There are 4 events in 4 gyms to gain points for each climbed boulder. Each event lasts approximately 10 days - from Friday evening till next Sunday evening. Boulders climbed outside the announced period will not be counted. Each boulder can be counted only once even if climbed multiple times.

Each boulder is awarded 1000 points which are divided among all ascensionists. Cumulation of all points will give final ranking which serves as qualification for finals. Boulders 7A and harder will have marked zone holds which will be also awarded. Topping a boulder means starting with marked starting holds and climbing without falling to top hold which is held with both hands during 3 seconds. Being awarded a zone means holding the zone hold effectively and either making a move or maintain a position, in other words only touching zone hold is not enough. In the event of a tie in the final ranking, the total number of zone holds will be taken into account.

Top 20 climbers in each category will be allowed to participate in finals. The finals will be held as one day event divided in two parts. During first part climbers of all 4 categories will have 3 hours to climb maximum amount of boulders with 1000 points system as described above. 3 climbers of categories 1 and 2 will who earn the most points will be awarded. 6 climbers of categories 3 and 4 will participate in second part of finals. They will each have 4 minutes to climb each of 3 final boulders. 3 climbers who climb the most boulders will be awarded.

Results of the rounds will be recorded live and published here and on www.etto-climbing.com. Each climber is solely responsible for entering the results correctly and on time. Abuse or fraud will result in direct exclusion.
