All athletes are expected to compete with integrity, respect, and sportsmanship.
- Follow all movement standards, equipment rules, and event flow instructions.
- Treat judges, staff, volunteers, and fellow athletes with respect at all times.
- Unsportsmanlike conduct, arguing with judges, or disruptive behavior may result in penalties, loss of event points, or disqualification at the discretion of event staff.
- Athletes are responsible for unloading and resetting their equipment during designated rest/setup time.
- Spectators must remain behind designated viewing lines at all times.

Events will be run in staggered heats. Athletes must be present and ready when their heat is called.

Athletes will have a designated 15-minute warm-up period prior to the first event. Late arrivals will not receive additional warm-up time.

Each event is followed by a 5-minute interval, which includes unloading/resetting equipment, rest, transition, and setup for the next movement.

Athletes are responsible for selecting, loading, unloading, and verifying their own weights.

Restroom / Personal Breaks

Athletes may leave the competition floor during rest periods for restroom or personal needs. The event schedule will not be paused. If an athlete is not present when their heat begins an event, their time will continue to run and missed work will not be made up.

Injury / Event Withdrawal

Athletes may withdraw from the competition or from individual events at any time.

Athletes who skip an individual event due to injury or discomfort may continue competing in subsequent events if they feel able. Athletes will receive last-place points for any event they do not complete.

Athletes who withdraw from the remainder of the competition will retain scores earned up to that point but will receive last-place points for all remaining events.

No re-runs or schedule adjustments will be provided due to injury or withdrawal.

Charge Fit Games is designed to measure individual effort and output. This competition is about your personal performance, not who has the loudest or most strategic corner.

Spectators are encouraged to cheer and support athletes. Coaching, pacing, counting, or strategy instruction during active events is not allowed.

Examples of coaching include (but are not limited to): calling out rep counts, telling athletes when to switch or rest, giving movement cues, or providing pacing or strategy guidance.

Passive rep tracking (such as silently writing reps on a whiteboard for the athlete to view between sets) is permitted, provided no instructions or cues are given.

Coaching Violations

Any instance of coaching, pacing, counting, or strategy instruction during the competition will result in one warning issued to the athlete.

Any subsequent coaching at any point during the competition will result in the athlete being disqualified from the event in which the coaching occurs and receiving last-place points for that event.

Charge Fit Games is offered both as a ranked competition and as a benchmark experience.

Athletes seeking to participate for benchmarking purposes or who require movement modifications due to injury, mobility, or skill level may request approved modifications prior to the event. Approved modifications must be disclosed in advance and will be applied consistently within that event.

Event staff reserves the right to approve or deny modifications to preserve fairness and safety.
