Remaining Route
Three Majors Left
The Pacific Rim begins the second half of qualification. World Invitational selection and the Gasm Gauntlet can still rearrange the field violently.
The World Invitational
Lausanne, Switzerland · October 9–11, 2026
An invite-only field of thirty-two Climaxthletes plus federation-approved alternates, staged within inconvenient walking distance of IBGF headquarters. The result can reshape the World Finals cutline before the Gasm Gauntlet.
The Gasm Gauntlet
Las Vegas, Nevada · November 13–15, 2026
Ten stages. One body. No mercy. The final Major and the circuit's most feared championship qualifier.
December 18–20 · Las Vegas
Twenty-Four In. One Grin.
The World Finals do not award qualification points. At that stage, qualification has become somebody else’s problem.
