Pit Emptying Challenge @ FSM6 Virtual (2021)

At the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic, both the FSM6 conference and the Pit Emptying Skills Competition had to be moved online. LSC adapted the model to an online competition by creating the World Emptying Challenge. Emptiers from around the world provided video submissions of what emptying looks like for them on a daily basis. There were 23 submissions from 10 countries, highlighting the varying conditions and techniques for pit emptying around the world.

The winning submission was from India and received over 15k views on YouTube, it can be viewed below.
