HOW TO BUY YOUR TEAM
When team entry goes live on Thursday 7th March @ 7pm QLD time, all you need to do is buy your team. It isn't required that you know, or link your other 5 athletes to the team upon purchase - this can be done at a later date. You will need to give your team a name - don't worry - this can be changed up until 4 weeks before the competition.
Can I buy multiple teams? Short answer is YES! However, you can only buy one team per account on Team Aretas. So if you want to buy multiple teams you either need multiple accounts on Team Aretas (different email address), or have some friends, members purchase the other teams.
MOVEMENT STANDARDS
The below weights are assuming you can perform multiple reps at these weights (5-8 reps). This is the minimum work standards. There will be other movements in the competition aside from what is listed below (things that may come up are - sled pushes, 2/4 person worm movements, different barbell movements plus more).
Weights in the competition may vary from the below. If you can achieve the below movements with the weights listed - you will be able to do Turf Games in the relevant division. The competition will be programmed around fun, challenging workouts, designed to test teams based around what athletes in each division are capable of.
The list above is a guide only and is not exhaustive, the listed movements may or may not appear in the comp.
Please note there will NOT be, in any division - muscle ups, HSPU, handstand walks, butterfly or kipping pull ups.
