IFSC 2022 Rules incl. Combined

IFSC has presented the 2022 rules including the point scoring system for the Combined events. As has been mentioned before, you get 25 points for doing a boulder on the first attempt and 24.9 for doing it on the second try etc. If you only make it to the first zone you get 3 points and 6 points are awarded for the second Zone, deducted also with 0.1 points per try. The results for every boulder will be presented in four columns and here is an example: A7 z2 Z3 T5 = 24.6 points (7 Attempts in total, 2 attempts to the first zone, 3 attempts to the second Zone and 4 attempts to the Top.)

On the Lead route, 100 points are awarded for topping out including clipping the anchor. A climber getting to the second last hold will get 95 points and 95.1 is awarded for getting a + on the second last hold. The 5 points deduction continues to hold -15 relatively to the top, meaning you get 25 points. Then a 2 points deduction continues to hold -25 (= scoring 5 points) followed by a 1 point deduction.
