Format:
The Pacific Climbing Series season will be a hybrid modified redpoint format where athletes will be tested across a diverse spread of climbing styles. Aspects of this new format might be refined over the course of the season with input from athletes, parents, coaches, and route setters.
We will be beginning the season with a few unique features to ensure athletes of all abilities have a high value experience for gaining more comp experience while also challenging everyone in a way that matches experience and ability.
A few features that will be included are predefined climbing styles that will be represented at the comps so that athletes know what to train for as well as additional bonus attempts per boulder that simulate the pressures of onsite formats.
At registration we are asking a few additional questions during registration to gather information about each athlete to explore the ability to categorize based on climbing experience and other characteristics so that athletes can gauge performance across a range of competitor fields.
Categories:
Birth year + gender (Male/Female/Non-Binary)
10 boulders by category
(for ex. 12 year old girls will be competing with other 12 year old girls)
Day of Schedule:
Comp day will consist of a morning and afternoon session grouped by category.
10am-1pm: 8-12 y/o born 2012-2016
2pm-5pm: 13-17 y/o born 2007-2011
Scoring:
Scoring will be a two zone point system with additional bonus scoring for flashing and repeating boulders
4 boulders will be defined as championship boulders typical of what one might find at a USAC Regional or Divisional Championship
6 boulders will be set as distinct “tests” that allow athletes to learn and demonstrate abilities in a diverse array of climbing styles.
