11. sore heel is the place to climb on Saturday. Since the parking area is closed (except to competitors). there will be significantly less people there.
12. There are divisions so there are more ways to win.

Rules
Score sheets may be purchased at the rocktoberfest registration area or at sore heel.
Points are gathered by clipping bolts on redpoint. Competitors get 1 point for each bolt clipped until you weight the rope (finish the route, fall or take).
All routes have a multiplier.
More difficult routes have a higher multiplier.
Score is points times the multiplier
Traditional routes have a fixed number of points.
Competitors tally their own scores (there are few judges)
Belayers sign the card
Start time is 10 am
Finish time is 5 pm <<<sharp>>
Competitors total their own score cards <<before 5>>
There are no errors with the score sheet. the score sheet is right
Winners will be announced at the event Saturday night
example of the scoring
Citizens Arete: 1st attempt 6 bolts x 2 = 12 pts 2nd attempt = 8 bolts x 2 = 16 pts (score = 16 points you can try as many times as you want but only the high point counts)
Sport climbing? It doesn’t matter if the gear is hanging. Gear climbing? Place 'em yourself
Score Sheets must be turned in at 5:00 pm tally your own score
Note access to the parking area will be limited on the day of the comp. However the climbing areas will still be open to all. If you choose to climb at the sore heel climbing areas and not compete. Please park in another area (i.e. bald rock road, the mother lode parking area, drive by parking area) and walk in.
