HOW ARE INITIAL RANK SCORES DETERMINED?

Initial rank scores are determined by placements in Obstacle Academy competitions in the 2023/24 season. Iron and Gold ranks are given out to everyone based on those scores

​

HOW DO RANK SCORES CHANGE EACH COMPETITION?

Rank Scores change each competition based on how differently each athlete placed in relation to their Rank Scores before the competition. If the athlete with the highest Rank Score places relatively low, their Rank Score will drop significantly. If an athlete with the lowest Rank Score wins, their Rank Score will go up significantly.

​​

• Low Rank Score + low placement = small raise in in Rank Score

• Low Rank Score + high placement = raise in Rank Score

• High Rank Score + low placement = drop in Rank Score

• High Rank Score + high placement = small raise in Rank Score
