Disciplines, Weight Divisions, Age Divisions & Score Coefficient

Each athlete has 30 min to perform as many repetitions as possible without placing his/ her kettlebell(s) down. The athlete may change hands at will. If the athlete puts the kettlebell(s) down before the 30 minutes are over, his results will be voided (score = 0).

Athletes must compete in the same discipline at each of the 3 stages throughout the league, but may use different kettlebell sizes. If any athlete wants to, it is possible to compete in more than one discipline – or all of them.

Athletes compete according to their discipline and weight category, using a coefficient based on the kettlebell size they chose to lift.

Weight divisions

• Women: -60, 60-70, +70kg
• Men: -75, 75-85, +85kg
• Weight fluctuations: an athlete may end up being in different weight classes over the course of a year. However, his/her heaviest weight category will be used for the final score.
• In the case of a tie, the athlete with the lowest body weight wins.

Age divisions

Age is calculated according to the athlete’s year of birth, NOT the actual birthday.

• Junior division: Under 15 (<15)
• Open division: 15-49 years
• Veteran division: Over 50 (>50) Veterans are free to compete in the open class!!

Results calculation

Score = repetitions * KB coefficient

The score from each stage is accumulated into a final total score.

Fx:

If a male athlete does Half Snatch with 24 kg and achieves 420 reps.

Score: 420 x 4,20 = 1.764 points

A female athlete does double LC with 2x10kg and achieves 275 reps.

Score: 275 x 1,30 = 357,50 points

The Vulture Wood Coefficient for 2019 and 2020 – NOT TO BE USED – INFO ONLY!!

In 2019  a whole new coefficient system was introduced. The new 2019-coefficient was developed by Erik Wittendorf Hofman-Bang from Vulture Wood Kettlebell. The coefficient was replaced in 2021 by the new IKMF Coefficient, but is kept here for info to understand the results from 2019+2020.
