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

- 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.
