Is this an IPVM sponsored contest or something else? Also - when is/was it?

The Icon in action*

Brian, question about this video, when the Icon does his wiremap test after completing the jack, he only plugs the tester in on the jack side. Does this mean that he must have inserted a loopback plug off camera before doing the punch?

*Warning, contains graphic depiction of real-time punchdown. Extremely unexciting. Viewing not recommended for regular people.

He's using a Hubbell TCT2 Continuity tester. Indeed, he has the remote unit already plugged into the patch panel.
