How is it worked out?

finish time of the winner X 100

Each athletes finish time
If FRANS won the race in 1:02:25, to calculate the point for
LELI who finished in 1:03:53 :
1:02:53 X 100 1:03:53 = 97.70
Therefore, FRANS will score 100
and LELI 97.70 points

Present Scheme comments

This system was ok when there were 50 athletes on

the point scheme (up to 5/6 years ago) but has

become long and cumbersome now that we have
acceeded 150 total athletes on the system.

Our proposal
PROPOSAL :
We eliminate these calculations and we effect a

system of points which will be clearly established

before the competitions
This proposal will be based on the maximum

number of points given to the winner of each

particular race on the TOTY Scheme

PROPOSAL :
The points of the entire field will then be based as a

percentage of the winners points

Our proposal for the points is :

2nd place : 95% of the winners points

3rd place : 95% of the 2nd placed athlete
4th place : 98% of the 3rd placed athlete
5th place : 98% of the 4th placed athlete
and so on until the end of the field

TOTY workings
This will bring the total number of races on the TOTY
Points scheme to a maximum of 14 races in 12 events
(since the National Duathlon and the National
Triathlon Championships have two races : Standard
and Sprint);
An athlete can therefore take part in a maximum of 12
events on the points scheme, or chose to opt out
from any particular race as s/he deems fit;

TOTY Workings
The OVERALL points in the Final Standing

of the TOTY Awards will be worked on the best

This means that any athlete can drop participation

in 3 events without being penalised

If any athlete participate in more than 9 races,
his least-successful points shall be forfeited

(projection)

A system based on placings rather than timings;

Offering a wider spectrum of races to a wider range of

athletes, without damaging the established criteria;

More options to the athletes to choose from;
Easier to calculate the placing of the athlete, especially at
the end of the season;
Follows the criteria established at the International
Triathlon Unions World Triathlon Series;
A fairer benchmark.

Thank you!
