Spring 2018 Sport League Details

• Started Tuesday, May 8th at 6:00pm.
• Meets Tuesday at 6:00pm every week, and ending with a finals event on June19.
• It's okay if you can't arrive until later. You can climb until 10pm.
• Over the course of the league your score will be your top 4 weeks of league scoring (not including finals)... thus, you are allowed to miss weeks (of the 6 normal league nights) without it affecting your score.
• Price: $30 includes a t-shirt, and a party for finals.
• Finals on Tues, June19th. We haven't set the format for that yet, but we hope to again create a venue where everyone can get a moment in the spotlight.

Here's how the league works

The first week, before starting to climb, each person will declare their "TARGET" grade. This should be the top grade that you normally climb consistently well, but don't always flash. If you are a lead climber, then this should be a grade that you can achieve on lead. We do reserve the right to increase your target grade (and recalculate your scores) if you end up underestimating your ability.

The rest of the evening you'll attempt to complete 4 climbs at or above your target grade. You'll get more points for going above your target and fewer points for climbing below your target. Each week all of the rope routes in the gym are available for you to climb and achieve points. If you received points for a route one week, then you are allowed to receive points for that same route a subsequent week, but only 2 times throughout the league for any specific route. Each week the setters will remove some routes and put up new ones so you should always have enough new routes at or above your target grade.

It's OK for you to have climbed/rehearsed a route before arriving at the gym on league night, but to get the points for a route on league night you must send it cleanly, bottom to top without hanging on the rope. If you fall, then your belayer must lower you to the ground before starting again for it to count.

Here are the current scores. Remember, an individual's overall score will be based on their top 4 weeks out of 6. So the individual and team standings can change drastically depending on who and how many of the participants are able to come each week.
