US National Series (Age Group) Point System

All races are scored using a 1,000-point system. Points are assigned based on an athlete's final place and their gender, within their specified age group category. 

Points are calculated using the following formula. 

1st Place Age Group Finishers Time (Minutes)/Your Finish Time (Minutes) x 1000 = Total Points Score

Example:

  • 1st Place Age Group Time - 60:00 Minutes
  • Your Time - 72:00 Minutes
  • 60/72 x 1000 = 833 Points

Competitors ranked below 1,000 places in their Age Group will not earn any points.
