The Team Challenge is exactly like the one last year:
We will count down levels as a team, similar to the years before. To make it easy for everyone to start a new Level, progress will be made in steps of 1000.
LEVEL 1 = 1000 points, LEVEL 2 = 2000 points… you get it, right?
Basics
Count every repetition, that gets you one step further on your "Pull Up Road"...
Scoring
You rank the exercises yourself:
easy: 1 point per rep/hold
medium: 2 points per rep/hold
hard: 3 points per rep/hold
and beyond: ? points per rep/hold
Help needed?
Here is a possible ranking system:
Ranking (max reps/ to fatigue): points per rep
Rank A+ (1-2): 5 pts
Rank A (3-5): 4 pts
Rank B (6-13): 3 pts
Rank C (14-24): 2 pts
Rank D (25+): 1 pts
1 rep equals a 3 sec hold
