Crux Masters — points table

Raw grade value, partial-progress credit, falls penalties, and the endurance bonus ladder.

score nerdery

This is the reference table for the Crux Cup scoring system. Topped routes get full value, but unfinished hard tries still earn partial credit through progress bands before the falls penalty bites.

Formula

Base points depend on UIAA grade and rise nonlinearly.
Progress credit: topped = 100%, 90%+ = 85%, 75–89% = 65%, 50–74% = 40%, 25–49% = 20%, <25% = 0%.
Falls penalty: points = round(base × progress / (1 + 0.35 × falls))
Endurance bonus: at 10 topped routes = 1× average topped-route points, at 20 = 2×, at 30 = 4×, and so on.
0 falls = full progress-adjusted score.

Progress bands

These multipliers are the main fix for the old too-harsh zero-point system. Hard tries that go high now matter.

Band	Meaning	Progress multiplier	Example on UIAA 8, 0 falls
Topped	Topped / completed	100%	88
90%+	90%+ / very highpoint	85%	75
75–89%	75–89% / highpoint	65%	57
50–74%	50–74% / solid go	40%	35
25–49%	25–49% / worked it	20%	18
<25%	<25% / shut down	0%	0

Actual score = base grade value × progress multiplier × falls factor. So a hard near-send still earns useful points, while a true top remains the gold standard.

Completed-send grade table

Use this when you want to see the topped-route values before partial-progress scaling. Think of it as the full-send spine of the system.

This table shows topped / completed attempts. Beyond 3 falls, the same formula keeps chewing the score down.

Endurance bonus

Only topped / completed routes count toward endurance milestones. The average uses that climber’s own topped-route points so far, and the multiplier grows exponentially with each 10-top milestone.

10 tops → 1× average topped-route points
20 tops → 2× average topped-route points
30 tops → 4× average topped-route points
40 tops → 8× average topped-route points

So the bonus rewards staying productive across the whole session, not just sniping a single glory route.
