Notes

Thanks to the fine folks at Timberfest in Sheridan, Arkansas for inviting the Sylvans to compete each year!

Competitions generally use lathed sweetgum rounds, with sizes apparent in the photos. Time starts with a signal rather than when the teeth of the saw move. Teams may enter either two women or two men in double-buck crosscut sawing. A starter cut is used for single buck usually. Axe throw has more scoring rings than at Conclave, with a seltzer can that must be popped for a bullseye to count. Competitors get four throws, top three count. Bowsaw (some years) is on a lower cant holder than Conclave. Scoring awards 5 points for a winning team, 4 for second place, etc. regardless of number of colleges competing. Otherwise rules are very similar to Conclave.
