At the International Lineman's Rodeo, apprentices compete on their own, but journeymen must form teams of three in order to participate in the events. To rack up a high score and minimize deductions, the linemen must focus on teamwork, precision and craftmanship.
Earning a coveted spot on the awards stage demands dedication and hard work from all three team members. During the mystery events, one lineman serves as a groundman while the other two scale the pole. During the pole climb and hurtman rescue events, each lineman must complete the events, and then the results are combined for a total team score.
