OVERVIEW
Every other Friday in ASCEND Erie's bouldering room, three new POTW (problem of the week) comp-style boulders will be set ranging in difficulty. Your goal is to send as many of them as you can in your first session trying them and then add you score to the leaderboard.
SERIES SCHEDULE
The setters will set three new boulders, every other Friday for four occasions, starting on June 13. The boulders will stay up for two weeks and will be clearly marked.
You're free to compete anytime during the two weeks they are up, but on the Fridays new problems are unveiled, we'll host a group climbing session with the routesetters from 6-8p. Then, we'll head over to IPPA to hang out for a bit. ASCEND WILL BUY A FEW PIZZAS FOR THE GROUP!
SESSION 1 - June 13
SESSION 2 - June 27
SESSION 3 - July 11
SESSION 4 - July 25
SCORING + LEADERBOARD
The main rule with scoring is that you need to try all three boulders in one single session, your FIRST session on the course. You may not revise your scores another day.
FLASH = 2pts
SEND = 1pt
NO SEND = 0pts
Using large poster board, we will create a massive leaderboard, where each player will handwrite their scores. Enter your name once, and add the scores to the right week after week. Max score each week would be 6 total points.
WINNERS + PRIZES
This is mostly just for funsies, but we're going to recognize some notable performances throughout the ability spectrum. Simply do your best and you might win something!
If you are on the leaderboard for all 4 sessions by August 1, you'll get something special! You don't need to send every boulder and your 0 scores will count!
COST
This is a free series for all to play! In fact, we're paying you with pizza and maybe some prizes.
