A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

No limitations on supportive equipment - my guess is that if you are doing more than a few, equipment would just make it harder to breathe though.
Stance is up to you, but the parallel rule is iron-clad.
Prize hasn't been decided yet. Bearwolf and I put up tubs of Nitrean last time but money's going to be tight around my house for a while.A child does not learn to squat from the top down.

The closest I'm going to be able to get to competing in this is to point out the saying goes "With your shield or on it."
So there.

And I am so doing this this weekend, especially since a hamstring tear has prevented me from squatting over 500 for months."Except Belial. He knows everything. This isn't a sarcastic attack, either. He really knows everything." -----Organichu

Glad to see there is another squat competition. I never got a chance to compete in the other one because I waited too long. This one I'll definitely do before the deadline. Not that I'll win, not even close, but it's cool to see how many. Even if it is only a few.

Do you have to rerack it or can you fail it on the supports?

You don't have to rerack it.
All right fellas, nothing special but I figured since I started the contest, I wanted to kick it off - 315 x 6:
