The Timbersports Cup
A lumberjack-sports competition run by professional timbersports athletes: crosscut sawing, axe throwing, log rolling, and a two-person buck-saw relay, all on real timber with full safety coaching. Teams chase a leaderboard toward a final showdown.
Why It Bonds
Handing a team a two-person saw forces literal synchronization — you cannot cut through a log out of rhythm — and the shared grit of learning a hard, physical skill together builds a fast, earned respect.
Running at Scale
Athletes run tightly supervised station heats of 8–12 for safety; scale by adding parallel timber lanes and axe-throwing bays, with a bracketed final for the top crews.
