You are still in your sexist idea to put 8 men and 6 women in final!!???

Why?

Is this discrimination?

Ok… so what’s the ratio?

How many competitior it needs to have 8 in finals, how many for 7, how many for 6 ?

Is it just random or is it just sexist?

Come on girl, express your self? Don’t let those organisators decide who deserve the finals!!!

If we want to be totally fair, equal and non-discriminatory both me and women should climb the same finals problems, and shoud probably compete against each other.

Yeah you are right, like in any other sport.

5.7 QUOTAS FOR EACH ROUND

5.7.1 Section 5.7 shall be read in conjunction with Section 5.6 above, i.e. the ranking procedure shall first be completed before Section 5.7 applies.

In the New Boulder Format, the fixed quota is 8 men and 6 women.
In the Classic Boulder Format the fixed quota is 10 men and 10 women.

If the fixed quota for the final round is exceeded as a result of tied places following the application of the countback procedure, this higher number of competitors shall qualify for the round.

In the event that a semi-final round is held, the quota for competitors advancing to the semi-final round will be announced in the technical meeting.  This quota will be determined by the Jury President in consultation with the Competition Organizer and will be based on the number of registered competitors in the men’s and women’s categories respectively.

5.7.3 If there are two groups in the qualification round, the fixed quota for the next round shall be equally divided and applied to both groups.
