Qualifier scoring - points per boulder / attempts

There will be 25 problems in the qualifier round. The score for a “Top” is based on the problem number and the number of attempts.

The top 6 scores for each athlete will be used to calculate the total qualifier round rankings.

Spectating / Gym Map

Spectating for this competition will be limited to specific sections of the gym, in order to ensure the field of play is clear for athletes / coaches / officials.  Refer to the overhead view of the gym for a visual reference.

  • The field of play will include the immediate and surrounding areas:

    • Slab Wall

    • Bouldering

    • Top Rope

  • Spectators can use the following areas, so long as pathways and doors are clear:

    • Retail / Front entrance

    • Lead Wall

    • Party Room #2 (this is a mezzanine overlooking the gym, also where volunteer officials are setup).

Since space is limited, spectators will be asked to make way for officials, athletes, and coaches if necessary.  Athletes, Parents / Guardians, spectators from Group 1 (C+A+Jr) will be asked to make space for Group 2 after the first qualifier round.
