THE WEEKEND IS FUN. THE COMPETITION IS FIERCE.

84 Professionals and 84 Student/Apprentices from the US and Canada will advance to Orlando for a weekend

they won’t soon forget. Because while travel, lodging and meals are all provided by IDEAL, the competitors

will have to bring their own “A” games as they will be judged on craftsmanship, safety, and speed.

THE FINALE IS INTERNATIONAL.

For the first time ever, this year’s Championship Weekend will conclude with an International

Championship, pitting the winners of the US, Australia, Canada and China competitions (one Student/

Apprentice and one Professional from each country) against one another in one epic showdown.
