Competition EventsSpringboard – The competitor uses two spring boards to ascend to the top of a nine foot pole and chop a firmly attached 12″ diameter block from the top of the pole. The block must be chopped from both sides. Underhand Chop – The competitor stands, feet apart, on a 12″-14″ log. At the signal, he begins chopping through the log. Before chopping all the way through he must turn and complete the cut from the other side. Time ends when the log is severed completely. Single Buck – Competitors make one cut through 18″-20″ of white pine using a single man cross cut saw. The competitor may have a helper to wedge the log and keep the saw lubricated. Time ends when the block is clearly severed. Standing Block Chop – Competitors race to chop through 12″-14″ of white pine. The competitor must chop from both sides of the log and the time ends when the block is severed. Hot Saw – In this event the competitor uses a customized chain saw with a modified engine. At the signal, the competitor starts the saw and makes three cuts. The competitor must cut no more than 6″ from the log which is marked with a black line. The Axe Throw - The target is thirty six inches wide, consisting of five rings that are each four inches wide. The outside ring is worth one point, the next one in is worth two, then three, then four and finally the bullseye is worth five points. The axe is scored for the value of the outer most ring that it is touching. Each player gets five throws in a game for a maximum score of 25. Jack & Jill Cross – A bucking contests where a man and woman compete for the best time to cut through a 20-inch (510 mm) white pine log. Starting cuts of no more than 1⁄2-inch (13 mm) deep, in order to set the teeth of the saw, are allowed. Timing starts on the signal ‘GO’ and ends when the block is severed. Logs must be cut completely through. |
