Youth A - Born in 2008 or younger


Age cut-off follows year of birth (e.g. “2014 and younger” means born in 2014 or later).

Format:

  • Session Format Qualifiers: Each climber will attempt 6 routes within a set time duration, typically 20-40 minutes. The session duration will vary depending on the number of participants in each category.
  • Finals: The top 8 climbers from each category (Youth A-E) will advance to the finals. Climbers will attempt 4 routes in Rotational format
  • Youth F and all Novice categories: Qualifier only (no finals).

Novice Divisions (New for 2026)


Available for: Youth E, Youth D, and Youth C


Eligibility:

  • Only climbers within the age group who have never qualified for any bouldering competition finals in the past 1 year are eligible to join the Novice divisions.
  • Participants in the Competitive category are ineligible for Novice

Format:

  • Same session format as the competitive youth categories — each climber will attempt 6 routes within a set time duration, depending on participant numbers.
  • Separate set of easier routes designed to provide a smoother introduction to competitions.
  • Ranked separately from the competitive divisions.
  • No finals for all Novice categories.

Purpose:
The Novice divisions are designed to create a friendlier entry point for new climbers in the Youth E, D, and C age groups, where the range of ability is widest.


Youth F already climbs on beginner-friendly routes, while Youth B and A typically have fewer new entrants and progress more quickly due to age and experience.

Scoring: 


Based on the IFSC (International Federation of Sport Climbing) system, where climbers are ranked based on the latest scoring system where:
- Top = 25 points 
- Zone only = 10 points

- 0.1 points deducted for every unsuccessful attempt prior to scoring the Top/Zone.


Reward:

Participants can redeem a snack or toy after their competition.


* Participants from Youth F may join Youth E category as well.

Team Event

Each team consists of 4 climbers.

The team event will run in a carnival-style format, with more than 30 routes to try. Each climber’s 5 highest scoring routes will count towards the team total. The team with the highest combined score wins.
