Re: 50 Pt. Climbs
I'll likely catch some flak for this, but a lot of teams don't know what they don't know.
A 30 point climber that was even halfway sort of kind of fast was not a system you could just BS the design on. You had to have some idea of what you're doing. Double this if you wanted it to be easily aligned, and work every single time.
Without an ME (or a tradesmen with some real experience) completing such a system was going to be real difficult. Some teams probably did without this, as it is possible to guess right on things sometimes.
Our scouting data had the 24th team in our division averaging ~50 points. This was their average though. A dedicated 50 point climber could not possibly average their maximum (unless they were literally flawless). So at the champs level it wasn't viable.
At regionals if a team averaged 30-35 points of a 50 point climb, they wouldn't miss elims at any event (most likely) and would likely be a 1st round pick/seed.
