UAE Triathlon League: the rules

Season 2026-27 · The tables

In one line: every proven result scores (finish 10 + placing up to 40 + podium) × how big the race was, and your season is your best 5 results.

Points for a result

Part	Points	Rule
Finish	10	Every finish. A DNF scores nothing.
Placing	0 to 40	Half from the share of your own gender's field you beat, half from the share of your age group you beat. The share beaten is 1 − (place − 1) ÷ finishers. If the race's category is not an age band, or had fewer than 5 finishers of your gender, all of it comes from your gender's field.
Podium	15 / 10 / 6	1st, 2nd, 3rd of your gender overall.
Age-group podium	8 / 5 / 3	Only when there is no overall podium, and only with 5 or more finishers in the category.

Race weight: how many finished

The more people who finish a race, men and women together, the more it is worth, whatever its distance. Each doubling of the field adds 0.15, smoothly, from 0.7 to 1.7.

Finishers	25	50	100	200	400	800	1,600
Weight	0.70	0.85	1.00	1.15	1.30	1.45	1.60

Which results count

Official results, matched to the timer's own sheet, count automatically.
Verified results, read from a screenshot or certificate, count, from races anywhere in the world.
Self-reported results score once you add a results link or a screenshot.
Triathlon only: no relays, team results, duathlons or aquathlons. Adults only.
A result counts whenever it is added: join late in the season and every race of it counts.
When a picture does not show how many finished, the result scores its 10 finish points until we have the race's figure; then it scores in full.

Who is in

Athletes based in the UAE (the country on their account). Results from anywhere in the world count.
A public athlete page, with "Show me in the league" on in Page settings. It is on by default; switch it off any time.
Two tables, men and women. The top 20 of each is public; everyone else sees their own position when signed in.

Season, standings and ties

The season runs 1 September to 31 August; the race date in Dubai decides the season.
Your season is your best 5 results.
The tables update within ten minutes of a new result; the arrows show each athlete's move since Monday's update.
Ties go to the best single result, then more races, then the earlier date of that result.
