Final round for each category is 4 problems, 5 on / 5 off (IFSC semi-final format)

A note on isolation for those new to this format:

An isolation zone (ISO) will be in effect for all age categories
Only athletes, certified coaches and officials are allowed into ISO
Competitors and coaches must check into ISO by the designated ISO close times, regardless of athletes are scheduled to climb in the running order
Competitors must stay in ISO until it is their turn to compete
Once in the competition area, competitors may not communicate with anyone other than officials until they are finished competing
Spectators can provide encouragement (e.g., “You’ve got this!”), but they cannot provide any information or advice that would be considered coaching (i.e., “use the green hold”, “there’s a hold around the corner”, “take a break”, “breathe”, “use a heel hook”)

Coaches who have been on the competition floor for the D/C/B round are allowed to re-enter ISO for the A/Jr round provided they enter by the ISO close time.

ISO Entrance and Athlete Drop-Off

Athletes and coaches must enter ISO through the Competitor Entrance at the back of the building. Please see the map below for directions on accessing this entrance (use Silver Seven Rd.)
Please note that there is no parking at the rear of the building. After dropping off athletes, parents/spectators must park at the front of the building (off Palladium Dr.) and use the main entrance to access the gym
