Competition Rules
For each participant, the competition starts with 9 wood blocks scattered randomly on the ground. The Heeling Rack of the machine will be at a predetermined Start / Stop location.
The Event Official will signal the to begin the run. The objective is to stack the blocks end to end starting at three predetermined marks on the ground, matching numbers or colors. Each stack of blocks when complete will be three blocks high with colors and numbers matched. Colors and numbers not matching will result in a disqualification of that competitor. Each stack must be completed prior to starting another stack.
Each Stack must remain standing for 5 seconds after the heeling rack contacts the Stop / Start point, signaling completion of the event run. All three stacks must remain standing for the 5 seconds or that competitor will be disqualified. The logger with the fastest run time wins!
