HOW TO PLAY? The organizer reserves the right to amend any of the below stated rules and regulations without prior notice to the participants involved. SCORING

Each climber will be given a scorecard The organizer will not be responsible for any 'lost

scores' as a result of misplacement of scorecards Points corresponding to the difficulty of the routes will

be awarded to the participants for clearing each route All scorecards must be returned by the stipulated cut-

off time for the participant's total score to be recorded Winners for the ENDURO categories will be based on

the highest total number of points accumulated during the given duration of the event.

Winners for the ELITE categories will be based on the 10 highest scoring routes climbed by the climber

In event of a tie in any category, the climber with the most points accumulated from any single route will be ranked higher (including the 11th climb and beyond for the ELITE category climbers)

Team categories will be judged according to the total scores of all the teams members combined. Highest ranked team in each category wins. Any ties in scores will be broken using the above rules, applied to the highest scoring team member from each tied team. No minimum sex-ratio required for team categories, but ladies score double for all points collected.
