Chi Self-tie Jam

https://forbiddentickets.com/events/chicago-rope-collective/6dff67ed13

A monthly rope jam for self-tiers! Self-tying is often seen as something under the umbrella of rope but it truly exists within its own category, and this is a space for folks who recognize that. The format of the jam is based on the whims of the host that month, it could be a freeform jam, some type of game/challenge, or a skillshare.

Self-tiers of all skill levels are welcome. No partnered tying is allowed in this space to preserve the camaraderie of shenanigans and mutual learning. Self-tiers are expected to follow the spotter policy that's included with the ticket. The gist is that if someone is significantly immobilized or an upline is tied that they have a spotter. A spotter is capable of acting in an emergency and have pre-negotiated beforehand, but they do not need to actively hover. This is a policy borrowed from EXIST and we feel that it encourages connection-building, opportunities for cool photos we don't normally get ourselves, and we can get everyone out of the building quickly in case of emergency.
