IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. This event is located on the 2nd floor and IS NOT accessible. We will be happy to assist anyone who needs help.
​Creative Breaking Rules: Beginner/Inter
(4 stations) - Advanced BB (8 stations) 3 Minute Time Limit
*1 station may a single break, simultaneous breaks or multiple break in the air. The air kicks must be after second foot leaves the floor and before the next foot touches the ground. Spacers may be used. Competitors have 3 minutes to set up, complete and clean up their break. Your time starts from "Begin" and stops when you are finished setting up. Time resumes when you break your first board and ends when your ring is clean.
Power Breaking Rules: 1 strike to break as many pine boards as you can. Carpenter pencils are used as spacers for spaced events (all events under 18 use spacers). ALL POWER BOARDS MUST BE PRE-TAPED. Competitors may set up their stands (we will provide concrete blocks) before the 5 minute, set up time limit is started. When time is started, competitors and a helper stack their wood or concrete and call your name and "Time" to signal you are done setting up. USBA Ranking comes into play because it is a sanctioned event and competitors with more points get to go last in order. There is an advantage to going last because you know exactly what you need to do to win.
