Entries will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Every attempt will be made to allow all crews who wish to take part to do so, but the organisers reserve the right to restrict entries should logistical matters require it.

Terms and conditions of entry
1. All crews entered must be currently employed in the removals or storage industries.
2. Judges will be looking primarily for the crew who can fit all of the objects into the wooden storage container within 15 minutes.
a) Any item/s left at the end of the 15 minutes will be calculated according to size / volume and in the event of a draw the judges will deducted these items from the maximum score
b) Each crew’s attempt will be timed by a judge. In the unlikely event that more than one crew finishes with the same score, then the judge/s will make a decision based on which crew completed the task in the quickest time.
