Workouts are the foundation of your event's scoring structure. You can create them at any time before the event — they won't be visible to athletes until you explicitly set a release date or publish them.
Workout Types
Competition Corner supports three scoring formats:
For Time (Time Priority) — athletes complete a set amount of work as fast as possible. Lowest time wins.
AMRAP (Task Priority) — athletes complete as many rounds or reps as possible within a set time cap. Highest score wins.
Max Weight (Weight Priority) — athletes establish a maximum load within a set time. Highest weight wins.

One Workout or One Per Division?
A common question is whether to create a separate workout for each division. The general rule: if the workout shares the same scoring type, time cap, competition day, and stage — create one workout and assign it to all relevant divisions. Use the workout description to note any variations in load, reps, or movements for each division.
Only create separate workouts per division if they have different scoring types, different time caps, or run on different days or stages. Keeping workouts consolidated simplifies your heat schedule, reduces transitions, and makes things easier for judges and athletes to follow.
Workout Release Date
The release date lets you create workouts in advance while keeping them hidden from athletes until the time is right. If the release date is set in the future, the leaderboard will display "The workout will be announced soon" as a placeholder. Once that date and time arrives, the full workout description becomes visible automatically.
Tiebreakers
You can program tiebreakers directly into applicable workouts to automatically resolve tied placements:
For Time workouts — set a repetition tiebreaker for athletes who don't finish before the time cap. The athlete with more reps completed ranks higher.
AMRAP workouts — set a time tiebreaker based on the fastest time to complete the last full round.
Max Weight workouts — set a repetition tiebreaker using a supplementary movement. For example, a snatch ladder with max double-unders after a failed attempt.
Another workout's score — you can set any other workout in your event as the tiebreaker. The system will automatically pull that workout's score for each athlete, saving you from having to input tiebreaker values manually. This is particularly useful when two workouts are closely related — for example, using a Part A score to break ties in Part B.
Multi-Part Workouts
It's common to program workouts that run on a continuous clock with multiple scored parts in a single heat — for example, a max lift followed by an AMRAP. Since each part has a different scoring type, the simplest approach is to create them as separate workouts with sequential naming:
Workout 1A — 5 min to establish a 1RM Snatch (scored For Weight)
Workout 1B — 3 min AMRAP of Thrusters and Pull-Ups (scored For Reps)
Set the same heat and schedule for both parts to keep athletes in the same lanes and make it easy for scorekeepers to manage the transition.
