Course Rules

1.  Floor is lava – If you touch, brush, land or fall on to the floor or an out of bounds object or mat. This time will be recorded as where you fell and what time you fell at. You will then be allowed to complete the course and your time will continue for your own interest. 
2. Ask it or risk it – We will be describing the course in regard to what can and cannot be used as a part of the obstacles. If you have any questions as to what can or cannot be used, ask first.  If you don’t you may risk being disqualified at that point and your time will be taken there. 
3. No using the grey support poles on the rig unless specified otherwise.
4. One way only! – You can’t go back to the starting point of an obstacle, once you’ve made your attempt you must continue. 
5. Once you are on the Salmon Ladder, you cannot come off.
6. Blocks can be unstable! – Be sure to land on them correctly, if you tip or flip them and fall it’s still a fall, and will be counted as one.
