A DX (intermediate/scaled) level and an RX level. Your day 2 division will be decided by your placement on the leaderboard of day 1. At the end of the weekend we will have 6 podiums, an RX and DX for each category.

DAY 2: WHAT TO EXPECT 
Today we will separate each category in to 2 divisions based day 1 placing.

For the teams that do not move up you can expect a similar standard of testing to day 1. Workouts will have a focus on FITNESS without the inclusion of the really advanced skills. 

The top teams will move up to an RX category where you can expect to see heavier barbells, some more advanced gymnastics and some tougher time caps!
