The stations of the season

The 13 stations of the Boulder Bundesliga are spread across Germany. After the opening event in Dortmund, the competition continues to Cologne, Wuppertal, Kassel, Hanover, Hamburg, Berlin, Jena, Erlangen, Forchheim, Wiesbaden, Waiblingen, and finally Munich. Each station remains open for six weeks, giving participants ample time to solve the boulder problems there. Scoring is based on a fixed point system with a multiplier (more information about the mode).

Germany Cups – Highlights of the season

In addition to the regular events, the Deutschland Cups will once again take place. This special format is a fixture at selected events and offers a compact competitive experience with daily finals and prize money. The top six men and women in the first division qualify on-site based on the daily rankings and compete against each other in a final that evening.

The prize money for each Deutschland Cup is a total of €6.600, distributed among the top three final placings for both men and women. The results also contribute to a separate overall cup ranking.
