LUMBERJACK PLAY THE GAME PART I Lumberjack sport has very many different events
under different names. Let us see all the lumberjack events Log Rolling: It is a team event. Two teams with 2 lumberjacks in
each compete in this event. The organizers determine the size of the
log. It should, however, be not extremely large. The goal of this event
is to feel the log and understand it so that it becomes easy for the
competitors to guide it through the allotted path.
The teams, one by one, roll the log through the
allotted length of 40 Feet, hit the stakes, then return to the starting
point and hit the stakes there. The team that does the rolling faster
than the competitor is the winner. Two Man Bucking: It is again a team game and the teams start one by
one. The emcee (Master of Ceremonies) shouts, GO when the
sawing starts and ends only when the Disk is totally separated.
The competitors use a long crosscut saw 6 Ft long. The log is
fastened securely to a block whose top shall be between 30 to 36 inches
from the ground level and the bottom of the block should be around 12+
inches from the ground. The team, which saws through the log faster, is
the winner. Jack and Jill Bucking: It is almost the same as two man bucking except for
the fact that it requires the participation of a male and female
competitor. Jill and Jill Bucking: It is almost the same as two man bucking except
that it needs the participation of two female competitors only. Bow Sawing: Saw: Bow saw, blade size 50 inches, securely tied
at both ends to a bow saw frame. Log: A maximum of 12 in diameter and is second with the logs topside between 30 to 36 from the ground. One or more cuts allowed. Normally contestants are asked to cut 2 inches of wood per cut and the cuts should be within the pre-designated area. |
