The Metal Detecting world championship format has been finalised and changed a little from the original Idea to make it more fun and also more inclusive.
In order to be the Metal Detecting World Champion you’ll need to hold a competitors ticket for the event Number one. Once you have that you can enroll on the Friday Before or Saturday of the event.
Entrants will be grouped into heats and released into a paddock to find a token. Those that find a token and bring it back to the desk before the allotted time runs out move through to the next round.
As the day Moves on we will eliminate competitors Until we have 2 Left. These 2 competitors will then go head to head for the title of Metal Detecting World Champion.
Those that don’t locate a token in rounds 1 and 2 can then participate in a reperchage event to gain entry back into the championship. After round 2 We then move into the Finals and find the world champion.
How to get back in if your eliminated:
Until round 3 Starts you have a chance to regain entry into the field for the championship.
After round 1 of the main event is complete, NON token holders can then participate in a Target ID challenge. Where you will need to ID 10 Targets with your metal Detector alone.
The TOP Scores get re-entry into the main event.
After Round 2 of the main Event has been run, a PIN POINTER ONLY Hunt will be held and those that locate a token using ONLY the pin pointer will regain entry into the main event. (This is a timed event as well as limited by number of tokens to be found.)
ALL of the token hunting events involved with the deciding of the world champion are both timed and limited by the number of tokens to be found. Each Round ends when the time is up OR all tokens have been found.
- Each Participant is allowed to dig only 1 token to progress themselves. Once you have found a token to progress you should leave the field immediately and turn your machine off. Digging more than 1 token or passing a token to another person is not allowed and you may be disqualified.
- participants in the competitions that relate the deciding of the metal detecting world champion must act alone and without assistance.
- There is no restriction on detector used,
we will limit to an 11 inch coil on its largest measurement. - Marshalls and judges instructions are to be followed and all decisions are final.
Although a serious competition please remember the emphasis is on having Fun. LUCK will play a part in the winner’s crowning and on the day it will be possible for anyone to take home the title.
