Flash League Round Two: Scoring

This image is a poster for the upcoming competition. The poster reads 'Flash League, Winter Series. Round one, 28th November. Round Two, 27th December, Round three, 30th January. Round four, 27th February.' There is an interactive button in the right hand corner which reads, 'book here'. Clicking this button will take you to a different website called 'Capitan' and will let you book tickets to The Flash League, Round one.

Flash League, Round Two
Saturday 27th December
2.00pm – 5.00pm

The second round of the Flash League is fast approaching, so here’s a little look at how your scorecard will look!

Here are the categories;

VETERAN (ages 45+)

SENIOR (ages 17-44)

YOUTH U17 (ages 15-16)

YOUTH U15 (ages 13-14)

YOUTH U13 (ages 11-12)

YOUTH U11 (ages 6-10)

 

Once you’ve got the basic information out of the way, you can start recording your climbs!

Let’s take a look at the scoresheet…

Flash Attempt’ : You got to the top of the route on your first go.

Second’, ‘Third’ & ‘Forth Attempt’ :  You got to the top of the route after a few tries.

Zone Only’ : You managed to use the ‘Zone hold’, however you didn’t get to the top of the climb. (If you’re not sure what a Zone is, I’ll explain a little further down!)

If you didn’t get to the zone hold – leave that climb blank!

 

So, what is a ‘Zone‘?

A ‘Zone’ or ‘Zone hold’ is a marked hold, usually half-way through the route. Using this hold can earn you points on routes you can’t finish.

‘Zone holds’ must be held with control, you can’t just jump and tap it!

 

 ‘Zone Only’ can ONLY be ticked if you didn’t reach the top of that route.

If you select two boxes for one problem then your score for that problem will not be counted.

 

I hope this quick guide helps you navigate competition scoring, but if you have any problems, come and talk to a member of staff and we’ll help however we can!

 

See you soon!
