The total

One grade per event, no published total

Each event is logged, measured by you. Each event has its own mark from 1 to 6; 4 is “sufficient”. A time rounds up to the next, slower step; an underwater distance, down to the whole meter; for the 12-minute run, the source doesn't say.

The source marks each event without saying how to combine them: no total and no verdict.

What this page doesn't say

Because the source doesn't say it

  • how the 12-minute distance is rounded;
  • how the grades are combined, the overall threshold and their weight: it is up to the force.
