scoring system

​A competitors score is directly related to their handicap (registered max grade). If a climber has a V5 handicap they will receive 100 points for a V5. For v6, they will receive 110 points. For v4 they will receive 80 points.
​Each grade deviation is +10/-20 points.

climb	POINTS
AT YOUR DECLARED GRADE	100 PTS.
1 GRADE ABOVE	110 PTS.
1 grade below	80
2 grades below	60
each fall after flash attempt	-1 pt

• Your top 3 problems count toward your individual score each week
• ​Team weekly score = the average of all team members’ individual scores (participants with a score of 0 will be excluded).
• Total team score = combined points from all 4 league weeks.​
• Each attempt reduces the problem’s point value by -1 point. ​
• ​To keep scoring fair, if a climber consistently sends well above their declared grade, they’ll be bumped up automatically.
