Points

  • Cumulative points for any four events determine the BSG Energade Triathlon Series winner (athletes may choose any four events).
  • If two or more athletes have the same number of points going into the final event, the athlete with the best placing in the final event will be determined the winner.
  • If, for any reason the triathlon is changed to a duathlon, the points for the event will count as per normal.
  • Athletes competing for the Series winner title will have to start the final race - if they have sufficient points from four other races, the final event won’t be taken in to consideration for the Series winner.

Bad Weather Conditions

  • If the weather conditions result in a compromise of safety standards, the triathlon will change to a duathlon.
