Scoring

• Scoring is equalized by your handicap, this handicap may be adjusted during the competition based on your results. This system will equalize the league and allow any and everyone to have fun, compete and win.
• How it works: a lower handicap climber will receive the same points for climbing a lower graded problem as a high handicap climber completing a higher graded problem.
• If a climber is set as a lower handicap and sends multiple problems above their indicated handicap they will be bumped up to the next level.
• Grades are blind, if you lower your true handicap you will be caught and your team will be penalized.
• Climb true, climb hard, have fun!!!!

• Our colour coded grading system will act as divisions for your handicap.
• 14 Boulders of the set that are part of each week’s Bouldering Leagues will NOT be graded.
• Each competitor will add their top 4 boulders to their teams total
• 5 Bonus points will be added to the climb if you climb above your handicap.
• Should you climb colours above your Identified handicap more than 2 weeks in a row you will be bumped a handicap level, remember folks, sandbagging is lame!!!!!!
• An extra 5 points will be awarded each week to any team who has full team participation if all of your team members show up.
