Provincial Rankings and Qualifying for Youth Bouldering Regionals
How are provincial rankings calculated?
Rankings are determined for each age/gender category. Climbing Manitoba’s policy on Athlete Selection sets out the number of points assigned to each finishing position (i.e. first, second, third, etc.). More points are assigned to the provincial competition than local competitions.
Climbing Manitoba will add an athlete’s provincial competition points to their two best local competitions points to determine their final ranking.
Why are athletes ranked provincially?
Athletes are ranked provincially in order to determine who will qualify for CEC competitions that rely on Provincial qualification, such as Youth Bouldering Regionals.
Which categories compete at Youth Regionals and/or Youth Nationals?
The categories which qualify for and compete at Youth Regionals are Youth A, Youth B, and Youth C.
Junior, Youth A and Youth B compete at Nationals.
Youth D competes only at local and provincial competitions.
What is the competition pathway for youth athletes to Bouldering Regionals and Bouldering Nationals, and how many athletes qualify for these two events?
As of November 15, 2024, Climbing Canada has provided the following information about quota for Regionals and pre-qualification for Nationals for the 2024-2025 season:
-
Youth C: Top 6 provincial athletes (in each gender category) qualify for Regionals.
-
Youth B: Top provincial athlete (in each gender category) qualifies directly for Nationals according to provincial rankings and those ranked second through fifth qualify for Regionals.
-
Youth A: Top provincial athlete (in each gender category) qualifies directly for Nationals according to provincial rankings and those ranked second through fifth qualify for Regionals.
-
Junior: Top 4 provincial athletes (in each gender category) qualify directly for Nationals according to their provincial rankings and do not compete at Regionals.
Note: The top 14 finishers at Regionals in each age/gender category qualify to compete at Nationals.
Youth D does not compete at Regionals or Nationals.
When will final provincial rankings be determined?
Climbing Manitoba has sanctioned The Hive’s Honey Dill Style competition in March 2025. Climbing Manitoba will use scramble scores from this competition to calculate the final rankings. Final rankings should be available a day or two after this competition.
