Track & Field and Adidas Rockstars rule changes like 8a suggested for bouldering

To speed up and increase the excitement in several disciplines in Track & Field, like in long jump, only the Top-6 out of twelve will be allowed to do four jumps. Then they will reduce to five athletes doing five jumps and just four will do the final jump. Also in Adidas Rockstars they reduce the number of athletes in order to increase the excitement. 8a has previoulsy suggested similar ideas for Bouldering in the World Cup. 1. Let 8 athletes advance to the final 2. Reduce to Top-6 after the first two boulders 3. Reduce to Top-4 after three boulders 4. Make a short break 5. Run a super final with the athletes in reversed order However, everyone who still has a chance to win, if the route setters have made a mistake separating the participants, are allowed to compete on the next boulder. Furthermore, the 8a suggestion did also include that the two first boulders are climbed at the same time. Before the fourth and last boulder, there is a short break and then the Top-4 climbs in reversed order. Such a final will take around 70 minutes including a 5-minute break and will be packed with action with a more exciting finish. This can be compared with 80-90 min for the current format which normally has plenty of sequences with less action and excitement.
