Running a bouldering competition shouldn't mean drowning in paper scorecards and spreadsheets. BoulderScoring is the competition management app built specifically for climbing gyms and comp organizers — so you can focus on the event, not the math. Set up in minutes. Create your comp, configure categories, assign boulders, and share a password with your climbers. That's it. No complicated setup, no IT required. Real-time scoring, live leaderboards. Scores update the moment they're entered. Climbers, coaches, and spectators can follow standings live on any device — no refreshing, no waiting. Self-entry or judge mode — your call. Let climbers log their own sends on their phones, or assign judges to boulders for formal competitions where accuracy matters. Both modes work together seamlessly. Flexible enough for many formats. Points-based scoring with tops, zones, and attempt penalties. Redpoint scoring with custom boulder values. Tops-only. Flash bonuses. Configure it to match your comp exactly. Built for real gyms. Separate categories by gender, age, and skill level. Assign different boulder sets to different divisions. Run team competitions alongside individual results. Export final standings when it's done.
