A slightly different scoring system will be used at the last IFSC World Cup of the season. The changes only affect the distribution of points: each round is still worth 100 points, the maximum total number of points remains at 200.
This is how the points are awarded in Morioka
boulder loop
- 25 points are awarded if the athletes have controlled the top hold, regardless of whether they previously controlled any zone holds on the boulder
- 10 points will be awarded if the athletes have controlled the second zone hold but not the top hold, regardless of whether the first zone hold was controlled on an attempt
- 5 points are awarded if the athletes only controlled the first zone grip.
lead round
- Athletes receive points for the highest 40 holds of the lead route
- 4 points per grip are awarded for the top ten grips
- After that, the number of points per grip decreases by one point for every ten grips
- No points are awarded for the remaining number of holds (the bottom ones).
