Competition rules:
The 2022 QTCC will run using the new 2022-2024 ITCC Rule Book, which came into effect at the ITCC 2022. Major changes to events are outlined below.
All competitors should familiarize themselves with the new rule book prior to QTCC. You can view a copy here.
Some of the more notable changes to 2022 QTCC events are:
Aerial Rescue
- Points for “Efficiency” have been removed and reallocated to the “Casualty Assessment & Handling”, “Descent” and “Landing” sections.
Ascent Event
- Amended time points during SETUP and CHANGEOVER from 3-2-1-0 to 2-1-0. The two points were moved to ASCENT; the possible points, which changed from 17 to 19, will be awarded for the fastest time.
- SETUP and CHANGEOVER time points/ranges have been amended based on times observed during International, Regional, and local chapter Ascent Events.
- For the Setup, up to 2 Time Points can be awarded based on completion time. Time Points are awarded as follows:
- 2 points – completed in 24.99 seconds or less
- 1 point – completed in 25.00 to 49.99 seconds
- 0 points – completed in 50.00 to 89.99 seconds (2022)
- For the Changeover times, up to 2 Time Points can be awarded based on completion time. Time Points are awarded as follows:
- 2 points – completed in 4.99 seconds or less
- 1 point – completed in 5.00 to 12.99 seconds
- 0 points – completed in over 13.00 seconds (2022)
- For the Setup, up to 2 Time Points can be awarded based on completion time. Time Points are awarded as follows:
- System backup points changed to:
- 0 points (no backup)
- 1 point earned if the system backup is attached to the same climbing line as the primary ascending system.
- 2 points earned if the system backup is attached to a second climbing line (2022)
Belayed Speed Climb
- Reduced possible points earned from 15 to 10.
Throwline
- Retrievable Stationary Rope Option for Competitors
5.3.10 Competitors will have the option of adding a canopy anchor SRS system to their successfully scored climb line for an additional 2 points per side of the tree(s). (2022) - The canopy anchor SRS system must be retrievable by the competitor immediately after the event ends. If the system is not retrievable after time has expired, no points will be awarded for installing the climb line.
- Once a competitor scores their climb line, they must decide if they want to attempt the SRS system before proceeding. They cannot return to a previously scored line to attempt an SRS system. (See Rule 5.2.18 regarding declared scores.)
- There is no penalty for not attempting a canopy anchor SRS system. (2022)
- The point value of the “Visual Tree Assessment” has been increased.
- The “Workstations” section of the score sheet has been rearranged for ease and flow of scoring.
- The “Penalties” section has been adjusted to improved clarity.
