Rules and procedure of qualification and finals:
The qualification will be played in two rounds. Each round will have its own rules and a different number of qualifiers for the finals.
6.12.2024 -16:00-20:00 – Qualification wall Ústí (capacity 100 participants)
You can register either on the spot or via the form found on the website https://www.hudysteny.cz/usti/. Everyone who wants to participate must pay the entry fee of 300,- CZK. The payment method is only possible on the spot, in cash or by card. The race will start at 16:00 on 40 pre-prepared and marked boulders. The principle of qualification will be to obtain the highest possible number of points. Points are earned per boulder climbed and the final point value for each climb is determined by the final number of climbs. Each boulder is worth 100 points and these points are divided according to the number of climbs. In case only 2 people climb a given boulder, they get 50 points per climb, if 10 people climb a boulder it is worth 10 points. Each competitor receives a paper on which he writes down his results. For boulders numbered 31-40 the zone is marked (with a small pink circle). For these boulders, competitors will record both attempts on the zone and attempts on the top. The start is marked with pink circles (1 circle = 1 hand), and the top is the highest hold of the boulder. A boulder is considered climbed when the last hold is held in a controlled manner with both hands. At the end of the race at 20:00 competitors will hand in their entry. The results will be processed as quickly as possible and at 21:00 at the latest the advancement to the final in Prague on 21.12.2024 will be announced.
21.12.2024 – 10:00-14:00- Qualification Hudy Boulder Karlín (capacity 100 participants)
Each participant must fill in the application form, which can be found at: https://www.hudysteny.cz/boulderkarlin/stena/akce-a-eventy and pay the entry fee of 350,- CZK. Each climber will write down the boulders climbed by himself using the ClimbLife app https://climblife.app/ (you can add the icon to your phone on the above mentioned website – you will not find the app in the APP Store or Google Play). So you need to use the ClimbLife app and create a unique registration in it. The races will take place in this environment. The advantage will be the continuously available standings and the quick evaluation of the results after the qualification. The principle of qualification will be to accumulate as many points as possible on 20 pre-marked boulders in as few attempts as possible within a time limit of 4 hours. This should be sufficient time for all participants to attempt the boulders. The boulders will consist of 8 yellow, 8 green and 4 black, all in newly built sectors 4, 5 and 6. The start is marked with pink circles (1 circle = 1 hand), the zones of each boulder will be marked (with a small pink circle) and the top is the highest hold of the boulder. Each zone and each top will be worth a different number of points. In case of a tie, the number of attempts will be decisive. Each competitor will write everything down himself in the application. After the finish at 14:00 the preliminary results will be visible directly in the app. After that, time will be given to check the results and any protests until 14:20. After the review and possible reworking, the advancers for the evening final will be announced at 14:30 at the latest. The top 4 men and 4 women, regardless of age, will advance to the finals. In total, there are 8 qualifiers from Prague. We will rely mainly on your honesty, however the whole wall is under camera surveillance and in case of protests it is easy to detect fraud, so please compete in the spirit of fair play.
The final of the main competition:
The final will be attended by the 7 best men and 7 best women with the ratio of 3 Usti and 4 Prague. The final of the main competition will start at 18:00 and will take place in a pre-prepared sector on which the final boulders will be built 4 for men and 4 for women. These boulders will not be accessible to anyone outside the builders until the start of the final. At 18:00 the final will start and all finalists will be lined up according to the results from the qualifiers and will gradually walk from the isolation to their final boulders. From the last advancers from Ústí to the first best from Prague. So the last advancing man and woman will start on boulder 1 and will have 4 minutes to climb it. After that, the pair from sixth place will come in for their 4 minutes. After the best advancing boulders #1 have been climbed, the last pair will start again on boulder #2. In this way all finalists will take turns on all 4 boulders. The evaluation is as follows: the number of boulders climbed is the primary deciding factor, followed by the number of zones climbed and in case of a tie the number of attempts.

Rules and course of competitions
Qualifications:
Anyone wishing to take part in the competition must complete an application form and pay the entry fee.
In this case it will be all about collecting as many points as possible in 2 hours and qualifying for the evening final. Each color of boulder will be worth a different number of points, namely:
Blue boulder = 1 point
Red boulder = 2 points
Orange boulder = 4 points
Black boulder = 8 points
Green boulder = 16 points
Yellow boulder = 30 points
Everyone can choose their tactics. You must start from the marked holds. 1 ring = one hand and the boulder is considered climbed if the climber holds the last (highest hold) in the route in a controlled manner. Climbed boulders will be recorded by each climber. There is no set number of attempts to climb a boulder and there is no distinction how the boulder was climbed (whether it was climbed in a flash or in 10 attempts – the number of points is the same). If someone finds out before the official end of the qualification at 11:00 that he will not climb any more, he can hand in his entry at the organizer’s table and the result will be recorded. In the case of a tie, the time of submission will be of the essence. At the end of the 11:00 a.m., the preliminary results will be processed and evaluated and published as soon as possible. Time will then be given to check the results and any protests. After review and possible rework, the advancers for the evening finals will be announced no later than 12:00. The top 6 men and 6 women will advance to the finals. This makes a total of 12 participants. We will rely primarily on your honesty, however the entire wall is under camera surveillance and in the event of protests, cheating can easily be detected, so please compete in the spirit of fair play.
The final of the main competition:
The final of the main competition will start at 17:30 and will take place in a pre-prepared sector on which the final boulders will be built. 4 for men and 4 for women. These boulders will not be accessible to anyone outside the builders until the start of the final. At 17:30 the final will start and all finalists will be lined up according to their qualification scores and will progress from isolation to their final boulders. From last to first. So the last advancing male and female will start on boulder no. 1 and will have 4 minutes to climb it. After that, the pair from fifth place will come in for their 4 minutes. After the top advancers have climbed boulders no. 1, the last pair will start again on boulders 2. In this way all finalists will take turns on all 4 boulders. The evaluation is as follows: the number of climbed boulders is the primary factor, then the number of climbed zones and in case of a tie the number of attempts is also decisive.
Endurance competition
Anyone wishing to take part in the competition should sign the list at the reception between 09:00 and 11:00, sign that they agree to the terms and conditions and that they are competing at their own risk and safety. He/she will be given a form at the table to climb the boulders and at 11:00 he/she will be allowed to enter the hall and start climbing.
In this case it will be purely an endurance race. This means that one boulder climbed equals 1 point, no matter what colour it is. Everyone can choose their own tactics. You must start from the marked holds. 1 ring = one hand and a boulder is considered climbed if the climber holds on to the last (highest hold) in the route in a controlled manner. Climbed boulders will be recorded by each climber. In case someone climbs all available boulders, at this point he/she can start collecting points for second climbs. There is no set number of attempts to climb a boulder, nor is there a distinction between how the boulder was climbed (whether it was climbed in a flash or in 10 attempts). If someone finds out before the official end of the competition at 16:00 that he will not climb any more, he can hand in his entry at the organizer’s table and his time will be recorded. In the case of a tie, the shortest time will count. After the end at 16:00, the preliminary results will be processed and evaluated and published as soon as possible. Time will then be given to check the results and any protests. After review and possible rework, the official winners will be announced at 16:45 and prizes will be given out for the top 3 places. We will be relying primarily on your honesty, however the entire wall is under camera surveillance and in the event of protests, cheating can easily be detected, so please compete in the spirit of fair play.
Press force competition
In the background of our wall there will be a supplementary competition in the strength of the grip all day between 12:00 – 20:00. There will be a list at the prepared table, where you can sign up for free and try how much weight you can lift with one hand. The most weight you can lift off the ground will be recorded and we will evaluate the strongest man and woman that evening, who will receive a prize for their performance.
