SERIES POINTS SYSTEM

Results from Race 1, 2, 3 & 4 will count towards the overall series awards.  Points are calculated based on the athlete’s finish position in their category. 

Our events offer the following categories (20-min Adults, 10-min Adults, 10-min Juniors & 5-min Mini-Kids). Points will be equally allocated for each category. The winner in each category will receive 50 points, followed by 49 points for 2nd place, 48 for 3rd place, 47 points for 4th place and so on.  Minimum points for completing a race is 20. In the event of a tie, the athlete with higher distance covered over the series will be the winner. If they are tied on points and distance, then the athlete with the lowest aggregate time will be placed higher. If athletes cannot be separated by points, distance and time, then both will be placed jointly in the standings.

For example: Athlete A, wins 4 races out of 4, completes an aggregate distance of 20km and obtains 200 points. Athlete B wins 4 races out of 4, completes an aggregate distance of 10km and obtains 200 points. In this case, Athlete A will be placed higher than Athlete B in the overall standings.
