Competition Format
The 2025 season introduces a beginner-friendly “session” competition format, where participants can climb as many routes/problems as they can within a specified time period. Ranking will be based on the number of climbs completed, and further broken down by number of zone holds reached.

SEASON RANKING SYSTEM
At the end of the 2025 Season, an overall winner will be awarded in each category. The overall winner will be based on the points each competitor has accumulated throughout the season.
Points are "earned" at every event joined, with each competitor's event ranking having an equivalent point. For example, 1st placer = 1000 points, 2nd placer = 805, 3rd placer = 690 points, and so on.
The complete Point System table can be viewed below. It was taken from the World Ranking system, which was published on the IFSC website ("Climbing World Ranking" document) as of January 2025.
