The classic of classics, Finland's oldest bouldering CUP - the BK CUP - is on again this year. Now even bigger, stronger and better! There are new categories (including a TEAM category!!!), more raffles, a DJ aka live music, side events and other fantastic things!

NEW CATEGORIES, NEW OPPORTUNITIES!

This year we have our own series for those climbers who climb sixes! If you climb below 6C, the TOWARDS 7A category is for you! Our routesetters will make sure the make awesome comp style problems in all grades.

There is also a category for those who have already reached adulthood (this means climbers of 40+ years of age). This is the Masters category. All silver foxes and senior "strongsters" are welcome!

If you don't belong to either category, hop on to the main category, where the prizes are, per usual, yearly memberships and eternal glory! In all the categories above we have both the women's and the open series to choose from.

OR better yet, you can also put together your own group and climb in a TEAM! Your Team can include 3 to 4 people. The more categories your groups' individuals belong to the better chances you have of winning! Points are calculated by the team members' placements in the individual groups! You can't change your team mid-season but you can add a 4th member later on (points will begin counting only starting from their first comp in the team).

You can participate in both the individual and the team categories, but only in one individual category. All the team members must mark their scores in the individual categories.

SCORING

Each problem is worth 100 points. The points for each problem are divided among the ones who climbed the problem. For example, if three climbers have climbed it: 100p / 3 = 33.3p and so all three climbers get 33.3 points from that particular problem. In addition, extra points are given for flashing a problem with a multiplier of 1.5.

REGISTRATION

Registration is done with Problemator via browser at pwa.problemator.fi. On the same site, competitors log their ascents and the points are calculated automatically.

TEAMS should be registered by sending an email to info@boulderkeskus.com! State the names of your team mates (please make sure the names are the same as in Problemator!)

SWEET PRIZES

In the main category, we have the classic prize of yearly memberships in addition to eternal glory! The winners of both Main Women's category and Main Open category wins a full year's membership. Half a year goes for those in the 2nd place and 3 months for those in the 3rd place.

Of course, you will also get glory and sweet prizes from the other categories. AND as the icing on the cake: four 3-month memberships will be raffled off among all competitors who take part in all the comps!

The prizes also include, among others, a sauna evening at the Löylykontti and various merchandise prizes!
