Good Video. Not trying to sharpshoot, but at the 2:50 to 3:00 minute marks, the video names the near and far sides backwards. Experienced coaches will see immediately. Just pointing out for brand new folks. Near side (from which the team is crossing) has the transport tightening system. The far side (to which the team is traveling) is a round turn with 2 half hitches or tensionless anchor. at about 9 minutes it is covered again, and the ends are correctly identified. Also, per previous comments, for the 2024 event, the Swiss seat is the standard and CC briefed last spring that it could impact times if not done correctly up front.

The 2023 SOP states that manufactured harnesses may be used. Is this still true, or are Swiss seats now required for 2024?
Wait y'all didn't have to tie yours?
