Bending Rules On Different Lists

[wscorpion]

I've been bending for a few months now, and I've tried to get certified on several bends as well.

What confuses me the most is the different rules applied to different lists.

From what I've seen we have:

Ironmind:

- Ironmind Red Nail

- Under 1 minute

- only IM Pads

- U shape

FBBC:

- FBBC stock

- under 5 minutes

- all padding accepted as long as it is not rigid

- 2" or less

David Horne's braced list:

- HRS stock commonly available

- Under 5 minutes

- all padding accepted as long as it is not rigid

- 2.5" or less

The Gripboard:

- allow accepted bends on the FBBC and IM lists

- otherwise under 2 minutes

- no rigid material in padding

- 2" or less

I was under the impression that the GB also applied a 5 minute time frame, so I asked Frankyboy to certify me for the 6" Red.

He told me the rules here are 2 minutes max, so I will bend it again...

However, it would have been a lot easier if I knew the different rules applied to different lists in advance.

I know most of the lists have their own rules stated somewhere, but IMO it would be a lot easier to have a list of all the lists and their different rules for quick reference.

Anyone knows of any other lists or rules that are different between lists then the ones just summed above?

Thanks, Mark.

I think that's about it. Although GB doesn't accept FBBC bends because they are 5 mins or less, where as it MUST be inside 2 mins for GB. Frankboy told me this when certing on the 5.5" G5 (although I was inside the time limit nonetheless).

This would be pretty helpful if stickied so no one has to search around for cert rules.

The Gripboard rules and the rules for the top 20 lists are pinned above.

David Horne's braced list:

The longer bars (48-24"), should be bent to 11" or less between legs.

Hi David, welcome back, I hope you had a nice holiday!

@Eric, I had a hard time finding the rules for the gripboard. Of course I did find David's rules because of his thread with the new lists, but also FBBC rules were a bit hard to find

Hence the question for having an overview of the different lists, their common and their different rules

Mark,

Yes, we had a lovely time in Italy. We stayed in a farmhouse near Jesi in the Marches region. It was very hot and quiet!

We did some bending and fitness training whilst we were there.

It's called a holiday, that means rest and no bending and fitness as well

I'm glad you've had a nice holiday, I've never been to Italy but I know several people who grew up there and they all say it's a great country to go on holiday

Can't wait for my holiday, it's time to take some rest off of work, but still have to wait 3 weeks for it..

Btw, I've bent the 13" 12mm braced about a week ago, it was quite a fight on a sunday morning but I've got it
