Can you give more info? Is it T&F against system? Do the opposing teams have players with the same experience? Would you look at importing some international players?
 
Not as much fun but still interesting, I will add you so I can keep ann eye on proceedings. If any of your men want to borrow my IW give me a shout.;)
 
We will be using advance handrail as well as wearing full body harness which will clipped on and crash landing bags inside the tower.We will be fixing a lift at each meter height allowing the next lift to be erected from a collective protection 'safe zone', from the lift below. So we will be working beyond SG4:10. For TV purposes it is a race, for us we will just be building 2 towers safely with a little lighthearted competition.

You know we diddy firms like mine up and down the country will be trying to do whatever it is you are going to do faster and posting the results on here. I have been thinking about doing one ever since I saw Layher post a video where it took 4 tube guys over an hour to build a 16 foot tower and just 34 minutes with system. I spoke to my wee mate who reckoned we could do it in under 30 minutes with tube and still comply with SG4 which this lot didn't. To be fair, it was an old video but still worth challenging.

1 metre lifts as widely used in Australia. No fall protection required as collective fall provention already in place. Its extra gear and time but if everyone worked to this method the costs would be put back to the client.
