2013 PoinTS SYSTEM
There were three levels included in the rankings:
ITU Triathlon World Cup events, ITU World Triathlon
Series events and the ITU World Triathlon Grand
Final. The chart below breaks down the scoring.
The final ranking was obtained by adding the four top
scores from the ITU World Triathlon Series and ITU
Triathlon World Cup events, plus the points gained
at the Grand Final. Scoring for a season begins
immediately after the Grand Final and ends with the
following year's Grand Final. Points are awarded to
the top 50 athletes at the Grand Final; top 40 for
World Championship Series events and top 30 for
ITU Triathlon World Cup events. The top five places
at each type of event are scored as follows (the full
breakdown is available at www.triathlon.org).
