How to Host a TSC

There are currently no strict requirements for hosting a TSC. We generally pick a few days each year and try to hold a TSC on each of those dates at various locations around the world. If you have the equipment for all of the events - deadlift bar and weights, pullup bar, kettlebells - plus someone competent to judge, a scale for weigh-ins, and someone to record the results, add a few willing participants and you're good to go.

A few reminders about TSC rules for potential hosts and judges:

Deadlift follows standard powerlifting rules - the bar must be raised without lowering and must be firmly locked out at the top - except that the TSC allows the bar to be dropped once the lift is completed.

Pullups must have something below the chin touch the bar - the throat or lower. If nothing touches the bar at the throat or chest, the rep does not count. Pullups may not be kipped - a dead hang before the first rep and every rep thereafter is required or the rep does not count.

Snatches require a pause at the top. While the pause does not have to meet the strict one-second pause standard of Girevoy Sport, getting the weight overhead is not sufficient. The movement must come to lockout and stop there before being lowered or the rep does not count.
