What is the Format?
The Junior portion of the event will be held under a Flash
Format. Each Age Group will climb 3 to 4 separate routes,
receiving a score for their highest point reached. Climbers will
watch a PRG Forerunner climb each of their routes prior to the
beginning of the session; therefore, there will be no isolation.
For more information regarding this or other formats, please
consult the 2008 SCS Rulebook found at
www.rockcomps.com.
The Citizens and Open portions of the event will be held under a
Red-point format. Climbers will be scored on their best 5
routes, using the total number of falls to break ties. Open
Climbers will also compete in an Onsight final.
All competitors, parents and coaches are
expected to be familiar with the rules prior to attending the
competition.
Please note: Formats
are subject to change at any time, subject to the discretion of
the PRG. Please call or check back for updated information.
-
What about Lead Climbing?
As per USAC rules, all Youth B and older competitors can
expect at least one lead climb during the comp. For the adults,
lead climbing is optional during the red-point format. All
competitors who lead must either be currently certified for Lead
at a PRG Climbing Center or through an equivalent course. The
PRG reserves the right to revoke or refuse Lead Climbing
privileges for any climber at any time, for any reason.
- How
can I help?
It takes a lot of dedicated
individuals to put on an exceptional competition. We are always
looking for interested volunteers who can help make these events
the best they can possibly be. In particular, volunteers can help
with:
Judging Routes
Scoring
Set Up
Forerunning
...and Route Setting
If
you would like to volunteer for the Back to Our Routes in
April in any one of these areas, please contact
Jon Mann or
Dave Rowland. Volunteers get the best seats in the
house! Thanks in advance!
