**The reasoning behind this is based on feedback from members and routesetters after previous competitions we have held.
Climbers often come in to bare walls first thing on Sunday mornings after comps so we're hoping this gives the setters time to get in and set the walls back up for climbers to come in and use Sunday night.
This is something new we're trying and will be looking for feedback from members on this approach once Bloctober has concluded!
