Series Awards & Points:
Series awards are given 5 deep to all categories except male and female overall and male and female master overall, which are 3 deep. The series points system gives the average time for each event 100 points (110 for Tri-Miami Olympic Distance and the Championship event at Tradition). Your points will be the average time (in seconds) multiplied by 100, then divided by your time (in seconds). If you are faster than the average time, then you will have more than 100 points. This allows us to get a consistent points system that isn't affected by the number of participants in a particular event or by the time of the overall winner, which can vary greatly depending on who shows up.
If you race in multiple categories throughout the series, your series points will apply to the hardest category that you raced in. The categories from hardest to easiest are: (Elite-only qualifies for Overall awards, Age Group, Clydesdale 185, Clydesdale 200, Clydesdale 225, Athena, Fat Tire).
For the Publix Family Fitness Weekend Florida Series (triathlon or duathlon), consisting of 9 events in Florida, athletes must participate in at least 4 events in the series to qualify for the series awards, regardless of their points standings. Each athlete's highest 4 point scores from the individual events will count towards their series total. No bonus points are awarded for completing more than 4 races, but since only your 4 highest point totals are used, your standings are generally better the more events that you compete in. A 500 point bonus will be awarded once the 4th race is completed.
