USAC ON-SIGHT COMPETITION FORMAT:
In an on-sight route, the climber will not see any other person climb the route prior to attempting it him/herself. To accomplish that goal, climbers enter an isolation
area prior to the event and are brought out one at a time to climb. There may be an
opportunity to preview the route prior to their attempt. Climbers are scored based
on the highest hold reached. During an on-sight competition each route shall be allocated a predetermined time in which a competitor may attempt the route. If a lead route, the one-minute tie-in period shall NOT be included in this time, but shall be separate and in addition to the allocated route time. Each competitor will have a 1-minute transition period in which to make his/her way to the next problem/route. During an on-sight competition: The route time is started when the competitor is
instructed to turn and climb when ready. The time period includes a 40-second final
preparation period, at the base of the route. If the competitor has not started
his/her attempt at the end of this 40-second period they shall be instructed to start
immediately. Any further delay shall result in the competitor’s disqualification on
that route. When competing in an on-sight format competition, receipt of any information concerning a route prior to or during the attempt on the route is grounds for disqualification of the competitor. Competitors are free to discuss a route with other competitors in isolation who have not previously climbed/attempted the route. The following modified on-sight formats are sanctioned by USA Climbing and are the recommended formats for Regional Championship competitions: The gym will set 3-5 routes per category (multiple categories may compete on some of the same routes – e.g., the Category D males and Category C females could be run on the same routes). Climbers are not permitted to watch others’ attempts before they climb the routes themselves. Climbers are permitted a preview of their routes prior to climbing, however. Climbers are kept in isolation and are brought out one at a time to climb. Each of the routes is climbed in sequence, with a set amount of time (in this case 4 minutes) permitted to climb each route. A separate rest period MAY be given between routes. Only one attempt is permitted on each route. The highest point reached on the route is scored in accordance with USA Climbing rules for on-sight format competitions.
