A bigger stage for the best work
10 finalists, up from 6
The Masters grows to 10 bricklayers, each with a labourer, building side by side over the two days of the Final.
More space, two rows of 5
You asked for more room, so there is more space between competitors. A walkway down the middle lets the public see every design from the front and from behind.
Two build days, with a cutting day first
All major cutting is done the day before, so both build days go on laying and finishing.
Thu 29 July
