Annual Old Timers Reunion

Teams will be made up of 2 males and 2 females, but can also have a 5 th swing member. This swing member will participate in one event (which will already be chosen when the team signs up) in case of a tie. Also, a member of one team CANNOT be a member of another team…just one please.

The contests to be judged will be:

Survey— scores will be added together

Orienteering— scores will be added together

Vertical— 30 meter mechanical, times will be totaled

Cable Ladder— times will be totaled

Lamp Assembly— this will be a relay event, after the first member completes assembly and lights his/her lamp, the next team member will begin, and so on…

Obstacle Course— this will be a relay event, after the first member completes the course they will hand off to the next team member until all members have run

Tug-A-Rope-A-Rauma— Grotto teams participating in the challenge will compete against each other as 4 member teams.

2 New Events:

“Centipede Prussick Climb”—Using prussick knots a contestant must climb a vertical 20 foot long series of tubes and chain links. Contestants will be timed and the team member’s times will be totaled for a team total

“Jacob’s Ladder Climb”— a 12 foot long diamond shaped cable ladder is suspended between a 10 foot high anchor and a ground anchor. The ladder is attached to the anchors by swivels. Contestants must start at the ground anchor and climb on top of the ladder and ring a bell at the top anchor to complete the climb. The “Jacob’s Ladder” contest will award 1 point for a completion or zero points for non-completion; therefore, a total of 4 points could be obtained from this event.

Scoring will be based on a points system:

• 1 st Place – 4 points
• 2 nd Place – 3 points
• 3 rd Place –  2 point
• Participation – 1 point
