ARCHON FITTEST
POWERED BY HAMMER STRENGTH
ARCHON FITTEST
SEASON I
The 1st ever digitally powered fitness competition means that to win it, you will have to show your ability across every facet of fitness, not just be a workout warrior.
The first competition of its kind. We will test every part of your fitness. You'll need to get through the online Combine to get to regionals. You'll then need to prove your fitness in one of 4 regional live combines. If you get through this stage you'll be invited to the Archon Arena, where you'll be seeded and put up against other athletes round by round until one of you walks out with the title of Archon's Fittest.
Everyone will be measured via Archons P4P process (pound 4 pound) and so you might find yourself matched up against a very different type of athlete in every single round. You'll need to prove that you have what it takes to beat everyone else in every component of fitness.
The fitness industry has never seen a format like ours. Seeing your progress from year to year gives you an idea of how far or close you are to competing at each level.

The Archon Fittest is the first competition of its kind to create a fully digital and physical experience.
Throughout the duration of the competition, every entry has full access to the Archon platform. Utilising the platform will assist every athlete to understand their strengths, and weaknesses, and also how much they need to improve.
There will be a live regional leaderboard so that everyone will be able to see where they are if they are in contention to attend the regionals, or how much they need to improve to make the cut.

STAGE 1
ONLINE QUALIFIERS
You'll be required to complete a series of physical assessments, all of which will test your abilities within every area of fitness. Some will test strength, others your engine, but all will see if you have what it takes to reach regionals.
STAGE 2
LIVE REGIONAL COMBINE
160 will be invited to one of 4 regional combines (North, East, South, and West). You'll be required to complete the same assessments as in the qualifiers, only live with a judge. 40 will progress to the Arena where your assessment results will provide your seeding for the final.
STAGE 3
THE ARENA BRACKET
If you have made it this far, you will now take your last step into the Arena. Before you arrive you will have been seeded into a bracket, head-to-head format. A series of workouts and tests will assess every part of your fitness.

As part of your registration, you will also receive an active subscription to the Archon platform so that you can look at your data, see how many meters, reps, watts, or whatever you need in order to increase your rating to move up the leaderboards and make it to regionals.
REGIONALS AND FINALS
These are additional.
If you make it through to regionals and the finals you will continue to have full access to the Archon Platform to help you with your training ready for each stage of the event.
Regionals will have you complete all the elements of the qualifiers but in a live environment. As much as possible your training should be geared to this date, as you will want to record as many PR's as possible throughout the day. The higher your rating, the higher your seeding going into the final which will put you at an advantage in the first round.
No other competition has such a structure to it. Archon's fittest is designed to give your training throughout the rest of the year meaning.

Prizes
We will be announcing prizes really soon, but seeing as we are doing things a little differently, we thought we needed to follow in the same vein with the prize fund.
So with that in mind, we are going to be having a standard prize package, but also committing to 10% of the revenue created by ticket sales from all stages of the competition going into a total prize fund.
We'll have one big prize for the overall Fittest as well as some runners-up prizes and prizes for some of the best performances throughout the competition.
The same will be put in place for the team version.

STANDARD FORMAT
This is Season 1, every subsequent season will be the same standard format so that you will be able to train for Archon's Fittest as either part of your normal training regime or as a specific date in the calendar.
Every season you will be able to see how your rating has improved, and not just view yourself as a position on a leaderboard. What's the point of being 3000th out of 10,000 one year and then 2000 but out of only 4,000 the next? By having a rating you can see if you are actually improving or not.
