Re: Climbing and dumping not winning?

Perhaps the OP assumes climb&dump isn't winning because there's inconsistency in the climbing and the dumping.
Certainly, there are inconsistencies with any type of scoring - defense, mechanical defects, etc. What you can accomplish in two minutes on an empty practice field has little bearing on what occurs in a real match. With climbing being somewhat more difficult, more can go wrong.
