In reply to jonny2vests:
At the end of each event each competitor gets ranking points according to their position in the comp. 100 points for 1st, 80 for 2nd, 65 for 3rd and so on.
These points are then added together to give an overall ranking. In a year like 2012 when there are 6 comps. in the Boulder World Cup, 5 events count, so your top five scores count towards your ranking at the end of the season, the climber with the most points wins!
Shauna C is currently ranked in 3rd position overall with 270 points, only 26 points behind Anna Stohr in 1st! Should be a great end to the season!
