Scoring:
Scoring for qualifiers is based on your top 6 climbs. You get points awarded per climb, with possible decreased points based on attempts (ex. You get 300 points for a flash of problem #30, 295 for getting it on your 2nd attempt, 291 for getting it on 3rd+ attempts). Each completed problem requires two witness initials. Problems with missing initals or illegible scores will not be counted. The top 6 scores for each category (mens & womens) will proceed to finals.
