Bad idea! Don't like double points for any event. The whole point of strongman is to test all areas of strength not make one more important than others. I can see the logic as it's s**t for tv guys not doing the stones but there must be another way.

Cut groups down to 5 per group which should stop guys getting such a lead as only a 4 point swing per event and let's face it the last place guys in groups don't add to the Comp but can upset points if the have 1 good event. If I was competing and the did this for overhead I wouldn't be happy

Platforms are lower in heats too hixxy you'll be happy about so at least it is fairer now.

I know they've handed out 'King of the stones' trophies in the past for the heats. Does anyone know if this came with a financial reward as well? I know money can't just be magicked up, but that's surely a better way than screwing some of the guys over for the sake of better tv.

I've just read this on the IronMind forum.

"except in 2010 where they were replaced by barrel loading, the atlas stones have been used a lot recently to settle group standings. This is what would have happened from 2009 to 2014 with the stones being double points:
2009: No changes to the finalists
2011: No changes to the finalists
2012: No presumed changes to the finalists (in heat 4, Ervin Katona lifted up one stone only but could have done more if needed, and the same scenario occurred with Krszystof Radzikowski in heat 5)
2013: No changes to the finalists
2014: In heat 2, Dave Ostlund would have taken Jean-François Caron's qualifying spot but Caron would have remained in the final as a wild card."

All credit to Eloi Fournier for this work, I've just copied and pasted it.

That'd be disgusting to not make the final on that performance!

Congratulations Terry! I don't do Facebook, but I presume you're expecting?
Boy or girl? Names?
Are you still injured? I heard you were thinking of entering a powerlifting comp in the future? Is that still on the card? What comp, what are you looking to lift?

Yes we have a little hollands on the way. No names or don't know sex yet

I just wanna qualify for the British classic and then hit some decent numbers there. I still have back issues but I can train at about 80% now

I would solve the problem by only having 5 events in the heats allowing me to up the events in the final to 8.

I would love to see frame carry as the last event. All 6 guys going together.
