How does the competition work?

Qualification Round

The challenge starts with 8 boulders in Jam Format, with male and female athletes competing on the same problems but with separate rankings. Attempts are unlimited during qualification, and points are awarded according to the highest point reached on each boulder:

- Zone 1: 5 points
Zone 2: 10 points
Top: 25 points
0.1 points are deducted for each attempt

At the end of qualification, the top 8 male and top 8 female athletes advance to the final.

KO Boulder Final

Everything changes in the final: 3 boulders with a maximum of 3 attempts on each. The scoring system remains the same, but now the knockout format comes into play.

- Boulder 1: 8 athletes → 3 eliminated
Boulder 2: 5 athletes → 2 eliminated
Boulder 3: the final 3 compete for the podium

Round after round, the field gets smaller until only the final boulder remains. That’s where the podium of The Fun Bloc Under 15 2026 will be decided.
