The Rules
The open and female categories will be scored separately and will remain the same as in previous years. 50 points for first club finisher, 45 for second, 40 for third, 39 for fourth, 38 for fifth, 37 for sixth and so on plus points for age group finish position in the whole race. If you finish 1st in your triathlon age group you get 40 – 1 = 39 points. If you finish 2nd in your age group you get 40 -2 = 38 points and so on. If you are 40th or below in age group you get 1 point. Triathlon age groups are usually in 5 year bands but we will use the categories published in the official race results. For each member their 3 best scores from events will count. This scoring system deliberately favours participation, the more events you compete in the better chance you have of winning.
2025 Club Grand Prix Final Standings
The competition for the top three places was finally decided at the Fleetwood Sprint Tri on 21st September, where we had 12 senior members taking part. It was each person’s best 4 results that counted towards the final standings. The Women’s competition went to the wire with Ella doing her 4th event and going ahead of Claire by just 3 points. Both came first in their age groups. Congratulations also to Steve and Karl, winner and runner-up in the Men’s competition
