5. What is the Format?
   Citizens and Youth
   The Sun Burn Format is a new format, intended to bring a relaxed, outdoor feel to the competition circuit. The event will consist of 5 "disciplines", which will have their own rankings (i.e. winners, etc.) in each category. Climbers may enter any number of "disciplines" that they wish--in each category, the climber who sends the highest number of problems (sometimes called "tops"), with the fewest total falls will win.
   
   Climbers who climb in all 5 "disciplines" will be eligible to win the Overall Title. The climber who ranks highest in the greatest number of disciplines will win.
   
   Disciplines
   Slab: Each category will have between 8 and 12 problems available.
   Dynos: Each category will have between 8 and 12 dynos available.
   Top-Outs: Each category will have between 8 and 12 top-out boulder problems.
   Routes: Each category will have between 5 and 8 routes available.
   Bouldering: Each category will have between 8 and 15 problems available.
   Overall Winner: There will be an overall winner selected based on the best ranked result from each of the 5 disciplines. Overall winners will be chose for Youth and Citizens.
   
   Open Climbers
   Open Qualifiers will consist of the following: Each climber must complete at least one routes/problem in each of the 5 disciplines. Ranking will consist of the highest average number of sends across disciplines. The top 50% or 8 climbers (whichever is smaller) in each gender will qualify for finals.
   
   Open Finals will be a World Cup format containing 2 Boulder Problems and 1 Route. Climbers will have 5 minutes to climb each (route or problem) to high point, using falls to break ties. There will be a 5 minute rest in between problems/route.    
    
   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.
    
6. What about Lead Climbing?
   The Route portion of the event will have leadable routes for Youth and Citizens; however, leading will only be required for Open competitors (in Finals). 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.
    
7. 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 Sun Burn in July in any one of these areas, please contact Sam Owens or Dave Rowland. Volunteers get the best seats in the house! Thanks in advance!
