Round One: Redpoint Competition

- Scores are determined by each competitor’s top five ascents.
- A detailed schedule is announced approximately one week prior to the competition.
Round Two: Finals - The Showdown
- The top six women and top six men overall will advance to the Showdown.
- These scores are based on the top five boulder problems that were successfully completed and recorded during the Redpoint Round.
