The results are in! Thank you to everyone that has taken part in this year's Grip League Qualifiers. Due to a few personal issues late last year / early this year we've really not been able to promote / push the Grip League as much as we would have liked this year, but we have been blown away by the amount of new competitors and some unbelievable scores.
This year's final will be bigger and better. We certainly promise that, I absolutely can not wait for it.
NEW: Points Scoring System
As many of you will already know we've been plotting an overhaul of the strongman style scoring which pretty much promotes tactical lifting, we wanted to make the switch to a points based system to reward you more for your best events and punish you more for zero's or low scores.
The points explained:
- Points = (Your Lift / Top Lift) × 1000
NEW: Timed Holds Scoring
It was tricky working out a formula for providing fair scoring that always allowed for the highest weight to win, especially when someone who scraped 5s at 80kg came up against a mammoth 46s at 70kg, but we got there in the end. I think it's a great representation of overall performance for this event. It may need to be tweaked and adjusted in future events, but the only way we can keep refining this formula is with data.
The points explained:
- Raw Score = (Weight × 8) + (Time × 1.95)
- Points = (Your Raw Score / Top Raw Score) × 1000
