Head Judges – PER24

First wave starts – 0800 hrs

Estimated Finish: 2040 hrs (for the last athlete crossing the finish line)

You can and should issue penalties within your station where required. Please look up the exact penalties in the rulebooks (note: they slightly differ between the single and doubles division). 

For workstations 1-7, ensure you give the athlete one warning before distributing a penalty. A second offence results in a penalty i.e. it does not have to be the same movement standard breach, just a cumulative total.

You can reference the current HYROX Rulebook(s) HERE.

Athlete Number 

These are written on the forearm of each racer.

131003 stands = their start wave is at 13:10 hours exactly – i.e. the first 4 numbers always reflect the start time.

Note: The last two numbers are irrelevant unless you’re from the Timing Team 😉

Running and Workout Order

The running course is set around the workout zone (RoxZone).  

1 and a bit laps equal 1 Kilometre – but we always use HYROX language = In on the 2nd i.e. the second time they see the In Arch, they go through it.

If an Athlete misses a lap(s), they will get a 5 minute penalty per lap. This will automatically be added through the timing system. 

If an Athlete misses the workout order, they can still continue with the race and make up for the missing station, however a penalty of 3 minutes will be issued (through the timing system). 

All athletes are responsible for their race e.g. counting the run laps, sled laps etc.

Elimination from the Competition

If an athlete pulls out of the race or is not able to continue (their decision), please take a photo of their start number on the forearm and send the picture with the caption “DNF” (Did Not Finish) to the WhatsApp Group Chat.

Note: PLEASE ALWAYS TAKE THEIR TIMING CHIP. They can keep the strap but we need the timing chip back! 

Timing Issue

Should there be a timing issue at your workstation, (e.g. there is not enough equipment/machines available and an athlete has to wait),  please start a stopwatch and make sure to note the time and start number of the athlete. Send the time along with a photo of the athlete’s number (forearm) to the WhatsApp Group Chat.

As a Head Judge you are assigned to one workstation at a time (see tables below). 

Please read carefully through the rules and regulations of your designated workstation as it will be entirely in your charge. This includes ensuring that the weights and/or damper settings are correct, that the movement standards are met, and that the judges of your station are briefed/managed. 

Please find a detailed explanation of all movement standards incl. penalties, weights, settings and distances in the Rulebooks

The Head Judges live (online) briefing will take place on:

Please ensure you are familiar with your workstation assignment(s) and break rotations for race day(s). 

Rotations 

Please make not of your personal rotational schedule. We advise to pop this in your calendar for the day!

Note: Between 08:00 – 10:00 hrs (First wave starts) the RDs will advise on where to rotate and help with the crew.

Please use this time to check in with the team at each station, help where needed and ensure everyone is comfortable and workstations and arunning smoothly.

Head Judges will receive a radio for any emergencies. As part of the Sports Team you will operate on Channel 2 (named HYROX Sports on the digital display) // this will be permanently monitored by the Race Director(s).

In case of an Emergency, please clearly say ‘MEDIC’ and state the location and type of emergency. Please do not shout – we know its loud in the race hall but the microphone works best when you ‘speak’, as opposed to ‘shout’. 

Besides that, all Head Judges will communicate through their phone for any other enquiries or problems using the WhatsApp Group. This is a free app, please download this app prior to the competition.

WhatsApp ANDROID

WhatsApp IOS

You

Please bring your own water bottle as we will have water bubblers on site located next to the Wall Ball area. No water bottles will be provided. 

Vouchers for food and beverages will be provided at the beginning of your shift. These can be redeemed at the food outlet at the venue inside the race hall. The vouchers are not valid for alcohol purchases and consumption of alcohol whilst ‘on shift’ is strictly forbidden. 

Note: Certain dietary requirements such as vegan and gluten free have been catered for. But please know that the food outlets are provided by the venue – so if you have special dietary requirements/allergies, please self cater. 

Your Judges

As a Head Judge you are responsible for your judging team break-times. Please be responsible and make sure that the workout station is always covered with enough Judges. 

You will receive an official Head Judge Shirt so the participants can ID you.

Please bring non-branded black bottoms and black or neutral non-branded trainers. 

Note: Small branding on leggings and shorts is fine – just not NIKE (for example) splashed down an entire leg. 

To reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles, there’s a water bubbler on either side of the wall ball rig.

Please BYO a refillable water bottle!
