Additional Information

Unusually, the Champions' Wall in this series only had three tracks. This meant that after the final regular game, there were two Champions' Wall rounds: the first would be competed by those in 4th, 5th and 6th positions, with those final positions being fought for. The second would pit the teams in 1st, 2nd and 3rd on the scoreboard against each other, fighting for the victory. In 2012 it was therefore impossible for a 4th, 5th or 6th placed team to snatch victory at the last breath on the Champions' Wall.

This series had a bizarre scoring system which awarded bonus points which built over the 12 events and was converted into a head start in the final. For the first 10 heats, the country winning the Champions' Wall received 6pts, the 2nd 5pts, and so on down to 1pt for a 6th place finish. The maximum score was 60pts bonus and the minimum 10 pts. Then further bonus points were added for the Champions' Wall positions in the two semi-finals as follows: 10pts (1st), 8pts (2nd), 6pts (3rd), 4pts (4th), 2pts (5th) and 1pt (6th). These were added to actual scores and carried forward to the final, where the full bonus points total across the previous 12 shows was as follows: Kazakhstan 115pts, Spain 101pts, Russia 89pts, Greece 88pts, France 56pts and China 50pts. The country with the best grand total would start the final with 12pts already on the scoreboard, the 2nd with 10pts, the 3rd with 8pts, the 4th with 6pts, the 5th with 4pts and the 6th with 2pts. It has to be said that the whole bonus points idea was a great folly as it rewarded the successful teams, punished the less successful ones and gave the strongest teams an advantage in the final that they didn't really need...

Additional Information

The Kazakhstan team was disqualified while leading on the Champions' Wall decider game after their second player used his feet to aid his climb, which was against the rules. Consequently, their third player did not take the start. This relegated them to 3rd place on the night.
