The climbing format at each competition is determined solely by the hosting organization. Typically, competition hosts offer three skill brackets: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Depending on the host, competitors can either choose their bracket or may be placed based on their score. Typically, comps are on-sight format, meaning scores can only be earned if a route/problem is climbed without falling and without beta.

All competitors will register with the individual host. Registration links will be added here as they become available. Series registration is free and linked to comp registration.

• Individuals: Anyone who registers a score for a comp will be entered into the series standing.
• Teams: Team members must designate their team affiliation when filling out their score card for a MCS climbing competition. This will count their score towards the team score.

MCS scoring is separate and most likely different than that of a local competition. MCS will recognize the overall top three co-rec teams and male and female climbers. Participating MCS events will provide an overall ranking of the male and female climbers to the MCS board within one week following the event. The top finisher in each division will earn 100 points, second place 90 points and so on using the scoring chart below. Standings will be updated once comp results are submitted.

Team rankings will be calculated using the teams top three climbers based on their MCS points. Each team must include at least one member of the opposite gender (2M:1F or 2F:1M).

In the event of a tie, the team with the highest-ranking fourth team member will break the tie. If each team does not have a fourth member, the average score of the top three team members will be calculated. The team with the highest per climber average will be the winner.

The top three event scores for each team/individual will be combined and placed from highest to lowest. The team/individual with the most overall points will be the winner of the series.

The top team will receive a traveling trophy, to be awarded to the sponsoring organization. The top three male and female climbers will win individual awards.
