep in line with the guidelines making it as safe for everyone in attendance. 

WORKOUTS

Pairs will compete in 4 workouts across the day

Each workout is maximum 10 minutes, you will have at least 5 minutes between workouts. So if you booked into 1.45 pm, your workouts will be 1.45pm, 2pm, 2.15pm, 2.30pm. If at the end of the day there are pairs on the same points, the pair with the most 'higher place' finishes will finish above.

At the end of each 10 minute workout - you MUST check your scorecard with the judge. Once you are happy with your score, the judge will write your initials next to the score to verify that is the final score. Due to COVID you will not sign as we want to avoid sharing pens.

DURING THE WORKOUTS

Although you will be working as a team, each athlete will have their own piece of equipment - this doesn't mean that you won't need to work as a team and discuss your tactics. We ask that you don't share equipment and you stick to the equipment assigned to you. Pairs will be socially distanced in lanes and we ask within your pair you try and stay 1m apart as often as you can. All equipment will be cleaned down after each pair has used it ready for the next pair.

You must sanitise your hands before you start each workout. You may bring your own chalk, but please do not share. Lifting shoes, lifting belts, wrist/knee straps are allowed, but nothing that covers the palm of the hand

ONCE FINISHED

Your workouts will take approximately 60 minutes. Once finished your last workout, if you can make your way off the TURF and follow the same protocols as when you arrive - sanitise your hands after your last workout and socially distance. There are NO shower/change rooms at Rosslyn Park that can be used for this event.

We are super pumped to get everyone back on the TURF and looking forward to a fun afternoon. Any questions please email us at team@turfgames.com
