Terms
Attempt / Zone / Top
Boulder scoring symbols. An attempt is any try that isn't a zone or top. A zone (Z) is reached by touching the zone hold, worth 10 points. A top (T) is controlled on the final hold, worth 25 points and automatically includes the zone. Each extra attempt after the first reduces the score by 0.1.
Category
A division athletes compete within, such as Youth D Boys or Open Women. Categories determine which routes and judging stations athletes are assigned to.
Check-in
Confirming which registered athletes actually showed up on competition day. Unchecked athletes remain registered but do not appear on the active startlist.
Competition
The private side of your event, where you do the setup and your judges enter scores. Each competition is separate and linked to one hub.
Detail (boulder)
A group or heat that splits a field across judges within a route. Details ensure every athlete gets a fair number of attempts per route.
Draft
A hub that is not yet public. Only your own staff can see it.
Hub
The public, shareable page linked to one competition. Athletes and spectators use the hub to view schedules, results, and live leaderboards.
Hub ID
The short name that appears in your hub's web address. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens — between 4 and 50 characters.
Lane (speed)
Lane A or lane B in a speed run. Each lane has its own standard wall and timer.
Organisation (org)
The club, gym, or company that owns competitions and members. Your organisation covers billing, athlete registrations, and who can see your hubs.
Passcode
The code that lets judge devices into your competition's scoring pages. One code covers the whole competition, so share it only with your judges and change it if it gets out.
Publish / Freeze
Making hub data public or locking final standings. Publishing shares results live; freezing prevents further score edits.
Role
The access level on a staff account — org owner, admin, or staff. Judges don't have a role; they get in with the passcode instead.
Route / Boulder
A climb athletes attempt. In boulder disciplines, each round uses a different route, and judges record attempts, zones, and tops per route.
Round / Phase
A stage of the competition, typically qualifier, semifinal, or final. Rounds dictate which routes are used and how athletes advance.
Startlist
The ordered list of who competes, including lane and group assignments. The startlist is generated from the registered athletes and check-in status.
