  1. In the Long Puck, the competitor commences their puck by striking the ball from their hand with their hurley from within a defined sector.
  2. At National Festival, competitors will have 3 attempts. Each competitor will take their puck as per County number and after each attempt, they will go to the end of the line so that the puck will be taken in sequence as per County number.
  3. The puck may be taken from a running or standing position.
  4. The puck must be taken from behind a single line which will be 1.25m in length, and all measurements will be made from the centre point of this line to where the ball stops rolling.
  5. Should a competitor, in taking a puck, cross the line either before or after striking the ball and before the ball has landed, then that puck will be declared a foul.
  6. Failure to make contact with the ball using the hurley will be considered an attempt and will be declared a foul, i.e., “a fresh air”.
  7. All competitors will compete in sequence; one puck at a time, and all pucks will be marked immediately after a valid puck.
  8. When all pucks have been taken, the 8 competitors with the longest pucks will compete in a Festival “puck off” and will carry into the Final “puck off” their longest pucks.
  9. Each of the 8 finalists will receive a further 3 pucks in their original sequence.
  10. Qualifiers from Area or County preliminary competitions will not carry forward measurements to the Area or County Final.
  11. In the event of a tie at the end of the competition, a further 3 pucks will be taken by the competitors involved, in order to determine a final result.
