Competion Format

This is a self-scored event using the app, Griptonite.
The redpoint round uses standard IFSC comp rules. Your position is determined by four numbers: total tops, total zone points, tries to top and tries to zone.
A zone is achieved when either reaching a zone hold, or when completing the problem.
Redpoint Round climbs will be marked with 2-point starts (two hands), one zone hold and one finish hold.
Each category will have 12 brand new, shiny, inspiring boulder problems clearly marked with a category placard. Remember, points are accumulated across all climbs in your category! Youth and Master categories can score points on ALL beginner, intermediate & advanced climbs.
