Dungeon Run — Boss Fight Handicap
Challengers who reach the Boss carry their accumulated dungeon bonus handicap into the final fight, stacked on top of their base (belt/weight/age) handicap.
Boss fight handicap cap: 20 pts total
No matter how large the combined base + bonus would otherwise be, the total is capped at 20 pts for the boss fight. This ensures the Boss always has a realistic path to winning on points, while the challenger still carries a meaningful reward for clearing all five stages.
Stage bonus breakdown:
White stage win: +0 bonus handicap
Blue stage win: +1 bonus handicap
Purple stage win: +1 bonus handicap
Brown stage win: +2 bonus handicap
Black stage win: +2 bonus handicap
Maximum dungeon bonus: +6 pts
Example: A White belt challenger who clears all five stages vs a Black Belt Boss:
Base handicap: 16 pts (4-rank belt gap, ×2 multiplier)
Dungeon bonus: +6 pts (full clear)
Combined: 22 pts → capped at 20 pts on the match card
The challenger wins by submission at any time regardless of score.
