2nd affiliate event announced

All six members have to participate in this one. It's a little involved, so hand on tight:

There are six stations, in order:
deadlift (263/174 [stupid metric weights]) - max reps in one minute
rest
alternating pistols - max reps in one minute
rest
row - max calories in one minute
1RM shoulder-to overhead any way you can (behind the neck jerk is even allowed)

The team lines up single file, and the first person starts at the deadlift. Every minute, everyone moves forward one station (so, the second minute, person 2 is doing deadlifts, and person 1 is resting). When person 1 reaches the 1RM portion, they stay there until the last person is done with the other stations, plus 2 minutes. So, the first person through has the most time to work on 1RM and the last person through has the least (2 minutes). Everyone has to use the same bar, though.

Also, this is being scored like it's two events. The stations up through the row are like one event, and the 1RM is like another. Only the top 48 teams will advance after this event.

Got all that?
