System Documentation
How competitions, scoring, and rankings work on Competition Hub — for athletes, organizers, and judges.
All competitions on Competition Hub belong to one of four modalities and one of four tiers. These two attributes determine how results affect national rankings.
Modalities
| Modality | Examples |
|---|---|
| Freestyle | Freestyle routines, judged on execution / difficulty / creativity / flow |
| Streetlifting | Weighted pull-ups, weighted dips, weighted squats |
| Sets & Reps | Max pull-ups in 2 min, max dips, max push-ups |
| Statics | Planche hold, front lever, back lever, human flag |
Tiers
| Tier | Level | Multiplier | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Virtual / Benchmark | ×1 | Online opens, benchmark tests |
| 2 | Local / Sanctioned | ×2 | City-level CC-sanctioned events |
| 3 | Regionals | ×3 | Provincial Championships, Regional Qualifiers |
| 4 | Nationals / Championship | ×4 | Canadian Nationals, CC Championship |
A competition is created by an approved organizer (affiliate or admin), set to draft status, then published once at least one event is added. Athletes can register while the competition is open.
Each competition contains one or more Events (e.g., "Max Pull-ups in 2 min", "Weighted Dips", "Freestyle Routine"). Athletes receive a Score per event.
Placement Points (per event)
| Place | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 500 |
| 2nd | 460 |
| 3rd | 430 |
| 4th | 405 |
| 5th | 380 |
| 6th | 360 |
| 7th | 340 |
| 8th | 320 |
| 9th | 300 |
| 10th | 280 |
| 11th | 260 |
| 12th | 240 |
| 13th | 220 |
| 14th | 200 |
| 15th | 180 |
| 16th | 160 |
Placements beyond 16th earn 0 points. Each event's championship value = placement points × the competition's tier multiplier.
Each score record also stores a raw score (reps, time, weight, or judge score) and optional discipline-specific details (e.g., total load for streetlifting, or execution/difficulty/creativity/flow for freestyle).
Score Types
| Type | Description | Counts toward ranking? |
|---|---|---|
| Sanctioned (Official) | Entered by a CC-approved organizer at a registered event | ✅ Yes |
| Unofficial / Self-reported | Entered by an athlete for personal tracking or unregistered competitions | ❌ No (hidden from public leaderboard) |
| Private | Not visible to other users regardless of sanction status | ❌ No |
Athletes can request that organizers who have scores in external formats (spreadsheets, etc.) submit them to CC for official onboarding. See the Score Upload Requests section below.
Rankings are calculated per modality and overall. Here is the full formula:
- Placement Points are assigned per event based on the granular table above (1st = 500 … 16th = 160; beyond 16th = 0).
- Event Value = placement points × the competition's tier multiplier (Tier 1 ×1, Tier 2 ×2, Tier 3 ×3, Tier 4 ×4).
- Per modality, your score = the average of your top 5 event values in that discipline within the championship year (fewer than 5 → average of what you have).
- Competition Activity Bonus is added after the average, rewarding more frequent competition within a modality: 2nd comp = +50, 3rd = +45, 4th = +40, 5th = +35, 6th = +30, 7th = +25, 8th = +20, 9th = +15, 10th and beyond = +10 each.
- Overall ("Hub Pts") = sum of all four modality scores — Freestyle + Streetlifting + Sets & Reps + Statics.
- Verified athletes (who claimed their Hub account) receive a +10% boost on Overall.
Tie-breakers
When athletes have identical ranking scores, ties are broken in order: highest single event score → most 1st-place finishes → most podium (top-3) finishes → most competitions participated in.
Example
| Athlete | Competition | Tier | Multiplier | Placement Pts | Event Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alex | CC Nationals | 4 | ×4 | 500 (1st) | 2,000 |
| Alex | Ontario Regionals | 3 | ×3 | 460 (2nd) | 1,380 |
| Alex | Toronto Open | 2 | ×2 | 430 (3rd) | 860 |
| Alex | Virtual Open | 1 | ×1 | 405 (4th) | 405 |
| Alex | Spring Benchmark | 1 | ×1 | 380 (5th) | 380 |
Alex's Freestyle modality score = average of top 5: (2000 + 1380 + 860 + 405 + 380) / 5 = 1,005 pts (+ any activity bonus). Overall = sum of all four modality scores.
The National Benchmark Series runs twice per year (Spring Open and Fall Open). Athletes submit video proof of their performance across three modules:
- Endurance — 8 standard exercises + 2 wildcards (reps-based)
- Strength — 4 standard exercises, 2 selected as the required combo per Open (weight × reps / Wilks)
- Skill — 10 standard skills + 2 wildcards (hold time × multiplier)
Judges review each submission and mark it Passed or Failed. Athletes who pass at least 2 of 3 modules qualify for the national benchmark leaderboard.
Benchmark results appear separately from competition results on the leaderboard but contribute to an athlete's overall standing.
Each athlete profile shows:
- Modality-specific ranks and scores
- Competition history (sanctioned events)
- Benchmark submission status
Score Visibility Rules:
| Score Flag | Visible to public? | On leaderboard? |
|---|---|---|
| is_sanctioned=true, is_public=true | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| is_sanctioned=false, is_public=true | ✅ Yes (marked unofficial) | ❌ No |
| is_sanctioned=true, is_public=false | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| is_sanctioned=false, is_public=false | ❌ No | ❌ No |
Athletes can add unofficial scores to track results from non-CC competitions or informal events. These are clearly labeled and never affect national rankings.
If you are an organizer with historical results saved in spreadsheets, PDFs, or other formats — CC can onboard these into the Hub as official sanctioned scores, provided the event meets CC standards.
How to request a score upload:
- Email info@calisthenicscanada.com with subject line: "Score Upload Request"
- Attach your spreadsheet or results file (CSV, Excel, PDF accepted)
- Include: event name, date, city, modality, tier, and athlete list with placements
- CC admin will review and import within 5–10 business days
Note: CC reserves the right to decline uploads for events that do not meet sanctioning criteria or lack sufficient documentation.
