Your best 7 results count towards your Series points (so you can drop 2 Rounds).
The above system allows competitors to move up from Junior, Intermediate or Masters into Open and they keep the points they have earned so far. However, a masters competitor will NOT earn points towards the Masters Series Category for an event if they enter Open for that event. This also applies for Juniors and Intermediates.
There will be Open, Masters, Junior and Intermediate category Series awards at the end of the year.
Master and Juniors wanting to qualify for the Nationals will need to qualify in the category they are qualify for at the State Titles event. So for example, some Masters competitors may enter the Open category for some events, but they will enter Masters in order to qualify for the Masters category at the Nationals.
Hi Everyone
- an update on the SA Climbing Series...
Organising Group
The group making this happen is Adam Clay, Ali Roush, Andrea Torrealba, Brett Mulder, Paul Kinnane, Trent Searcy and Trevor Pearce. If you have any positive (or negative) feedback, sponsorship ideas, want to help out, etc, please talk to any one of us and your comments will be fed back to the rest of the group.
Series Rounds
The calendar for the year will be published shortly. It is planned that there will be 2 roped events and 7 boulder events.
The first round of the series is at ABC on the 15th March. You will earn points towards the series at this event, so even if you are unsure if you will enter the whole series, make sure to enter this event so at least you get some points to start the year if you decide later to commit to all events. Events will be held at Vertical Reality Climbing, Adelaide's Bouldering Club and Southern Boulder.
Points System
You can earn points at all of the Series rounds (so make sure you enter Round 1 on the 15th). Entrants in all categories (Open, Junior, Intermediate and Masters) will score points, with entrants in Open scoring more points than those in the other categories. The points score system will be very closely aligned to the systems used internationally. We will publish full details of the points system in the next few weeks.
Event Format
This is still being finalised, however for the bouldering events the likely format will be a 2hr Open qualifier session (BoulderBash format), followed by a BoulderFest for Intermediate, Junior and Masters, followed by the Open finals.
We are very exciting by the Series, and the feedback so far from competitors and sponsors has been overwhelming - so join us for a great year!
