Competition rules:

The 2023 QAA Amateur Open will run using the new 2022-2024 ITCC Rule Book, which came into effect at the ITCC 2022. All competitors should familiarize themselves with the new rule book prior to the Amateur Open. You can view a copy here. 

 

Ensuring all competitors are using equipment that is safe is the first task of all our tree climbing competitions. If you’re new to tree climbing competitions, or would just like a refresher, the ISA have a complimentary Gear Check Video that covers how to properly conduct a gear check for a Tree Climbing Competition (TCC).

 

The video, which looks at a range of topics relating to proper equipment, maintenance and safety, can be found here. Alternatively, check out the documents below:
