interesting - is that like lumberjack stuff? 
Yeah more specifically I'm talking about the Southern Collegiate Forestry Conclave, which involves about 15 schools of forestry. There are physical events which include the more stereotypical lumberjack activities (knife/axe throw, log burling, log rolling, paired cross-cut, bow saw, pole climbing, and pole felling). There are technical events as well, which are more oriented to class room fields of study and are closed from public viewing (timber cruising, DBH estimation, pole classification, compass and pacing, tree ID, wildlife ID, photogrammetry, and wood ID). Technical events are worth 1.5 times as many points as the physical events, so the emphasis is on knowing your field of study rather than just pure competition.
