A self consistent lightning connecting leader inception and propagation model is utilized to study the effect of multiple connecting leaders on the attachment of lightning flashes to grounded structures. In the present study the results obtained in the case of a grounded structure equipped with two lightning rods were presented. As the stepped leader approaches the grounded structure, connecting leaders are issued from both lightning conductors but depending on the location of the stepped leader only one of them succeed in completing the attachment process. Results show that the presence of a small advantage for the growth of a connecting leader from one conductor may drastically reduce the ability of other conductors to launch successful connecting leaders. Results also show that the effect of the competition between multiple leaders is to delay the attachment process.
