RecPlex Indoor Triathlon & Indoor/Outdoor Triathlon Scoring
Indoor/Outdoor Triathlon Scoring
For the April and October races, scoring is the participants' total time for the set distances.
Indoor Triathlon Scoring
Starting in November 2011, we are changing the scoring for the RecPlex Indoor Triathlons. This change gives equal weight to the swim, the bike, and the run, with your final score a summation of how you did compared to the winner in each of the three sports.
- The swim, bike, and run will each be worth 100 points.
- Male and female with the greatest distance in each event will be awarded 100 points.
- Other participants will be awarded points based on their distance compared to the winner’s distance.
- Final score is swim points + bike points + run points.
For example:
Joyce is the top female finisher on the bike, at 12.6 miles, and is awarded 100 points.
Sharon finished the bike at 10.3 miles, and is awarded points (10.3/12.6 = 0.817 x 100 = 81.7 points.
If Sharon received 92.6 points on the swim, 81.7 points on the bike, and was the top finisher on the run (so 100 points), her final score is 274.3 points.
Note that this change does not impact the Indoor/Outdoor triathlons held in April and October. Those two races will be continue to be based on total time for the set distances.
