Mode:

Qualifying: Open mode. Of the 56 boulders, the twelve most difficult "Top" climbed boulders are

counted for each climber. The number of attempts is not included in the scoring and the rating is

to be entered on a scorecard. Each boulder will have a point value, with boulders 110

(Orange)

worth 1 point, boulders 1120

(Green) worth 2 points, boulders 2130

(Grey) worth 3 points,

boulders 3140

(Brown) worth 4 points, boulders 4148

(Red) worth 5 points and boulders 4956

(yellow) worth 6 points.

 

Finals: The six best male and female participants in the qualification will compete in the finals.

The women's and men's finals will take place on adjacent walls at the same time. The finals will

consist of three boulders, which may be considered before 10 minutes by the referee. Each

boulder has, in addition to the defined start holds, a marked zone hold in the middle and a finish

hold at the top. Participants have up to five attempts to complete each boulder or to reach its

zone hold. Here, the selected top or zone hold must be held in control and not only touched.

After each attempt, there is a change of climber. The attempts are initiated by start signal. From

the start signal the respective finalists have 20 seconds to enter the boulder. If this time is

exceeded, the test is regarded as unsuccessful. The participants may not watch other

participant’s attempts. Observing other participants is only permitted if the boulder has been

completed successfully or all five attempts were unsuccessful. In the evaluation, the number of

attempts and the reached tops and zones will count. If a tie occurs, the points obtained in the

qualifying round will be counted. Should this also result in a tie, the placement and the profits

are shared.

What else?

 

Boulder market:

New this year: in our boulder market you can browse, shop or even sell stuff throughout the day.

BLOCKHELDEN boulderboutique will sell brands like E9, Nihil, Metolius, Jung, Steinwild, Prana,

Ocun, Tenaya, La Sportiva, etc. for special prices to all fashionconscious

people and is looking

forward to many sellers who join them in the fleamarket area. Does this sound familiar: the

Internet has seduced you to buy the most beautiful things and when you open the package it is

sheer horror in your face, or you realize that you already have the same item 20x in the back of

your closet…? You will probably find a new owner for your stuff in our boulder market. Please

make sure the stuff you want to sell has something to do with climbing, etc. to raise your

chances of finding a buyer. This way, we can make our contribution to sustainability and saving

resources.

Just come here, put your were onte one of our beer tables and sell as much as you can.

No registration neccessary. The bouldermarket runs from 11am till 6pm.

Who prefers bouldering instead of selling can give his things to BLOCKHELDEN who will donate

the money earned to the charitable organization: Children and medical aid for Laos of Prof. Dr.

Volker Schöffl, a passionate climber, doctor of the national climbing and bouldering team,

member of BLOCKHELDEN, specialist in surgery, Facharzt für Chirurgie, orthopaedics and

and casualty surgery at the hospital Bamberg, participand and Standbydoctor

at the international bouldercup Frankenjura 2016.
