The Points

How does the points system work?

Points are allocated for participation and performance as noted below:

Participation Points

• 5% of club members race and finish = 15 participation points
• 10% of club members race and finish = 30 participation points
• 20% of club members race and finish = 45 participation points

Participation Point Rules

• A clubs membership number is calculated as the number of members aged 12+ from the end of the May 31 of the previous season.
• If 5%, 10% or 20% of a clubs membership is not a whole number, the required participant amount is rounded to the nearest whole number e.g 10% of a 64 member club = 6.4 members – therefore the club requires 6 members to race and finish for 6 points. 10% of a 67 member club = 6.7 members – therefore the club requires 7 members to race and finish for 6 points.
• Smaller clubs with less than 20 members will be measured for participation points as if they are a club of 20 members.
• If a clubs required participation is calculated as one member for  both 5% and 10%, an extra required participant is added to the 10% requirement, meaning they would need two participants.
• Athletes who compete at two distances over an event weekend e.g. Sprint Duathlon on Saturday, Standard Triathlon on Sunday will count twice towards their Clubs Participation Point tally.

Performance points

Performance points are awarded to the top 10 athletes from each age group division and gender as per the table below:

Athletes who compete at two distances over an event weekend e.g. Sprint Duathlon on Saturday, Standard Triathlon on Sunday, can score Performance Points in both.

If a club race is used for interclub league, age group point scoring categories will be discussed and agreed to with those leagues prior to each round.

Max Out

Clubs can earn a maximum of 150 points at each event of the Interclub League.

This point equalisation strategy will be implemented to allow clubs of varying sizes to compete against each other.
