Super Saturday: Test Your Knowledge of the Line Trade

Oct. 17, 2020

Quiz your knowledge by taking two technical quizzes prepared by the ILRA.

Apprentice linemen often line up inside the Overland Park Convention Center to take the apprentice exam before the long-awaited day of competition. While they won't be able to take it in person this year, here are two 10-question quizzes for students in lineman training programs, apprentices or even journeyman linemen to test their knowledge of the trade.

Super Saturday is sponsored by Jelco and Bierer Meters. Just by participating and successfully completing at least one of the two tests, you can enter a drawing for many prizes. For example, you can win:

One of two Yeti Coolers from the International Lineman's Rodeo Association (ILRA)
One of seven $50 gift cards to Dick's Sporting Goods from the ILRA
A tool bag supplied by Bashlin

Thank you to Danny Bost for writing the two quizzes. The answer keys will be provided in the Oct. 26 Lineman's Rodeo News enewsletter and on our Web site. If you have any questions, email Field Editor Amy Fischbach.

Here are the links to the two quizzes:

Good luck and thank you for participating in Lineman Celebration Week!
