RULES:

• Maintain Social Distance. We encourage camaraderie between teammates and other competitors, but at 6-feet apart!
• 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 the week by 6:15p on Sunday. You can use your phone to enter scores.
• 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 during the week. 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!

• 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 will be increased accordingly.
  • Example: A climber with a V2 handicap sends multiple V3 problems, their handicap will be bumped up to V3.
• Flashing will earn you extra points, and climbing harder than your handicap will also give you a higher score.
