SPECMIX Inc., announces the 2013 SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500
Regional Competition Schedule. The SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 Regionals are a
series of 16 qualifying events taking place throughout North America that draws
the area’s best masons possessing the skill, speed and stamina required to
qualify for the chance to win a new FORD F-250 XLT 4X4 truck and nearly
$100,000 in cash and prizes at the national competition held once a year.
As a bricklaying competition that provides a large winner’s purse, the winners of each regional
will go on to compete at the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 National Event during the
World of Concrete/World of Masonry trade show at the Las Vegas Convention
Center’s Gold Lot.
At Nationals, more than 3,500 spectators and masonry enthusiasts
cheer, while 20 bricklayers battle for the highly coveted title and answer to
the question: “Who is the World’s Best Bricklayer?”
Established in 2003 to showcase
the skill and craftsmanship of professional masons, the general description of
the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 Regional events is as follows: a two-man team,
consisting of a mason and a mason tender, are given 60 minutes to complete a 26-foot, eight-inch, double-wythe brick wall, while meeting strict quality standards
enforced by a panel of industry expert judges.
The winner of each regional
competition will advance to the National Event in on Jan. 22,
2014. Award places are based on the highest brick counts meeting the
quality standards and competition rules. The second most coveted award at both
National and Regional events, The SPEC MIX TOP CRAFTSMAN Award, is judged as
the most sellable wall meeting a qualifying brick count. While this award consists of
substantial cash, prizes, and industry recognition, this title does not provide
a spot to compete with the other 19 teams shooting for the championship.
To
register to compete in your area’s Regional Competition or for more information
on the event, please contact the local representative listed for your closest
competition. The 2014 SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 National event will be held at
the Masonry Madness Arena during the 2014 World of Concrete/World of Masonry
trade show and is scheduled for Jan. 22, 2014.
