Take on the entire course.
Every obstacle is another opportunity to build your score, and every clear adds something different to your performance.
Every obstacle is an opportunity.
Clear what you can.
Keep moving.
Every clear adds up.
A miss doesn't define the whole run. Every obstacle ahead is another opportunity to add to your performance. Take on the entire course and see what you can put together.
Your Full Course score is built obstacle by obstacle. Each clear can earn you two things: difficulty points for completing it and time points based on how quickly you completed that obstacle.
How hard was the clear?
Every obstacle you complete earns difficulty points.
Obstacles that fewer athletes complete become more valuable, so successfully clearing one of the day’s toughest obstacles can add more to your score.
How fast did you clear it?
Your speed is measured on each obstacle you successfully complete. Faster clears can earn more time points for that obstacle.

This is what matters.
Each obstacle is its own scoring opportunity. Clear it, and your difficulty points and time points for that obstacle contribute to your overall performance.

Your finish time ≠ Your time score
Time points are based on how quickly you complete each individual obstacle, not simply how fast you finish the entire course.
Take on the whole course. Every obstacle is an opportunity.
A miss doesn’t erase what you’ve done or what comes next. Keep building.
Keep going. In Full Course, a missed obstacle does not end your scoring opportunity for the rest of the course.
You can continue to the next obstacle and keep building your score through the obstacles you successfully complete.
No. Once your attempt on an obstacle is complete, you move forward through the course. Full Course is about your performance across the entire course rather than retrying individual obstacles.
For retries, athletes should look to the Challenge Course format.
No. Your performance is built from the obstacles you successfully complete.
That means every clear matters—even if you miss other obstacles along the way or don’t complete the entire course.
Full Course is generally used when competition is designed to test performance across an entire course.
At the World Championships, Full Course is used for the Endurance discipline, where athletes take on a course designed to test endurance and grip strength.
The formats offered can vary by competition, so check your event details to know what you’ll face.
