B Grade Qualifier, Saturday 30th October 2004:

The top two or three, male and female competitors (this will depend on places available) from the Qualifier will qualify for the open National event on Sunday. The B Grade Qualifier is really for anyone who wants to be involved in the Nationals. So if you are a Novice this is also the category for you!

Please Note: Those competitors that qualify through the B-Grade Qualifier on Saturday (i.e. make it through to the Sunday open event) will also be required to pay an entry fee for the event on Sunday.


Qualifying for the Nationals:

The top 10 people from each category at each State event (NSW Series in NSW, WA Series in WA) will qualify for the nationals.

The ASCF Australian National Bouldering Titles will run from April - October 2004. A qualifying event will be held in most States and Territories. See the Competition Calendar

Ranking points are allocated for both the State level events and for the National event held in October. These two rankings will be added together for each competitor to produce a National Ranking for bouldering.
