The T.B.S consists of 3 redpoint format bouldering competitions held every few weeks on a Saturday evening. The series winners are based on each competitors TOP TWO finishes of the three events.
- Each event will be a redpoint format - meaning you have unlimited tries to complete a route, but you lose 10 points each time you fall.
- The harder the route, the more points it is worth.
- Points are only given if a route is witnessed and completed from start to finish. You must RECORD EVERY ATTEMPT by having 2 peers or 1 judge initial for each problem completed and mark each fall taken.
- To be considered completed you must control the last hold(match or hold for 2 seconds).
- Touching any hold on a route is considered an attempt.
- If you use a hold or feature that is off route no points can be earned and the attempt will count.
- If a hold spins, step off immediately or the attempt will count.
- All features are off unless marked on.
We'll be serving up tasty treats from the grill and cold beverages at each comp, so make sure you attend.
Please note - competitors can not climb at Vertical Ventures after the TUESDAY before each event. Routes will go up starting Wednesday.
Use the pay now button to the right to, well... pay now. Why would you not? Shoot, you could pay the $30, not even show up to a comp, and you'd still get your shirt and possibly even win the Chattanooga Get-away.
