T&D 2014 COMP NOTES:
The 2014 T&D comp was totally awesome!!! - For the past T&D comps the competitors would write in the point values of the boulder problems they successfully climbed on the scorecard. The scores would be rechecked previous to the award ceremony. Due to some final discrepancies, the boulder problem point values were now added to the scorecard where competitors would circle the correct points they received from their climbs so there would be no mistake on the final scorecard mathematics. - 2014 is the first year we had to enforce that the competitors had to lock in their decision if they were competing in the Elite |
