Frequently asked questions
How many events do I have to do to be part of the series?
A minimum of (3) events is required but you can do up to all (7) events for the most scoring opportunities.
How does the scoring work?
Single Event Scoring
In the example below, the OVERALL Olympic triathlon winner at Michigan Titanium (MiTi) had a finish time of 2:26:51, earning a total of 1,000 points.
“Jane Doe” finished her Olympic triathlon at MiTi with a finish time of 3:09.54, which was 43:03 behind the overall winner’s time. Jane’s time difference is converted to seconds (2,583 seconds). Her percentage of time behind is determined by the time behind the winner, expressed as a percentage of the winning time (in seconds). Finally, Jane’s percentage behind is multiplied by 1,000, and that resulting value is subtracted from 1,000.
Jane’s point total is: 706.8 rounded to 707.
How does the scoring work for multiple events?
Multiple Event Scoring
As we learned in the previous question, “Jane Doe” scored 919.6 points at Michigan Titanium for her Sprint triathlon. Jane previously scored at the following series:
- Bear Lake Triathlon – Sprint Tri: 708 points
- Grand Rapids Triathlon (Sunday) – Half Duathlon: 500 points (minimum score possible)
- Michigan Titanium Triathlon – Olympic: 773 points
So, adding together all of Jane’s scores, her total series points would be: 1,981
In this scenario, Jane would still have an opportunity to score additional series points at The Dirty Mitten Gravel Triathlon in September, increasing her chances on the leaderboard for the series.
How do I find results?
We will link series results website to the main menu of this website. The results site will go live in conjuction with out first 2024 triathlon, Bear Lake Triathlon, in late May.
