EST Mock Trials
Thinking about Spring trials? We are!
We’re excited to be hosting several Element Specialty Trials (ESTs) this season.
ESTs are half-day trials where teams run four searches of the same element. These searches can be a bit more challenging than typical NW1/NW2/NW3 searches and often include time pressure and unique challenges you may not normally encounter at those levels.
The bonus?
ESTs are half-day trials AND you can still earn a leg with one error across the four searches—you don’t have to be perfect!
If this sounds GREAT and you’re planning to enter these trials, join us for our Mock ESTs. They’re the perfect way to practice these types of searches, build confidence, and be ready to rock it this Spring!
These Mock Trials will mimic L1C/L2C/L1I/L2I and L1E/ELT-S trials. You will run 4 searches for each level you enter. For example: L1C will be 4 level one container searches, L2I will be four level two interior searches, ELT-S will be four Elite Select searches, etc.
