Re: Help me find evidence to support the use of hook and loop
Please read the rule and the Q&A a bit more closely.
For instance, the only items at the last 4 inches can be those used to "whip" the end of the rope to prevent fraying. |

Looks like by Velcro's own definition, their hook and loop meets the requirements. They say its woven nylon fibers... I will be printing out this brochure and bringing it to competition to prove validity. I hope week 1 teams do the same so they don't set a precedence for illegal hook and loop. |

There are lots of products where it's probably nearly impossible to ascertain the legality under the current ruling, as well. |

I would expect to find legal velcro at fabric/sewing stores, and possibly at home stores, and illegal velcro certainly in both. |

Here, the distinction comes down to an arbitrary distinction in manufacturing method that may or may not be able to be ascertained for any given product. There's a world of difference between the two. |

If, however, you have just any old hook and loop, and try to use Velcro's description of a very particular product which is woven, then expect some careful and pointed questioning. At my events, you will need to show that you, in fact, are using the product described in the product sheet. |

I believer these two sources should be legal for the rope. they are knitted loop fasteners that are sewn. Knitting is knots and they are a uniform hook system through the entire length.

The rule is pretty clear on characteristics of materials that are allowed in a rope, as well as how teams can fabricate their rope. Any team that shows up to an event with a rope containing illegal materials, and I'm certain there will be multiple of teams there to help them fabricate a legal rope or loan them a spare. |
