Boulder League Rules

  • Divisions will be assigned after the first week of the competition and will be based on the average grade of the climbs you completed.

  • Points are earned by completing a problem from start to finish (must match and control final hold).

  • Flashes count for full points, and each attempt subtracts 1 point up to a max deduction of 5 points

  • Climbing above your Division will earn you up to 25 points (regardless of how much higher) and will only be counted a max of 2 times during the league

  • Climbing above your Division the 2nd time will bump you to the next division up

  • Climbing above your Average Grade 3 times a week for 2 weeks in a row will also result in a bump to the next division

  • Climbing above your division at any point can and will be reviewed by comp staff to assess if the climber should be moved up a division

  • Getting bumped up is NOT a bad thing! It is a good thing! It means you are getting better.

  • Climbing below your Division earns 0 points

  • Pink tape climbs are worth an additional 5 points, and Black tapes are worth an additional 10 points due to the amount of climbs in that range

  • Problems can only be counted Once per team member

  • You must control the start hold before moving to the next hold.

  • Volumes and outside corners are on.

  • Bolt holes on the wall are always considered off

  • If you use a hold or feature that is off-route, no points will be earned.

  • In order to count, your attempts and sends must be witnessed by another competitor

  • The bolt holes in holds themselves are considered “on”, but they can be dangerous so use at your own risk.
