League Scoring:
Each week, your individual score will be the sum of your top 3 problems. After the last week, your team’s final score will be a cumulative total of your team's 5 weeks. Your team's weekly score will be the sum of the team's individual scores. If there is a tie between two teams, attempts will be used as a tie-breaker.
Points are scored using the V-Max Handicap System. We'll set your V-Max on the first day of the league. To determine your V-Max, we will use the highest v-rating that you climb on the first day of league. Your points are then derived from that baseline. If you climb two grades higher the next week, your v-max will be bumped up a grade.
