Struggle Bus 2022 score card made by Joey Whitehead

To keep people honest with which category they personally choose to climb in, for this years comp we were presenting the rule that if you climb greater than the category brackets you first signed up to be in, then your category placement will be bumped up to the higher category. Overall rule is 5 problem discipline for final score so climb 3 problems higher than your category and you will be bumped.

However in this comp, nobody got bumped! Everybody chose the correct category that they should be in.
