Trees Florida Awards

TY Park is located just a half mile from Interstate 95 off Sheridan St. & North Park Rd. We will be holding a 2 day event with the 5 preliminary being held Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, Masters Challenge being set for Sunday afternoon. There are schedule family events for conference attendees and FCTCC participants during the day Sunday, along with live demonstrations from selected equipment venders.

Due to a large interest in this year’s competition, thanks in many ways to the outstanding work performed by the Official Unofficial Tree Climbing Team, I am requesting that anyone who will be competing should send their sign up forms early, to the chapter or myself to ensure their spot on this year’s roster. In the past our chapter has allowed many participants to sign up and compete up to the start of the event, this year we can only allow 20 competitors and space may be limited. Spots will be given on a first come first serve basses.

The tentative agenda will be; sign in, gear inspection judge’s introduction and event reviews on Saturday morning, with the Throw line and Footlock events that afternoon. Sundays events will begin at 9 am with the Ariel Rescue, Belayed Speed Climb and Work Climb. The winner of each of these events will be awarded during the afternoon break and the Master Challenge competitors named. The climbers moving forward into the Masters Challenge will then be given the time to review the event, along with the judging team and then prepare to compete. This year’s Master Challenge champion will be announced back at the Hosting Conference Site during the opening reception Sunday evening.

If there are any questions about this year’s championships, or if you would like to help in anyway with site set-up or sponsorship, along with making this event an outstanding time for all, please contact me.
