Q&A Qualifier Workout
Send us questions about the qualifier workout to zrhgms024@zurich-gamse.ch. We will publish the answers here so that everyone can benefit from them.
Are all scores worth the same amount
of points? Or is maybe the tiebreak less?
The TB will be scored the same way as the all other workouts. Background: we want that the athletes are
giving their best throughout the entire 26min and have to come up with an
individual strategy according to their strength / weakness how to tackle the
qualifier.
In the "Quick
Indications", it says the following: Using tape AND gymnastics grips at
the same time is NOT allowed. Does it mean that if I tape my
thumbs for the initial barbell complex I will have to remove the tape before
moving into the 2nd workout, where grips will be used for the toes2bar?
With tape we intend to tape the
gymnastic bar and not the fingers. So,
grips and tape on the fingers is fine.

What if you accidentally touch the box on the burpee box jump over, like if you trip and fall. Do you have to repeat the burpee and the jump or just the jump?
The movement always starts with the athlete facing the box (M 60cm / F 50cm) while touching their chest and thighs to the ground. And the movement ends with a two foot landing on the other side of the box. If something goes goes wrong in between the athlete has to start from the beginning of the movement. Hence, touching their chest and thighs to the ground. The movement can be repeated from form either sides of the box.
In the standard for the burpee box jumps overs, it says something about a line, to ensure we stay perpendicular to the box. But it isn't mentioned in the equipment list. Do we have to tape that or do we just have to make sure we stay in the correct position throughout the movement?
The line we mention is an imaginary line. So no need to tape it. However, some athletes actually use a tape as an orientation. Feel free to do so if it helps to keep you perpendicular to the box.
What do you need a tiebreaker for?
We believe that in the latter part of the workout, many athletes will get "stuck" in almost the same spot. The tiebreaker will help us to create a better ranking here. Please enter the time on the monitor of the rowing machine for the rowing part and the time on the timer as the tiebreaker.
Do I need to be able to do BMUs und WFSHSPUs in order to qualify?
No, you do not need to! There are 4 other scores an a TB which will give you the possibility to qualify for the finals in September.
If I qualify in the top 24M/16F, do I need to start as an individual athlete?
No, you do not need to! You have the option to build a team of any two. However, we like to see all top 24M/16M will as individual athletes. Since the workouts will be programed accordingly.
Do we have to be affiliated or a member of a network to become a Qualifier Partner?
No, you don't have to! As an organization, you merely need to ensure that the specified workout standards are met. On the score sheet, you must also sign to show that the scores correspond to the athlete's performance.
