Contestants participated in the hand drilling, jackleg drilling, 然后是一场拔河比赛,矿工们和护林员进行了对抗,结果矿工们把护林员拉进了伐木池. 在最初的几年里,在比赛开始之前会举行一场喝啤酒比赛. 随着最低法定饮酒年龄的改变,这一活动已经停止. 亚利桑那大学在第一场比赛中获得了最高荣誉, earning them the right to host the 2nd event.
多年来,规则不断修改,项目不断增加,比赛范围不断扩大. 1982年,第一支女队参加了比赛,随后又增加了男女混合队. 很早就放弃了钉钻,但增加了瑞典锯、淘金、履带式支架和测量. 原来的渣土车是一吨的端卸车,现在每个主人都有自己的渣土车大小和形状(家乡优势)?). 手工钢已经从使用当地五金店的泥瓦匠星钻头演变为定制钢.
