The Series

You do not have to do all three events. You can enter any of the events but if you enter and complete all three events as a series, you will be in line for a series place. That is each finisher is allocated points in their category – 20 for 1st, 19 for 2nd, 18 for 3rd etc. At the end of the third event the points are added up to ascertain who was 1st, 2nd & 3rd overall. These places will be recognised in each category. In the event of a tie for a place then it will be awarded on the result of Event 3. Series entrants will also receive a certificate with each event's finishing times and places. There will be spot prizes for series entrants only - (each event will also have spot prizes for all participants).
To qualify for the series you must enter all three events (same category) on or before the 21st November 2011 and then complete each event! Teams must retain the same members to be eligible for series points.
