Features

  • A new category system is introduced!

    Options for age groups, gender classification, and the Power/Relaxed distinction are replaced with categories that can be used in any number and with any title. Categories bring a variety of improvements:

    • Competitions can now freely decide how to name their gender categories.

    • Dynamic boulder devaluation can now be done separately for each category.

    • The final is no longer limited to “Men” and “Women”.

    • In the near future, it will be possible to charge different entry fees - depending on the category.

  • Series results are now calculated automatically. There’s no need to manually transfer event results to the series anymore.

  • Relaxed categories are now also included in the series results.

  src="https://blocsport.net/YOUR-EVENT/embed/"
>
</iframe>

    Note
