Sheaf toss

A pitchfork is used to hurl a hessian bag stuffed with straw over a horizontal bar above the competitor's head.

After all challengers have made their attempts, the bar is raised and all successful competitors move on to the new height.

It is a feature of the annual Sykehouse Show in South Yorkshire, England.

A variation of this rule is that if one brings a custom pitchfork to the competition, they must allow any other competitor to use that fork.
