The Secret Behind Our Textured Finish Reading NEW: Points Based Scoring System Test 6 minutes

Hey everyone!
As some of you know, we've been experimenting with a points-based scoring system to better reflect individual performance across our grip competitions. The idea is simple: the better you do in each event, the more points you earn. It not only rewards standout performances, but also gives everyone extra incentive to push hard — especially in the events you’re strongest in.

How It Works:

  • Each one of our competitions includes multiple events (like max lifts and hold-for-time challenges).
  • Athletes earn points based on their performance — either scaled against the top performer or ranked within weight classes.
  • Event points are totaled to give a competition score.
  • At the end of the comp, athletes earn overall points toward a season-long leaderboard.

Why We're Doing This:

  • Fairer representation of performance: Every effort counts, not just podium finishes.
  • Season progression: Athletes can now track their standing across the year.
  • More strategy: Focus on your best events, but consistency pays off.
