It will be flashed but will that settle the rating debate?

so some one help me out..this thing Saturday is a flash comp, right? does that mean all the entrants can not have been on the climbs before? they can watch others, get beta, etc, but to flash mean getting it their first time with all sorts of beta....sorry for being an old foggie....
that being said, does that mean the "hard" climbers have yet to climb at the Lode? Is Sharma DQ'D for actually climbing stuff there years ago?
Graham has been working (and sending) looong sustained stuff in Rodellar (along with Andra) and Sharma has been working some stupid long sustained thing (can't stop to clip for 40+ feet) that's featured in King Lines. Sounds like good training for flashing stuff in the Madness cave.
