Elite Wave Obstacle Completion & Wrist Bands
Elite athletes must have 100% obstacle completion to be in the running for any points awarded to the Florida Championship Series in 2026. There is no limit to how many times you can do an obstacle before you choose to give up your band.

The rules of the low rigs. 
Your feet cannot touch the ground. You can use the trusses during the transition points from one apparatus to the other.

There are no penalties for failing an obstacle. You must have 100% completion with your band. I suggest you take your time at the rigs and complete them. Because you never know, the person in front of you may not have the wristbands.
