7.d.
Non-Compliant one)
Not Submitted
Structure is able to be loaded (e.g. can accommodate and hold Loading Assembly,
2. T F 7.e.iii.
participants wear eye protection). (If false, team does not test and is placed in Tier 3.)
3. 5.Part I.b. Mass of Structure (in grams to the nearest 0.01 g or best precision available)

Construction & Competition Parameters:

T F 2.a. Team enters only one Structure, built prior to the competition.
T F 2.c. Participants do not bring any equipment such as levels or squares.
The Structure is a single assembly with no separate, loose, sliding, or detachable pieces.
T F 3.a.
The Structure is constructed of wood and bonded by adhesive with no other materials used.
Besides ink barcodes or markings from the construction process, the wood is not painted,
T F 3.a.i-iii. soaked or coated in glue, color enhanced, or affixed with tape/preprinted/paper labels.
Adhesive tapes are not used.
Participants are able to answer questions regarding the design, construction, and operation
T F 3.e.
of the structure.
Alterations, substitutions, and repairs are not made to the Structure after the check-in
T F 5.Part I.d.
process has started.
Once participants enter the event area to compete, they do not leave or receive outside
T F 5.Part II.a.
assistance, materials, or communication until they are finished competing.
5.Part II.c./ Participants place the Structure on the Test Base and assemble the Loading Block Assembly
T F
6.a. and bucket as required to load the Structure.
The Structure spans a 20 cm x 20 cm opening on a Test base and the loading chain is
T F 3.b.
suspended within 2.5 cm of the center of the opening in the Test Base.
T F 3.c. The Structure supports the Loading Block a minimum of 50.0 cm above the Test Base.
The loading point on the Structure is constructed to permit placement of the Loading Block
T F 3.d. on the tower and constructed such that only the Loading Block supports the chain and
bucket.
T F 5.Part II.d. Once loading of sand has begun, the Structure is not further adjusted.
Participants do not directly contact the bucket and only stabilize the bucket by using the tips
T F 5.Part II.g.
of the provided Bucket Stabilizing Sticks.
4. T F ALL CONSTRUCTION AND COMPETITION PARAMETERS ABOVE ARE MET (IF FALSE, TIER 2)
The Tower spans a 29-cm diameter circle, centered on the 20 cm x 20 cm opening of the
5. T F 3.b./6.a.iii.
Test Base
6. 5.Part II.h. Load Supported (mass of Loading Assembly, sand, bucket, in grams; up to 15,000 g)

7.a. SCORE = ( _______________________ / _______________ ) x (____________) = __________________

Load Supported (g) + Bonus Structure Mass (g) Log Multiplier
7.e. Tier 1: Holding any load and meeting all construction parameters and competition requirements
Tier 2: Holding any load with any violations of construction parameters and/or competition requirements
For virtual meets, Test Apparatus not meeting requirements.
Tier 3: Unable to be loaded (e.g. cannot accommodate or hold Loading Assembly, no eye protection worn)
7. T F General Rule: The team is disqualified. (Notify the team and their coach as soon as possible.)
