SCORE STANDINGS:

CHECK STANDINGS
- Scoring is normalized by your handicap (which is decided by you), which may be adjusted during the competition.
- Example: A climber with a V2 handicap climbing a V2 graded problem will receive the same amount of points as a V10 climber climbing a V10 graded problem.
- Handicap Adjustment: As you progress and improve throughout the competition, your handicap may be increased accordingly.
- Example: A climber with a V2 handicap sends a V4 problem, or multiple V3s, their handicap will likely be bumped up to V3.
- Flashing will earn you extra points, and climbing at your handicap will also give you a higher score.
$84/team ($21/person) for regular registration, (After 10/08)

RULES:
- Good sportsmanship is key. We encourage camaraderie between teammates and other competitors!
- The first session that you climb the problems each week, you must submit your online scores! Attempts from later climbing sessions will not count!
- Climb any problem in the week's new bouldering set (the tags will not have a grade and will say Bouldering League with a number). Mark down the climbs you have completed, and mark whether it was a flash or not.
- A climber's top 5 climbs will be scored and the top 3 teammates' scores will be recorded for that week.
- Go to sender.one/bl-scores to submit scores after your session. All scores must be in for weeks 1-3 by Sunday evening. You can use your phone to enter scores.
- Week 4 is Finals. All competitors will climb Thursday 11/14 between 5p & 9:30p. Awards will be announced on Thursday evening in person starting at 9:30p.
- Paper score sheets are one per person / per week. Please drop your paper score sheet at the front desk before leaving. Remember to log your climbs before! Paper sheets are just used as backup.
- No SANDBAGGING. Set your honest handicap. A handicap is defined by the hardest grade you can consistently climb in one session.
- Individuals can climb on any league day. This means that you may climb with your team each week but it is not required.
- No substitutes allowed.
- We will be requiring a witness to initial your climbs. Please be honest with your scores!
- Try hard!
Facility Health Guidelines:
- Competitors can choose any ONE day to climb beginning Tuesday 5p through Sunday's closing (weeks 1-3)
- Don’t have to climb with their teams
- Only liquid chalk or chalk balls are permitted while bouldering. Loose chalk is not permitted.
