That includes making it to the batter and hooking onto the bar. I would just like to set this information straight before we enter Week 1! Good luck to all who will be there and may the force be with you!
To clarify why I put down the information I did, I was already considering a change in gear ratio for our winch and I put down an estimated time based on the JVN calculator plus some time for lining up. We haven't successfully "tapped" (i.e. cross defense from neutral zone) the drawbridge yet, but we have the mechanisms to do so, therefore I counted it.
