Scoring a Route
-
Scoring is Relative: All boulders will be scored based on a relative format. A competitor’s score is directly related to their handicap (registered max grade).
-
Flashing the Route: Completing a route on a first attempt results in max points for the route. If a climber has a V2 handicap they will receive 100 points for successfully flashing a V2. If a climber has a V9 handicap they will receive 100 points for a V9. Each grade deviation is +/- 10 points. If a V2 climber successfully flashes a V3, they will receive 110 points.
-
Multiple Attempts: 1 point is deducted per failed attempt. So if a V2 climber successfully climbs a V2 on their 3rd attempt, they will receive 98 points. If a V2 climber successfully climbs a V3 on their third attempt, they will receive 108 points.
-
Tracking: Attempts may easily be tracked in Kaya by clicking "Attempt" on your route each time you try that route. Once sent, select "Log Send".
-
League moderators reserve the right to bump handicaps to prevent sandbagging.
League Guidelines
Criteria for a send:
-
Climbers must start with both hands established on the start holds and feet off the pads.
-
Climbers may only use holds that are part of their route to help them progress towards the finish. All routes will be monochromatic. All volumes on for all climbs.
-
To complete a climb, the climber must show control of the top of the wall or the finish hold(s) with both hands.
-
Climbs must be completed “clean,” that is, without falling or using holds from a different route.
-
If you have any questions on the criteria listed above feel free to ask the front desk.
Attempts:
-
Every time a climber pulls onto the wall counts as an attempt. For example, if a climber falls 6 times while initially projecting a route, and sends it the next day in one go, that will count as 7 total attempts to complete the route in its entirety without any falls.
-
If a climber ‘flashes’ the climb, or completes it on the first try, it is considered 1 attempt.
-
1 point is deducted per failed attempt. Flashing the route will result in max points for the route.
Expiration of climbs:
-
All boulders will be eligible for one week (i.e. Monday evening through Sunday night) and availability will be shown in Kaya. The final week will end on Saturday at noon.
-
You cannot repeat a boulder once it is sent and included in your score.
Awards & Prizes
-
Awards ceremony will take place on May 9th at our pizza party. We encourage all league participants to join us for the awards ceremony and a pizza party.
-
Top 3 teams will receive prizes.
