The Format:
A ‘score yourself’ qualification round
with 25 problems starting from font4+. Very similar to our normal
bouldering league comps. Set so there will be plenty of problems in
the font 5 to 6 range (equivalent to our level 1 and 2 problems in our
circuits) so everyone can have a good climb in the qualification round.
The top 6 men and women go through to
an onsight final of 4 problems each which will be set on the
wave/Bleasutone walls.
The comp has Senior (18 or over on
8/2/14) and Junior age categories (age 10 years (chnaged from 12) to
under 18 years on 8/2/14) as well as a Team event. It is open to any
climber who is at least 10 years old on the 8th Feb 2014. However,
please note there will be no special junior problems set but again
there will be plenty you should be able to have a good go at.
Team entry – In the qualification round
any 3 people can make up a team on the day of the event, just let us
know on the day that you want to be part of a team. You do need to be
entered as an individual first, there is no extra cost to then be part
of a team. Teams must contain at least one female climber. Being in a
team means you have a chance of winning more prizes!
Each competitor will receive an F-BO14
competition vest or T-shirt (for juniors) provided you pre enter
on-line.
SPOT Prizes – There will be lots of
prizes up for grabs by any climber during the qualification between
