The Full Breakdown

How Gym League Global Works

Every exercise, every benchmark, every point — exactly how a match gets decided and how the season table is built.

What's a Team Made Of?

Every match is scored across five categories — your team fields an athlete (or pair) in each:

There's no fixed roster size carved in stone — plenty of teams start with a handful of people covering multiple categories, and grow from there. Your gym decides who competes where, week to week.

The 4 Gates — 12 Exercises

Every match moves through four gates in order. The first three each hold three exercises; the fourth is a combined sprint finish.

Row 500mFirst to finish wins

Doubles and Mixed Doubles pairs are judged against the exact same benchmark as singles — a pair puts up one combined score, not two separate ones added together.

Scoring an Exercise — Gates 1–3

Every exercise in the first three gates works the same way:

Max 2 points per exercise, per category. Nine exercises across Gates 1–3 = up to 18 points before you even reach the sprint finish.

Gate 4 — The Sprint Finish

All three exercises are combined into one timed, all-out effort. No per-exercise points here — it's about finishing, and finishing first.

Winning a Match — The Season Table

Add up every exercise and Gate 4 result for both teams, across all five categories, and whoever has the higher total wins the match. That's what decides who wins on the day.

For the season standings, that result converts into league points — same idea as most team sports:

Win the match

Higher total across all categories and gates.

3 points

Lose, but finish everything

Every athlete/pair attempted every exercise and every Gate 4 sprint.

1 point

Lose and don't complete every station — a no-show or a DNF partway through — and the match is worth 0 points in the table. Showing up and finishing always counts for something; not finishing doesn't.

The Season

A typical season runs 6 weeks. With 4 teams in a region, everyone plays each other twice — one match a week, every week, home and away style. Your season table tracks match points, wins/draws/losses, and total points scored for and against (the tiebreaker when two teams are level on match points) — updated the moment results are entered on match day.
