SCORE CARDS

All you need to do is record how far you got and whether or not you did it first go. We’ll do all the adding for you:
• S is for just pulling on at the start worth 1 point.
• B1 if you reach the bonus hold (white tag) worth 3 points
• B2 if you reach the bonus hold (orange tag) worth 3 points.
• T is for matching both hands on the finish hold (black tag), or topping out, worth 3 points.
• F is for flash – if you do the problem on your 1st go it’s worth 1 bonus point.
The winner scores the most points, simple!
