If 20%- of teams are climbing consistently, and you can climb consistently, you almost certainly will be picked for eliminations. Making climbing a sufficient condition. (Even if you don't have a simple static gear scoring when you arrive, there will likely be teams willing to hack one together.) Even the absolute best fuel gathering and scoring teams will struggle to exceed 50 points in fuel in a match on their own. I don't believe there will many teams capable of getting 40 (going to 60 with the bonus) fuel points on their own but are unable to climb.
I'll just say that climbing is lower on our priority list than being able to get 40 kPa on our own. That doesn't mean we won't have both, or that we'll have either functioning, but that 1 RP/match I feel is essential to maximizing ranking points.
