YOUTH NATIONAL FORMAT

The Youth competitors will have 4 problems in the Qualifying round on Saturday. Each competitor will check in to isolation and will
be brought out when it is his/her turn to climb. The climber will be given 4 minutes to climb with a 30 second transition. The climber
will then rest for 4 minutes before attempting his/her next problem. During the 4 minutes, the climber has unlimited number
of attempts.

A climber's score is the sum of his/her score on each problem. Every hold on each problem has a point value that is awarded
to the climber when s/he controls the hold.

The top 10 competitors from each category will advance to the finals round.

Finals on Sunday will be in the same format, but there will be 3 problems to climb instead of 4.

NOTE: These are NOT the complete regulations, but rather a very brief summary. For complete details, check the USA Climbing:ABS Rule Book.
Each competitor is responsible for knowing the rules.
