The Lactic Factory 2008 Casual Bouldering Series
Competitors Handbook
Format - New Casual
Format!
Every week for the next 20 weeks, 2 new problems will be set and identified
as competition problems; the grade of these problems will vary from very easy
to really hard. You as the competitor have the week to climb these problems
while they're eligible during your normal climbing session. After the week is
up you will no longer get credit for completing the problem. If you do either
or both of the problems you can tick yourself off on the posted leader board
in the gym. The climber with the most ticks at the end of the 20 weeks wins!
Categories - Male and Female, A-Group (open)
and B-Group.
A-Group climbers have only 1 night to attempt a problem (different problems
can be worked on different nights if required) B-Group climbers have the whole
week to tick the problems.
Duration - The first 2 problems open on Monday
14th of April and the last problems close on Saturday 30th of August. (20 Weeks)
Entry Fee - Free! There is no additional cost
over your normal climbing entry to participate. This comp format is designed
to encourage a regular training habit and also to try and introduce climbers
to the idea of working a problem.
Rules - Standard Lactic Factory protocols - Sit
starts with identified start holds, controlled finish on top rail, no bonus
for flashes, no dabs on mats allowed and having fun is compulsory
