Non-gendered Categories based on average bouldering output for the competition will be as follows:
V0 – V2
V3 – V4
V5 – V6
V7 – V8
V9 – V10
A non-gendered Masters category for participants 40 years old+ will be available as well, scored separately from the other categories. Participants falling into this demographic are not required to register into it, and can register as they please, but will be scored in and eligible for prizes in only one category.
Open category participants will be asked to register by gender identity. ONLY Open competitors in Sessions 1 & 2 will be eligible to qualify for and possibly participate in Finals. This is to ensure that we have enough time to compile scores and notify Finals round participants of their placements.
Open competitors may register for and compete in Session 3, but regardless of score the highest they can place in the category is 7th.
Finals will be Live Streamed by Beta Breakerz.
The competition will follow a standard “redpoint” format for all climbers:
Every climber has 3 hours to climb whichever climbs they would like, with the goal of completing at least 5.
Each climb is assigned a point value based on difficulty, and each climbers’ 5 highest-valued completed climbs count towards their final score.
The number of attempts each climber needs to finish each climb will be recorded, with the total number of attempts for their top 5 climbs being used for tie-breakers.
In the event of a tie when factoring points AND number of attempts, the point value of each climbers 6th highest climb will be used to break the tie
Yes! The simplest answer is – if during the majority of your climbing sessions you are able to complete more than 2 climbs that are harder than “your bracket” on a regular basis, you should register for the next bracket up. However, if you are a V3-V4 climber (for example), and you get lucky with a V5 that just perfectly first your style every once in a while, comfortably register for the V3-V4 category.
No. We want to keep as leveling a playing field as possible for everyone participating, and also prioritize the experience of current session participants by avoiding overcrowding. Everyone will be asked to leave as soon as their session is over, but will be allowed to return to spectate during Open category Finals and for the prize distribution/raffle.
We will use our mass e-mail system to notify all participants if they qualified for Finals or placed on the podium, so please make sure the e-mail address you submit with your Waiver is current and correct.
Absolutely.
No. We are allowing a maximum of one spectator per participant, but spectators may not make use of any part of the facility.
Yes, this competition will be open to competitors 13 years old or older. We will be hosting an competition for kids ages 8 – 13 on Friday, August 21st.
Only participants registered by Friday, July 24th @ 10:00 AM are guaranteed a complimentary comp shirt. A small selection of shirts will be available for purchase on the day of the competition.
