SCORING
On League Nights, competitors will meet in the appropriate bouldering area. Each league problem will be designated with a “League” tag letting you know it’s a part of the circuit. KAYA will score people on their top 3 ascents.
RULES
- Climbers must assemble a team of 3-5 participants.
- Participants must be 16+
- All scorekeeping and logging will be done within the KAYA app.
- Points are awarded based on KAYA’s handicap system (registered max grade).
- EX: If a climber has a V5 handicap, they will receive 100 points for a V5. If they have a V10 handicap, they will receive 100 points for a V10. Each grade deviation is +/- 10 points.
- inSPIRE Staff / KAYA has sandbag-detection that will help prevent people from being in the wrong handicap group.
- Each attempt after the flash go will result in a 1pt deduction. Competitors will record each flash, attempt, and send in real-time in KAYA.
- Climbers will be able to climb League Problems anytime between Tuesday and Sunday of the week they were set.
- League Nights will continue to be Tuesday and Friday where the area will be closed to other members for a VIP sending experience.
- A problem can only be counted once per person each week.
- Climbs “Expire” on Sunday of each week. Leaving them no longer available to collect points for.
- Individual Scores are comprised from the Top 3 Ascents. They will be displayed on the KAYA leaderboard in real-time.
- T-Shirts and Prizes will be awarded at the end of the season bash (date TBD).
Normal Bouldering Competition Rules Apply:
- Points are only earned by completing a problem from start to finish (two hand control of the finish holds).
- No “Flying starts.” You must show control of the start hold(s) before moving to the next hold.
- Every attempt must be from the start. You cannot work the problem from the middle.
- If you use a hold or feature that is “off-route,” no points will be earned.
- T-nuts in the wall and in volumes are off.
- In order to count, your attempts and sends must be witnessed by another individual (member, competitor, or gym staff). If no one is available as a witness, you can video record your send and upload it to Kaya.
- Be respectful of your fellow competitors and cheer each other on!

TEAMS & FLYING SOLO
Teams must be coed and consist of 3-5 boulderers. Since all scoring is based on your skill level, anyone can participate. A maximum of 15 teams will be accepted to season 3 so act fast. All team sign-ups are first come, first serve.
Don’t have a team? Not a problem – just sign up and we will place you on a team with other flying solo boulderers.
