Points System:

You accumulate points based on the distance and finish time of each race.
-
How are ITUS points configured?
-
We divide the winning time by runner time and then multiply by the applicable points for that race (e.g. 31 for 50k)
-
Bonus Points: 1st place -10 points; 2nd place -5 points; 3rd place -3 points. 2nd and 3rd place points are calculated on the formula BEFORE adding the bonus points.
