No entry restrictions
In this competition, there will be a maximum of 12 obstacles set up in the arena. Each
obstacle carries from 10 to 120 points according to its difficulty. Obstacles will be built so they
can be jumped in both directions. The competitor will be credited with the number of points of
each obstacle that he has jumped correctly. No points will be awarded for an obstacle that has
been knocked down. Each competitor will have 60 seconds. During this time, he may jump all
the obstacles he wishes in any order and in any direction. He may cross the starting line in
either direction. Ringing the bell indicates the end of the round. The competitor must then
cross the finish line to have his time recorded. Any obstacle knocked down will not be rebuilt, if it
is jumped again, no points will be awarded. In case of a disobedience without a knockdown, the
competitor may jump that obstacle or continue to the next obstacle.The competitor who has
obtained the highest number of points will be declared the winner. In the event of equality of
points, the fastest time between start and finish line will decide.
THE JOKER JUMP At the conclusion of the round, a tone will be sounded. The
competitor then has 20 seconds to jump the Joker Jump. This jump will be worth 200 points,
but 200 points will be deducted if the jump is knocked down. ONLY ONE ATTEMPT IS
