Winter Series
Winter Series 2024/25 Scoring & Rules: 📖
Scoring
For each event in the Winter Series, 50 points will be awarded for 1st place, 49 for 2nd, 48 for 3rd and so on, down to 1 point.
Volunteer points count towards your final score and are awarded as follows; 10 points for your 1st volunteering event, 2 points are awarded for volunteering events thereafter up to a maximum point limit of 20 points (20p = 6no. times volunteered).
Best 8 events count in the final standings. The Best Score achievable is therefore 420.
Rules
Best 8 events count in the final standings and for points to count you must:
Complete a minimum of 8 events.
Have volunteered at least once (winter series)
Complete 1no. Swim, 1no. Bike and 1no. Run event OR 1no. Multisport event (aquabike, aquathlon, duathlon, triathlon)
If a tie breaker for 1st occurs, the competitor who has entered the most events is deemed the winner.
WTC Coaches & Committe members automatically earn 10 volunteer points without having to volunteer at any event in the series.
Scores will be QA/QC’d after the last event before the final standings are announced.
Any committee decisions will be final.
Winter Series – New League Format
There are 3 leagues in the open series based on ability. The intention is that this will allow people to compete against people of a similar level and keep the series competitive for everyone.
These leagues will not have age or sex categories.
We will continue to keep the age group classes in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
To assess what division you are placed in we collect your 400m swim time, 20km cycle time and 5km run time. Please use your best time in the last 2 years, (we will check). If you don’t know your time, your best guess please. You will be allocated to a league according to the rank of your times for your 2 best events.
In the first year (2024) it could be a bit hit and miss but we’ll try and make it as fair as possible. We will also not be relegating or promoting anyone but may move people who are obviously in the wrong division, or they request to be in a higher division. The
process to promote or relegate will be reviewed next year (summer series 2025).
