12B.5.3 Scoring Points
The preliminary course is divided in different sections of easy, medium and hard lines. Easy lines are worth one point, medium lines are worth three points and hard lines are worth seven points. The objective is to score as many points as possible by successfully riding (“cleaning”) sections within the specified time period.
Preliminary Round
Difficulty Points
Easy 1 point
Medium 3 points
Hard 7 points
During finals, completion of a line with zero pedal grabs will be worth three points. A deduction of 0.5 points will be made for each pedal/crank grab used during completion of the line, with a maximum of two points deducted i.e. 4 pedal grabs.
Final Round
Base Points for Line Completion 3 points
Number of Pedal Grabs Used for Line Completion Total Points Received for Line
1 2.5 points
2 2 points
3 1.5 points
=>4 1 points
A pedal/crank grab is defined as the rider placing their weight on an obstacle through the bottom of the pedal/crank which is in contact with the obstacle (see 12B.5.4 Definition Of “Cleaning”).
A pedal/crank grab is considered complete after a clear takeoff by pushing through the pedal/crank and not though the tyre.
The pedal/crank may be re-positioned during a pedal/crank grab without being considered a new grab as long as the pedal does not move more than the width of the pedal away from the initial position on the obstacle. i.e. traversing an object in continuous half pedal width grabs will result in multiple pedal/crank grabs recorded.
Old
12B.5.5 Multiple Attempts
Riders may attempt any problem multiple times until they succeed or decide to abandon the section. However, it is not possible to earn additional points by cleaning a section more than once, and no points are awarded if the rider does not clean the entire section.

During preliminary rounds, it is not possible to earn additional points by cleaning a section more than once, and no points are awarded if the rider does not clean the entire section. During finals a rider may re-complete a line with fewer pedal grabs to receive a higher score. Only the rider’s best result at each line will be recorded.
Body
Provide more points for less pedal grabs. Addressed (hopefully) all instances where rules need to be changed to make this work.
