The contestants will compete against each other in various disciplines on the large lawn in the outdoor area. The preliminary competition is the tower building. This involves stacking wooden blocks into a tower using a crane in the shortest possible time. Only the best 16 drivers in this challenging discipline can qualify for the Cup competition.

In the Cup competition, two drivers compete in identical forwarders. In a direct comparison, they drive through a course and load the machines with wood at different stations. Speed and precision are what count here.

The winner of the run and thus qualified for the next round is the first to reach the finish line with as few penalties as possible. Following this pattern, various runs take place from the round of 16 to the grand final in the afternoon.

The winners will be honoured on the day of the competition at 4 p.m. in the earth garden of the outdoor area.

The competitions are organised by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft forstwirtschaftlicher Lohnunternehmer Niedersachsen e. V. (Lower Saxony Forestry Contractors' Association). The co-operation partner is Deutsche Messe AG.
