I had a conversation with Sue Robertson who is organizing the drop spindle slalom just so that I could pass on all the “fine print” rules that weren’t mentioned in the CNCH booklet. It turns out you may use your own spindle, or race officials will lend you one of their super duper CD spindles. The same roving will be provided to all contestants. You may attach your fiber to a leader prior to the contest, but no pre drafting (drat!).
