ABOUT
A COMPETITION SERIES BUILT FOR PARKOUR
Vertex Series provides a structured, fair and professional competition pathway for athletes across Speed, Skill, Flow and Style.
ABOUT VERTEX SERIES
HOW THE SERIES WORKS
Vertex Series gives parkour athletes a clear competition journey. Athletes can enter Open events, choose the disciplines they want to compete in, earn ranking points through the season and qualify for progressively higher-level stages. The system is designed so first-time competitors can understand where to start while experienced athletes have a clear route toward the top level of the series.
Competition information, entries, live scoring, official results and rankings are connected through the Vertex Series system, so athletes, coaches, parents and spectators can follow the same season from entry through to final placings.
THE SEASON PATHWAY
FROM YOUR FIRST OPEN TO PREMIERE.
Each stage has a different purpose. Open events build rankings, Finals narrows the field, and Premiere is the elite invitation stage.
START COMPETING
Open events are the accessible entry point to the series. Athletes compete in their chosen disciplines and begin building ranking points for the season.

COMPETE YOUR WAY
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
You do not need to compete in every discipline to take part in Vertex Series. Your season can be built around the disciplines you choose.
WHO CAN ENTER?
Vertex Open events are designed as the accessible competition stage. Athletes enter the age division they are eligible for and may compete in one, several or all four disciplines, subject to the event regulations.
AGE DIVISIONS
The standard Vertex Series divisions are U10, U13, U17 and 17+. Rankings and results are separated according to the competition classifications used for the event.
DISCIPLINE RANKINGS
Speed, Skill, Flow and Style each have their own season ranking. Points earned at eligible competitions accumulate through the season, so athletes can track their position and qualification progress in each discipline.
ALL-ROUND RANKING
A separate All-Round ranking can recognise athletes who compete across the complete parkour programme. To qualify for the All-Round ranking, an athlete must compete in all four disciplines.
