Triathlon Series.

There are 7 events in the Triathlon Series. The best 3 results count towards series.
This must include the Eaton Dorney event as a compulsory race.  See end of post for entry details and venues

Points are calculated based on the winning time with the winner receiving 10000 points.
Subsequent results are calculated by dividing the winning time by the recorded time for all other athletes and multiplying the result by 10000 (eg winner 18mins 10000pts, 2nd 18 minutes 36 would receive 9677 points 18 mins divided by 18m 36s x 10000=9677).

There will be 1000 bonus points awarded at Portsmouth OW Triathlon with the in receiving 11000 points. This is to reward to challenge of the open water sea swim.

The series results will be coordinated and calculated by the Junior Series Coordinator. The results will be published on the regional website.

Prizes for the top 3 male and female in each age group will be awarded at the end of the series.
Please look out for an announcement of when the prize giving will be performed. 

Series Rules

The Series is open to anyone who is a member of a Region club, resides or goes to school in the region.

Some individuals will have eligibility for the Series of multiple regions - if you are then you need to decide which Region's Series you are contesting as you are only eligible for one.

• If you are a member of the Triathlon England, then this will be the Region that you registered as your 'Home' region.
• If you are not a member of Triathlon England, then you need to declare by email to the Series coordinator the region that you intend to contest before the Series starts; failure to do so may result in exclusion from the South Central Regional Series if you are found to subsequently contesting in the series of another region.

(This decision is obviously not applicable to athletes who are only eligible to compete in South Central Series).

It is not necessary to be a member of a triathlon club or Triathlon England to participate in the Series.

There is no requirement to register to be included in the Series – the series coordinator will compile based on the results of the races.

If you do wish to compete in the series and you are not a part of a club (Triathlon, Swimming or athletics) or school within the region that you will race in their name, you must notify the series coordinator prior to the event you wish to contest the series. No credit will be given after the publication of the full results.
