Isolation
Athletes must remain in the isolation area before and after their attempts and may not be given information about the other athletes scores from anyone other than those athletes themselves. A staff member will pull athletes out of isolation when it is their turn and walk back to isolation when their attempt is completed. Once a climber has attempted their final boulder they may remain in the crowd to watch the others climb the final boulder.
Observation
Prior to competing, the athletes will have a 5 minute observation period where they will be allowed to to look at the boulders and talk to each other about them before entering isolation. The competitors will NOT be allowed to touch any of the holds or risk disqualification.
Order
Non-Binary athletes will perform their boulders first while all of the athletes are in isolation. Once they finish, the male and female categories will compete simultaneously on their boulders. After scoring is finished there will be an award ceremony and prizes will be awarded.
The order that the athletes will compete in will be determined by score in the qualifying rounds in reverse order. The athlete with the 5th most points will go 1st, 4th most 2nd, etc… With the point leader going last.
