Bazza, I will decide, but will listen to all until late friday.
I am just concerned about making it fair to all types of athletes: strength and endurance. I don't want four events disadvantaging strength and aiding smaller guys.
I hope you guys agree: big guys should have chance in at least 2 of 5 events.

For chins, I'd say pick any grip you want. As long as it is full ROM. Some people have shoulder/elbow issues and don't really have a choice what they can do.
I can't bench press for shit anyway so I don't care if it is for reps or 1rm. I'd say 1rm would be far easier to judge though as I've seen a few of those bw for reps comps at expos with some dodgy form. (bouncing, not locking out, butt off bench etc)
yes, but bw squats can be subjective given people differ in terms of rest between reps.
I want to test strength, speed, power and endurance, but through tests that are easy to judge.
Running is very basic for both speed and endurance, the two heavy lifts are for strength and power, and chin-ups for upper bw strength given legs work in 3 of 5 events.
