TAPING CONTEST RULES

  • Each high school may enter only one student

  • Preliminaries will be held during the morning lecture sessions – finalist will be posted and finals will be after lunch

  • Tape job must include but is not limited to: 2 proximal anchors, 1 distal anchor, 3 stirrups, 2 horseshoes (laterals), 1 heel lock to each side, 2 figure 8’s, and a final cover. (Continuous heel locks and figure 8’s are allowed.)

  • Tape job will be judged in the following categories – neatness, stability, comfort, and time

  • Each category is worth 5 points

  • In the event of a tie – neatness and time will be the determining factors. If necessary, the absolute time will determine the winner. (i.e. A 37 second time will beat a 42 second time.)

  • There will be only one champion

  • Both the Student & Professional Taping Contest will follow the same guidelines.
