Intermediate competitions comprise up to six disciplines depending on the individual skill level of the participating Intermediates. The competitions may feature all athletes in the basic disciplines, but some of them might not be able to compete in more advanced disciplines like Standing Block Chop, Springboard or Hot Saw.
One of the main aims of the Intermediate competitions is to promote the development of older athletes and to help them move towards competing at Pro level.
Intermediates chop and saw on smaller wood block diametres, apart from in the Stock Saw, as part of their preparation towards the Pro wood diametres.
