Each elite athlete, once they confirm their attendance at the onsite phase and pay the corresponding fee, will receive a form in which they must provide the organization with their name, surname, ID, and the contact details of the coach who will accompany them to the onsite phase.

WODBUSTER ARENA will confirm to the athlete that they are officially registered once they finish and complete all the previously mentioned requirements.
Registrations will begin on April 1, 2024, and the registration period will close on June 3, 2024. For the team category, the registration phase will end once all available slots in each category are filled.
The online phase (elite) will take place between May 16 and June 3. The qualifying WODs will be the same as those of the Open 2024, and it will be mandatory for athletes to upload their video by posting the YouTube link (which can be the same as the Open) in addition to entering their score in WodBuster Arena. The results will be unofficial until the team of judges reviews and validates the video and the result of the WOD.
The final classification will be published on June 17, thereby determining the athletes who will advance to the onsite phase.

5. CLAIMS DURING THE ONLINE AND / OR ONSITE PHASES:

Claims in the qualifier: Up to 3 days after the publication (insert dates here – until 23:59), the claims will be analyzed over the following three days and responded to directly in WodBuster Arena. However, during the onsite phase, the scoring system will be by tables, with 100 points for the first place and successively for the following positions (always depending on the number of entrants per category).

6. ORGANIZATION CLAUSES:

The organization reserves the unquestionable and inalienable right to accept or reject an athlete’s registration. The organization also reserves the exclusive right to validate or invalidate an athlete’s scores.
TYR LX Games will be free from doping in this edition and subsequent editions, and athletes who test positive will not only be ineligible for monetary prizes but will also face penalties as determined and will be immediately expelled from the tournament.

7. TERMS OF ADHERENCE:

To participate in the event, the athlete confirms through their registration in WODBUSTER ARENA that they fully and completely agree with the rules and guidelines set forth in this Regulation.
Once at the onsite phase, they will sign again either onsite or through the channel provided by the competition organization, and minors will add the authorization of their legal guardians.

8. CLASSIFICATION AND SCORING SYSTEM:

The classification, both in the online and onsite phases, will be managed and can be consulted in WODBUSTER ARENA.
During the online phase, the scoring system will follow the method of reverse order in the classification. One point will be awarded to the first place, two points to the second, and so on.
During the online phase, the scoring system will follow a reverse order method in the classification. One point will be awarded to the first place, two points to the second, and so on, so that the athlete with the fewest points will have the highest position in the ranking.
In the event of a tie, the first criterion to be considered will be the total number of first places each tied athlete has achieved in the rest of the WODs in the TYR LX Games competition. If the tie persists, the result of the last WOD will be considered, placing ahead in the general classification the athlete who achieved a better position in the last WOD of the TYR LX Games.
Thus, during the online phase, the scoring system will be by ranking.
However, during the onsite phase, the scoring system will be by tables.

9. COMPLAINTS AND CLAIMS:

Online and onsite phases:
In either case (online qualifier and/or onsite), the claim must be processed through WodBuster Arena. Within the app/ my competitions / athlete zone / “claims,” they will be able to process them.
NO claim that has not been processed through the WodBuster Arena platform will be heard or handled. Athletes will have 30 minutes from when the score of each WOD is published to make such a claim, except in the WOD of the final, which will be 15 minutes. After this time, no claims will be addressed.
Claims considered false, unfounded, or made with the intention of affecting the process may lead to the restriction of the ability to make future claims for the involved user, as well as a penalty of -25 points in the overall classification.

10. COACHES:

In TYR LX GAMES, the management and handling of coaches will be as follows:
Each elite athlete, once they confirm their attendance at the onsite phase and pay the corresponding fee, will send the organization the name, surname, and ID of the coach who will accompany the athlete to the onsite phase.
The coach will receive an invitation to attend the onsite phase with the athlete, without having to buy a ticket to enter the TYR LX GAMES venue.
The coach will have access to all areas of the competition zone (warm-up area and athlete zone).
Only ONE coach per athlete is allowed and it is not transferable, meaning the personal details given for the coach cannot be changed or transferred, being the same coach who must be with the athlete during the event, and no other person can enter as the athlete’s coach.
If during the three days of competition the initially registered coach cannot attend, they cannot be replaced by another coach/person. Any change of coach must be made before the start of the onsite phase. The athlete must communicate this via email and must receive confirmation of the coach change from the organization.
The organization may request, at any time during the three days of competition, identification from the coaches to verify that the coach with the athlete is the one registered by the athlete at the time of registration. If an athlete enters with another coach who is not the one registered by the organization, and it is someone else impersonating the coach, both the coach and the athlete will be immediately expelled from the tournament, and the athlete will not be able to continue in the competition from that point due to this breach of rules.
Coaches will have specific accreditation distinct from the athletes.
In the case of teams, only ONE coach per team may access the competition area.

11. CODE OF CONDUCT:

All athletes registered in TYR LX GAMES agree to compete sportively and respect the rules, regulations, and guidelines set by any member of the organization and/or staff in each case.
Arguing with any member of the organization and/or staff of TYR LX GAMES, or with any athlete, spectator, and sponsor of the event, disrespecting, fighting, insulting, shouting, or any behavior that involves physical and/or psychological aggression, will be grounds for penalty, suspension, disqualification, removal from the event, and/or the taking of legal actions if required.
Any action that results in another athlete being unable to compete fairly and on equal terms, or that impedes the communication of the athlete with the judge or any member of the organization, will be considered for a possible penalty, suspension, disqualification, and/or legal measures.
If any coach engages in the aforementioned behaviors, it will harm their athlete since the penalty, suspension, or measure taken by the organization will be applied to both, coach and athlete.
The event director will ultimately decide the sanction to apply. This decision will be final, and non-acceptance by the coach and/or athlete will result in the involvement of law enforcement to take the necessary measures.
The obligation to comply with the code of conduct also applies to any spectator attending TYR LX GAMES, and the sanctions mentioned above may be applied to anyone who fails to adhere to these rules.
