What is micro TAB ?
The Micro TAB is the ‘youth’ version of the TAB : a competition designed specifically for children and adolescents, with problems to suit. The format is a bouldering contest, open to all. Participants will have two hours in which to complete around 30 problems (25 to 33 depends on route settings), with an unlimited number of attempts. Here’s how a contest works.
TAB offers high quality climb problems and huge climbing time.
The Micro TAB is open to Youth A, B, C and D categories (check category here please) . No "microbes" categories will be accepted for registration in 2020.
Only The category Youth A and Youth B will have a final the saturday 8 August before the Open international finals.
For other category, There are no finals, the rankings are decided on the basis of the contest results.

Inscriptions
Inscriptions are open for all nationalities. The Micro TAB is open to Youth A, B, C and D categories (no microbes, only from people born in 2003 to 2010). Check category here please
All participants must have a licence.
For non-french climber two ways to participate :
1. Have an IFSC licence
2. Buy a french day licence (6e) the day of check in (register online before) and have a medical certifcate stating the climber is able to clim in compétition. You need to register online and buy the licence the day of the check in : For person which don't have licence, click on "je ne suis pas licencié" and after at the bottom of the form clik "licence decouverte". If the system ask you licence number, just put 000 in the licence number case.
Your country licence is not accepted due to insurance problems
To register, each participant must have:
- An valid licence (read text before).
- Parental authorisation ( you can sign it the day od check in or to brin it with you)
Here the link to download parental authorisation : Parental autorization 2020
Registration fee: 23€ (6€ more to buy french day licence)
All persons who do not have IFSC licence and who buy French day licence absolutely need to have a medical certifcate stating the climber is able to climb in compétition.
Info for youth A : Some people ask us if they can register for the open international and microTAB at the same time. The regulation authorizes youth A outclassed to participate in a senior competition with ifsc licence. However, since the blocks of the microTAB and senior open international contest are open with similar holds and sometimes the same modified frames, we can only accept registrations in "open senior leisure" that will not have a final or prize money . This in order to avoid any problem for the climbers of the international TAB. If the person is aiming for the final of the international open for finals or prize money then I suggest to register only to international open.
A Youth A can do the international TAB and access the final (no microTAB in this case) or do the microTAB and TAB Seniros leisure (no access to the final).
DON’T DELAY! Numbers are limited to 350 climbers for all category !!!
Please note :
For practical reasons (printing bibs, start lists etc.), registration for the 2019 edition will ONLY be possible ONLINE and registration will close 5 days before the start of each competition. You will NOT be able to register at the venue for the International Open, the Micro Tab or the Jurassik (veteran) Open
