Participants will self-select a grade level based on their expected climbing outcomes (your grade level should be the grade that you find challenging, but that you would expect to complete within one session).
A completed climb at your grade level will be worth 50 points, a climb one grade higher will be awarded 55 points, a climb one grade easier will be awarded 45 points, etc. Each competitor’s top three climbs from either location will be added together to create that competitor’s score, and all competitor’s on each team will have their scores combined to create the team’s total score for that week.
Competitors who climb at both locations in a given week will get a 10% boost to their scores. Competitors who routinely overperform or underperform their self-selected grade level will have their grade level adjusted by CRG staff.
The chart here provides a scoring breakdown with the bolded grades representing your grade level.
