Summer Bouldering League is Back!

Competition Begins May 20th

We couldn’t be more excited to host the Orlando climbing community for our annual Summer Bouldering League.

 The Summer Bouldering League is an opportunity for individuals aged 16+ to climb and compete in a 6-week season.

Starting May 20th, the competition routes will be reset weekly and participants will find a new set of boulder problems with designated points each week.  Blue Swan Boulders will host two designated league nights for participants to compete with one another.

SBL Participants will earn the opportunity to compete at the championship event at the end of the season.

For this league we will be using the Absolute Scoring System. Points will be based off climbers top 3 sends throughout the week will be recorded through physical score cards and tallied throughout the season. ALL participants are eligible for finals. Attempts will be recorded to deduct points (noted down below)

What are score intervals?

Boulders are set each week of the league on Tuesday, with League Nights occurring on Tuesday and Thursday. can climb and log league boulders from Tuesday when they are set until close on Sunday. League Nights are intended to create a space for folks in the league to climb together, but attendance on Tuesday or Thursday is not required, and competitors can still log boulders on other days in the week.

How do scorecards work?

One scorecard will be handed over per participant per week. Scorecards must be turned in by the end of the score interval (Sunday at close) to be registered for points. Climbers will record their attempts and send on scorecards as well as a “witness” to confirm their send. The top 3 sends on scorecards will be tallied by Blue Swan staff and tracked throughout the season.

Do the number of attempts matter?

Each attempt will be a one-point reduction from the boulder score, up to a maximum of 25 points. After the 25th attempt, points will no longer be deducted from that boulder’s score.
