Finals Format

League Finals are on Friday, March 7th, 4-10 PM and Saturday, March 8th from 2-8 PM.

Finals session registration is now open. You will pick ONE finals day and get your climbs in on that day.

Finals Climbing Details:

There will be 7-9 finals climbs that are all progressive routes: each route will start off easier, and get harder as you climb up the wall. For example, the easiest climb will start at 5.7 and end around 5.9, and the hardest climb will start at 5.12-/5.12 and end at 5.12+.
All finals climbs are flash format: you will get one attempt per finals climb.
Every climb will have 8 zones. You will get points for the highest zone you achieve on your single attempt of each climb.
Because we have so many league participants, you will receive a scorecard with the three finals climbs you may attempt. These 3 climbs will be centered around your target grade.
In additional to the 3 finals climbs you can get points on, there will opportunity to score bonus points on up to 5 additional climbs around the gym, plus bonus points for dressing up in a costume related to your team's theme!
We will have pizza from Slyce, beer from Odell (21+ participants), and NA sodas/beverages available during both finals sessions.
The league merch item will be available for pick up during each final day.
Awards will be available the day after the second session after we tally up all the scores and announce the winners.

Award Categories:

Top 3 teams overall
Top 3 individuals overall for Lead and TR categories
Individual with the most recorded climbs
Best team name (crowd voted during finals week)

League Rules & Details

The Overview

Each week, you will be scored on your top 3 climbs. Both you and your teammate's top 3 climbs will combine for a total team score each week, and your total league score will be your 4 highest scoring weeks, bonus challenge points, plus your finals score.

Team Formation

Teams of 2 | Sign up with a partner! You will get a team score, which is the sum of both individual's scores.
If you don't have someone to climb with, there will be a league partner board up in the gym starting Sunday, January 5th, for you to find a partner. If the start of league rolls around and you still haven't linked up with with anyone, we will pair you up with another climber.
We will assume you usually will climb with your partner, but it really doesn't matter for scoring purposes. If you need another pal to belay you some sessions, that is a-okay.

Setting a Climbing Style and Target Grade

Each week you'll be scored on the top 3 climbs you send. You get points for each climb based on your target grade and climbing style selected when you sign up.

Selecting your Climbing Style:

Choose between Lead or Top Rope (TR). We will be doing separate individual award categories for TR and Lead!
If you choose Lead, you will only be able to score climbs that you send on lead.
If you choose TR, you can score climbs that you send on lead or TR, but there are no bonus points for leading.

Selecting your Target Grade:

This should be the highest rated climb that you typically send on a day of climbing at the gym, according to the Climbing Style you select.
We encourage you to set an aspirational goal! Keep in mind that your target grade should be difficult for you, but doable. You should not be able to hit your target grade on every climb you score.

Scoring

To receive points for a route you must send it cleanly without any takes. If you fall, then you must lower to the ground before starting again for it to count towards your score.
Remember, we are not doing bonus points for leading. Push yourself as you see fit!
You may "second" a route in the lead-only terrain and get points for that climb.
You may re-climb a route during league for points two times, however, you will not get the 10 point "unique climb" bonus on your second climb.
Your team score is the total points between you and your partner.
Everyone gets 1 drop week - the week with your lowest (or no) score
NEW THIS LEAGUE: Weekly bonus challenges! Each week, there will be a specific bonus challenge you can get points on. We will be posting those challenges soon!

Your personal score each week will be the sum of the 3 hardest climbs you send clean. Keep in mind that if you set your target grade accurately, your climbs are not all likely to be at or above your target grade. If you consistently are sending climbs above your target grade, then you should have set your target grade higher. We will be evaluating scores after you have 3 weeks of scores to assess if your target grade needs to be bumped up or down.

As you enter the routes on your scoresheet we'll give you the score you receive for each climb based on that target grade. If you climb a route at your target grade you get 100 points. Each grade above or below your target grade changes your score by 10 points. For example, if your target grade is 5.11 and you climb a 5.11-, you will get 90 points for that climb. If you climb a 5.12- (which is 2 +/- grades above 5.11), you will get 120 points.

Getting Bumped:

After Week 3 and after Week 5 of league, we'll evaluate what grades you actually climbed determine what your real target grade should have been and recalculate all of your scores based on that new target grade. We'll basically throw out your outlying highest and lowest grades and set the target grade one or two +/- grades above middle grades you climbed. If you hit your target, your score will stay the same. If you climbed well above or below your target grade, we will adjust your score accordingly. We will do our best not to bump you unless you are climbing well above or below your target grade.

Google Sheets

Each participant will receive a link to their own personal online Google Sheet for tracking their climbs. Paper scorecards will be available, but please only use them if you don't have a way to use the Google Sheet. Each week you come in to climb for league, activate the respective weekly scoresheet in Google Sheets. If you have any questions, ask the desk staff to show you how to use that. After you climb a route you'll enter the number of the route (from the start tag). You also need to put the initials of a witness (most likely your climbing partner) in order for your score to show up in your scoresheet.

Your sheet will also show you the routes your partner has logged, and their score.

Team scores will be pulled together each week on Monday and a leaderboard will be posted here on this webpage and on the blackboards in the gym.

FAQ

1Can you count a route twice if you top rope it and then lead it?

Not on the same day. However, you could count it on TR one day, and then again another day on Lead.

2What counts as a send?

Climbing the route without weighting the rope (taking) or falling.

3Can I "second" a route?

Yes, you may second a route in lead-only terrain and get points.

4Can I climb the same route more than once?

Yes, you can climb a route twice during league. On your first time you will get a 10 point bonus for the route being a unique climb. On your second time, you will not get that 10 point bonus.

5Should I choose my target grade based on top rope or lead?

Top Rope. If you only lead climb, you know we’re not talking to you. If you are working on leading, but still top rope most of the time, go off your top rope grade.

6Can I be bumped to a lower grade?

Yes, at the end of the league we'll evaluate what grades you actually climbed throughout the league and determine what your real target grade should have been. We will recalculate all of your scores based on that new target grade. Basically, we'll throw out your outlying highest and lowest grades and set the target grade based on the middle grades you climbed.

7Can I climb a route more than once?

Yes, may climb a route a second time during a different week, however, you will not get the 10 point "unique climb" bonus on your second climb.

8Do I have to climb with my partner every week? What if we have to climb at separate times?

You can climb with anyone you want, even if they are not participating in league. BUT you must climb with your partner on Finals Day!

9Do I have to use Google Sheets?

No, but please do. It is extremely helpful to us when pulling together scores. If you need a physical scorecard, ask for one at the front desk.

10When will I get the league merch item?

You will get the league merch item on your finals night. The merch item is included in the price of Sport League.
