Competitors will have to sift through sand and gravel in a specially made panning pool in a bid to find gold and become a world champion. In each heat 30 competitors receive a bucket of sand and gravel that has been seeded with between 5 and 12 small flakes of gold (between 7 and 12 in the finals). In each heat, every competitor has the same number of flakes to find but it is only the Head Judge and Sand Supervisor who know how many pieces of gold that have been seeded for each particular heat. Competitors' s times are recorded with an electronic stopwatch and a three minute time penalty is added for each piece of lost gold.
