Scoring
The scoring system is based on that of the british triathlon national ranking series:
The calculation is based on the competitor at (in this case) 40th percentile position in the field (i.e 39% of the field finish in front and 59% of the field finish behind) who is awarded 100 points.

Thus, in an event with 300 members, the 40th percentile position would be 120. If their time is called T40 and your time is Tx their ranking points are calculated as: 100 x (T40 / Tx)

for example - in a race with a T40 of 90 minutes points would be awarded as follows:
Competitor A - finishing time of 60 minutes - ranking points are 100 X 90/60 = 150
Competitor B - finishing time of 80 minutes - ranking points are 100 x 90/80 = 113
Competitor X - finishing time of 90 minutes (40th percentile) - ranking points are 100 x 90/90 = 100
Competitor C - finishing time of 120 minutes - ranking points are 100 x 90/120 = 75

We will use the 40th percentile for all races with the exception of Derby triathlon where points shall be based on the 10th percentile. This reflects the number of first timers competing in a pool triathlon.

Presentation
All prize presentations will be made directly after the final  event, this being Carsington Duathlon on October 3rd. Any prize winners not present at this event will be sent their prize within 2 weeks of this date.
