Contestants leave the setting log, race over center obstacles, get choker, race back over obstacles, set choker on the starting log and return to touch closest obstacle log. Time stops when the contestant touches the closest obstacle log. Judges will test each set choker by slowly pulling on the choker. A choker set not properly made will be a disqualification.

4. Contestants may not "lasso" choker around the end of the set log.
5. Shows should not arrange a choker race in a manner that is hazardous for the contestant.
6. Competitors should have at least a 12 foot wide lane each.

8. If making 2 courses, (ex: Head to Head races) both courses should be measured and be the same length. If there is a course that turns left and the other right, contestants could  “Flip a coin” to see who gets which course, or the organizing committee can assign heat sheets as per the drawing of the wood number.
9. All efforts must be made to make both courses as equal as possible, so no competitors have an advantage.
