Scoring system

The Big 6 competitors will be ranked by using the “percentage of Winning time” formula, as used by many sporting disciplines.

Athletes will be scored in each race by using the finish time of the quickest Big 6 race finisher, per gender, and dividing their own finish time by the winning time. The race winner will therefore score 100 points*** for winning an event. Scores for each race will then be added up and the highest total scores will determine the final podium finishers per gender.

*Competitors must finish the full distance for the timed result to be counted.

**Tie-breaking Rules:

• Number of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th then 5th place finishes. If still a tie:
• Most recent result.

***100 points is the maximum amount of points that can be obtained per event i.e. 100 = 1st place for that event
