RIVAL in the North 2026

Location: UNITE Strength & Conditioning 4C Swanston Drive, Waverley TAS 7250

Sponsored By: 

RIVAL in the North is a two-day pairs competition, consisting of 1 male and 1 female throughout the weekend. There is an exception to this rule, female pairs are allowed however one female will have to complete the male portion of the workout. There are no separate divisions, therefore a F/F team will be scored against M/F teams.

REGISTRATION. Opens Friday, 01 August & closes Thursday, 15 October 2026. > Inclusions: Entries prior to Sunday, 16 August will receive a TMBP Competition Tee*. > Entry Fee: $ 340.00 per team. > 4 Divisions: Advanced, Intermediate, Scaled and Masters 40+. Capped at 15/20 teams per division (subject to change).

Your team position at RITN is confirmed as soon as you have completed the registration through Competition Corner & payment is received. From this point on, your spot is non-refundable, however can be transferred to another team via your own arrangement.

DIVISION ELIGIBILITY & PODIUM POLICY  To promote fair and competitive divisions, teams that have previously podiumed at any RITN event will be required to move up a division and may not register in the same division in which they previously placed. For example, teams that have previously podiumed in the Intermediate Division are not eligible to compete in Intermediate again and will be required to compete in the next division above. This policy does not apply to the Advanced Division. RITN reserves the right to review all registrations and, where necessary, reassign teams to a more appropriate division at its discretion to maintain the integrity and competitiveness of the event.

JUDGING. Each team will need to supply one judge to judge over the two-day competition. If neither of you feel comfortable, please contact us prior to the competition and we will work with you to make alternative arrangements.

DIVISIONS AND MOVEMENT STANDARDS. Please refer to the Division tab & movement standards upon registration. The movement standards are CrossFitHQ standards. Please have a good understanding of these before the event.

TEAM CHECK-IN + ATHLETE PACKS. Teams are strongly encouraged to check in & collect their Athlete Packs at UNITE Strength & Conditioning the day before the competition begins. If you are unable to check-in on the Friday morning/evening, it is possible to make alternative arrangements to check in prior to the first event on Saturday morning. Only one team member is required to check in the team – ideally they would be your nominated team captain.

ATHLETE BRIEFINGS. RITN workouts will be kept secret until the day before the event, meaning that we must train for the unknown and be ready for anything. Each workout will be released via our social media accounts, both Facebook and Instagram. Athletes must make sure that they understand what is required and how the events are scored. There will only be a brief allocated time for any questions prior to the event. We cannot answer any questions prior to the competition, including whether everyone on the team has to swim and for what distance, whether both athletes will be required to do muscle-ups (Advanced), how heavy the weights will be, etc.

ATHLETE CONDUCT. RITN is a safe and positive space for everyone to come and express their fitness, regardless of their background, beliefs or ability. It is an inclusive and friendly event and, most of all, we want all our participants to have a fun weekend. We expect all our athletes to behave and compete in a sportsmanlike manner. Unsportsmanlike behaviour, such as arguing with the RITN volunteers, non-compliance with a judge’s instructions, bickering with or questioning of a judge or volunteer, any unpleasant or threatening behaviour towards a judge, volunteer, sponsor, spectator, other athlete or venue operator or owner, as determined by RITN, in its sole and absolute discretion, may result in a disqualification of the athlete from the competition and/or future competitions. This includes derogatory comments from an athlete or their coach, representative, teammate(s), supporters, guests or entourage. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards bullying and abusive behaviour or comments either at the competition or online on our social media channels. All athletes will be held accountable for the behaviour of their entire team, including supporters, coaches and guests. We do not take decisions to disqualify a team lightly. Our community is supportive, kind and fair and we want it to stay that way!

STAY UP TO DATE. All information will be posted to our socials, so please make sure you either follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
