Where's that?

[tod_k]

That's my old stompin grounds. My brother and I go into quite a bit of trouble in that area.

Hey dudes,
Can a climber w. only recreational climbing experience compete? And is there an age requitement? (Illinois) john

 

[Norm_Hall]

John,
Anyone can compete as long as they are an Illinois Arborist Association member. All climbing gear has to meet or exceed the ANSI Z133.1 Standards. Only Illinois residents can compete in the Masters Challenge. Thanks.

 

[Norm_Hall]

18 years of age minimum.

[/ QUOTE ]Alright, gotta ask. So, you're saying basicly saying "Only Illinois Climbers" Correct? I keep looking for anything in or near Ohio and this is the only thing I've found so far.

Are all chapter competitions like this? I don't want to end up being an "outlaw" climber. /forum/images/graemlins/gangster.gif

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Many, like IL, will allow you to compete for prizes, but not let you represent the chapter at ITCC. So, you can compete but not in the final round.

 

[Norm_Hall]

The Illinois Arborist Association will let compete if you are a member($45). Like Mark said, you can win prizes by winning individual events, but only Illinois residents can compete in the Masters Challenge and represent the Illinois Chapter at the ITCC.

 

[wct4life]

Alright, thank you for the clarification.

 

[samT]

Is there a fee on top of the $45 chapter dues. I may be interested in making the trip. I need to get tuned up for the KY TCC in October.

Jesse, The registration fee to compete is $40.00.

 

[Jesse]

Can I just show up the day of with $85 and compete or do I need to preregister?
