All of the pyramids for every field were at slightly different heights. That's why most events had a period where you could measure the field. Because MAR used the same field for nearly every event, you could know the pyramid's height before you went to the event. Furthermore, it was always consistent so climbers didn't need to change their mechanisms for the small variations.

I hate Thursday. Its the biggest waste of time. Nothing significant ever gets done. I hated ever second of Thursday at MAR Champs. The unbagging periods are infinitely more useful.
