World Champion Barbed Wire Splicing Results:

The completed splice must be capable of supporting a 75 pound weight (no weight is used in youth category). Score is determined by multiplying wire tension in inches by 20 and adding that number to the number of seconds required to complete the splice. The contestant with the lowest score will be the winner.
