As was the case in 2016, athletes would be scored on their 5 best performances of which at least 3 must be Triathlons and one of those open water. The remaining two can be made up of either Triathlons, Duathlons and Aquathlons. The scoring system will be the same so points are calculated based on the winning time with the winner receiving 100 points. Subsequent results are calculated by dividing the winning time by the recorded time for all other athletes and multiplying the result by 100 (eg. winner - 1hr 18mins = 100pts, 2nd - 1hr 19 minutes 36sec would receive 97.99 points 78 mins divided by 79.6 mins x 100 = 97.99). To be eligible for prizes at the end of the series, athletes must: -compete as a member of Triathlon England, Triathlon Scotland or Welsh Triathlon. -reside in the North East, or be a member of a North East club. Prizes for the top 3 males and females in each Tristars group will be awarded at the end of the series at the Annual Presentation Event. (Date to be confirmed).
