The US National Championships for the 2010-2011 season are going to be held at the Ozark Folk Center, in Mountain View, AR on May 14, 2011.
Spyderco has again donated some impressive knives as prizes to the top 8 winners. You guys Rock!
Donavon Philips, sponsored by Spyderco, goes into the competition as the season points leader. I (also Sponsored by Spyderco) am going in to the competition as the third overall points leader.
The competition will be spread out through the day and consist of three separate events. A double elimination seeded 2x4 derby. A "light" cutting coarse event, and a final coarse cut. Each event will be worth points dependent on the finishing results. The 1st place winner will get the most points.
The 2x4 derby consists of two competitors cutting a 2x4 (on either end) at the same time, The first to get through the 2x4 wins that round.
The "light" cutting coarse event will be like a standard cutting coarse event, except it will consist of non-chopping challenges, where delicate movements, accuracy and speed will win the day.
The Final Coarse Event the final cutting coarse will be the standard cutting coarse. It will begin and end on the 2x4 chop. Balancing delicate cuts and heavy chops, every cutter will be challenged to do their best.
The top 10 points winners of the day will be invited to attend the BladeSports World Championship at Blade Show in Atlanta. There they will be joined by competitors from the Netherlands and the UK on June 11, 2011.
