Well, I am glad to see the IMLBB team didn't dig in their heels and did a full reversal.
And its nice they opened it up to comunity soundings.
I wish they had done that before and hope going forward that might become the default.

They've decided that only around 50 climbs or titles will be able to go directly to the IMLBB contest each year. All other contestants will have to go through a pre-contest to prove they are worthy of standing on the stage. It creates a two tiered system.
