I've seen conflicting information about what a kip-up actually is. Is it a "cheater pull-up" or is it clicking your heels over a pull-up bar?

The latter.

Credit for the creation of the UBRR would go to SGM Ed Bugarin and a few teammates. See link below for interview.

He still has the original piece of paper on which he and his teammates wrote down the evolutions. One of the most generous and humble men of his calibre I've ever met, and a continual wealth of knowledge.

I understand that there's a different UBRR test which includes the following events:

56 push ups in 2 minutes, then get up
66 sit ups in 2 minutes, then get up
5 mile run in under 40 minutes
8 dead hang pull ups
1 rope climb with a weight vest

Could some explain to me how these events shake on a points scale?
