COMPETITION RULES

World Obstacle Competition Rules are the official (authorised) reference documents and are maintained in accordance with recommendations by the World Obstacle Competitions Committee and accepted by the World Obstacle Executive Committee.


Competition Rules are specific to each event.  The races and competition rules are formatted to facilitate fairness, event flow, judging and eliminate back-ups at obstacles. A high level of obstacle proficiency is required and courses and are designed for completion by world level athletes in all categories. Races are not “failure” competitions, and are designed for national teams selected from the best athletes in each country.


PURPOSE


  1. The World Obstacle Technical Committee (TC) will ensure technical aspects of World Obstacle competitions are of the highest quality;
  2. The World Obstacle Competition Rules specify the conduct and behaviour of athletes during World Obstacle competitions.
  3. The World Obstacle Event Organizers’ Manual and its related documents set safety and logistical standards for host National Federations (NFs) and for the Local Organizing Committees (LOCs);
  4. The World Obstacle Technical Officials’ (TO) Certification Program sets the standards for certifying World Obstacle Technical Officials;


INTENTION


The World Obstacle Competition Rules are intended to:


  • Create an atmosphere of sportsmanship, equality, and fair play
  • Provide safety and protection
  • Emphasize ingenuity and skill without unduly limiting the athlete’s freedom of action
  • Penalise athletes who gain an unfair advantage
