The Triathlon London League 2008 will consist of the following 7 races (4 triathlons, 3 duathlons/aquathlons):
Confirmed dates and further details will be added as soon as they are available.
Can my club enter the League?
How does my club enter the League?
- All Triathlon England London Region affiliated clubs are AUTOMATICALLY entered in the League (ie. No additional entry fee)
- Kit: Please encourage your athletes to wear club team kit when racing in the League to promote and advertise London's triathlon clubs
How do individual club members enter the races in the League?
- Members from each club must enter the races as individuals under their club name, and we would encourage you to enter events early, before they sell-out
- NO CLUB NAME ON RESULTS SHEET = NO POINTS SCORED
- Individuals pay their own entry fee for each event.
- YOU MUST BE A PAID UP MEMBER OF YOUR TRIATHLON CLUB TO BE ELEGIBLE TO SCORE POINTS FOR YOUR TEAM, and can only race for one London Club in any calendar year.
How does my club score League points?
- Each club's best 3 team results in the series will count towards their final points score and must include 1 triathlon.
- Teams consist of the first 5 athletes from each club to finish which must include one female and one vet (40 ).
- The female can be the vet (ie. a team can have 4 senior men and 1 female vet).
- Teams which fall short of the criteria, but have 4 athletes racing including EITHER a female OR a vet, will pick up the points from the lowest scoring male, female or vet (whichever is missing) in the entire race (ie. not just London club finishers).
- Teams with less than 4 athletes do not score.
- Secondary to the League there will be a "Mob Match" prize for clubs with the highest participation in League events.
What is the scoring system?
- For the League scores, the race winner picks up 1 point, 2nd placed athlete 2 points, etc for the whole race.
- Total points from all 5 athletes gives total points score for the team.
- The winning team (with the lowest points) from each race is then awarded 30 points, 2nd place 29 points, 3rd place 28 points, etc in the league rankings for that race.
- In the event of a tie on points, we will look at the club's fourth race score in the series to act as a tie-breaker, and if necessary fifth, or even sixth.
- Mob match points are calculated in reverse order to the League points, ie. the last finisher in the race receives 1 point, second last receives 2 points, etc.
- Each club's total points for ALL club finishers in the race will be totalled and the highest scoring club in each race is than awarded 30 points, 2nd place 29 points, 3rd place 28 points, etc in the Mob Match rankings for that race.
- League and Mob Match rankings will appear on this website following each event.
