Scoring by points possible by IFSC new rule

As number of zones is the new second critera for the IFSC bouldering scoring, most probably they will present the scoring something like this. 1. 3T 4z (5:7) 2. 3T 3z (4:6) 3. 2T 4z (2:6) 4. 2T 4z (3:6) To make that much easier they can simply take out T and z and present it with points. In practice this means that a Top equals 10 points and that a zone equal 1 point and the media would be free to actually skip the T's and the z's in the result list, see below. 1. 34 (5:7) 2. 33 (4:6) 3. 24 (2:6) 4. 24 (3:6) Bear in mind that most think that two zones would be great, meaning we could continue with the same point scoring and it would be much easier for the Olympic non-climbing spectators to understand. In the 11 point system, we have also given an extra point for the flash of the top. Otherwise we could end up that a person who has flashed three tops but failed to get to the second zone on the fourth, would be beaten by somebody doing the three tops in 10 tries and getting the second bonus on the fourth boulder. In the same way, one flash and flash of all but one zones would be beaten by somebody doing all scoring on the four problems in 15 tries. Flash is the name of the game in bouldering and that is why we have given it one bonus point in the 11 point system.
