Following
contest registration at the Main Registration
Pavilion, contestant may sign-in with the
Vertical Contest staff. Be prepared to show
proof of OTR and contest registration via a
name badge at time of sign-in. Sign-in begins
at the race site at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 5:00
p.m. Contestants names will be called in order
of sign-in, unless special consideration has
been requested at time of sign-in (i.e.,
sharing of rigs, juggling of other events,
etc.). Each contestant must be ready to race
when name is called and is permitted three (3)
attempts on rope. At judge's discretion, a
climber may be awarded a scratch for safety or
rule violations. A scratch indicates that the
contestant has used one of his/her allotted
attempts. Participation in event counts
towards overall individual and grotto totals.
In the 30-Meter Knots race, no carabineers,
pulleys, or ascender boxes, i.e., any metal,
may come in contact with the climbing rope or
be an integral part of the climbing knot.
Three knots, each capable of locking and
holding the climber, attached to the climbing
rope, are required as are "Chicken
Loops."
