Dates:
THE CRAG QUALIFIERS: Saturday, September 7, 2024 | 15115 OLD HICKORY BLVD SUITE C, NASHVILLE
ONSIGHT QUALIFIERS: Saturday, September 21, 2024 | 5335 WESTERN AVENUE, KNOXVILLE
SYNERGY QUALIFIERS AND FINALS ROUND: Saturday, October 5, 2024 | 427 E MAIN STREET, CHATTANOOGA
FORMAT:
THREE QUALIFIER ROUNDS (Sept 7 at The Crag, Sept 21 at Onsight, and Oct 5 at Synergy): Redpoint format — competitors climb with their friends and watch the other competitors on the climbs. Each time a climber wants to attempt a climb, they hand their scoresheet to the relevant judge (stationed around the gym), and await their turn. Each competitor gets one try before they can return their scoresheet to the back of the stack (managed by the judge) to await another attempt, or they can remove their scoresheet to try a climb in a different area. Competitors will be ranked by total points from top 5 scoring completed boulder problems at each event. For each event, this is your qualifying SCORE. Prizes are awarded at each qualifying event to the top three scoring males and females in each of the 6 age divisions.
FINALS ROUND: World Cup format. Top 6 scoring male and female competitors from each of the two categories (Lil’ Beasts and Big Beasts) based on TOTAL of qualifying scores from all THREE qualifier events move on to the Finals Round. Competitors are not REQUIRED to attend all qualifiers, but it is clearly an advantage in order to obtain a higher total score. Based on performance in the Finals Round, top 3 male and female Lil’ Beast and Big Beast will earn CASH PRIZES + other awesome swag from our sponsors
