Series Championship

We have over 500 medals up for grabs every season!

To be eligible for end of season medals you must have participated in a minimum of 12 of the possible 16 events in the same event option / distance. If you participate in more than 12 events in one event option / distance, your best 12 results will be included in your final points tally.

The points from your 12 best results will be added together and those athletes with the highest point totals at the end of the Series will place in their respective age groups. You must take part in the final event of the season to be eligible – Tuesday March 14

It doesn’t matter whether you have entered your 12 or more events through a Series Pass or individual registrations, as long as your name and date of birth are the same across the individual event registrations, your points will be collated.

The age group category that a Series participant is automatically entered into will be determined by their age as at THE FIRST EVENT IN THE SERIES

In the case of two participants having equal maximum points, the winner will be decided as follows;

  • If at any time during the Series the two tied participants have competed in the same event, the winner will be the participant who has the biggest average winning margin over the other

HOW ARE EVENT POINTS CALCULATED?

Event points are allocated based on where you finished relative to the winner in your age group – first placed male and female athletes in each of the age categories receive the full 100 points, and then subsequent swimmers are awarded points as a percentage of the winner’s time.

Eg. the swimmer who wins the 40-49yr women age group will receive the full 100 points. If the next athlete in this 40-49yr age group crosses the finish line directly after them they will receive a point figure close to 100 (eg. 97points) however if this second swimmer finishes further back from the winning athlete they would not receive as many points (eg. 70points).

SERIES COMPETITION AGE GROUP CATEGORIES

Under 15, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80 & OVER

A participant’s Series Competition age group category is determined by their age as at November 8 (the date of the first event of the Series)

This means that any athletes who have a birthday within the summer season will remain in their original age group for the Series Competition and will earn their Series points based on where they finish compared to others within this Series Competition age group.
