Triathlon London League

The Triathlon London League started in 2006. It is a series of races each season — duathlons, aquathlons and triathlons — organised by clubs in the London area. At each race points can be gained by club members towards a team total in each race, then points gained by each team (club) in each race are used to determine the club position in the league.

All London clubs are automatically entered into the league and teams do not have to be registered in advance. All you need to do is enter the race(s) as normal and the best placed men, women and vets from Serpentine make up our team in each race. Please wear club kit if possible so that you know who your team-mates are and so other clubs can see who we are. We would like to have a good Serpie team competing in every race.

2012 Races

These are the races in the 2012 series:

At the end of the 2012 series, it was very close, and after a count-back, Serpentine came 3rd in the both league and the mob-match.

How does Serpentine score League points?

• Each club's best FOUR team results in the series will count towards their final points score and must include 1 triathlon.
• Teams consist of the first 5 athletes from each club to finish which must include one female and one vet (40+).
• The female can be the vet (ie. a team can have 4 senior men and 1 female vet).
• Teams which fall short of the criteria, but have 4 athletes racing including EITHER a female OR a vet, will pick up the points from the lowest scoring male, female or vet (whichever is missing) in the entire race (ie. not just London club finishers).
• Teams with less than 4 athletes do not score.
• Secondary to the League there will be a "Mob Match" prize for clubs with the highest participation in League events.

What is the scoring system?

• For the League scores, the race winner picks up 1 point, 2nd placed athlete 2 points, etc for the whole race.
• Total points from all 5 athletes gives total points score for the team.
• The winning team (with the lowest points) from each race is then awarded 30 points, 2nd place 29 points, 3rd place 28 points, etc in the league rankings for that race.
• In the event of a tie on points, we will look at each club's mob match score in the series to act as a tie-breaker.
• If points are tied on both League and mob match scores, then we will look at each club's fourth race score in the series, and if necessary fifth, or even sixth.
• Mob match points are calculated in reverse order to the League points, ie. the last finisher in the race receives 1 point, second last receives 2 points, etc.
• Each club's total points for ALL club finishers in the race will be totalled and the highest scoring club in each race is than awarded 30 points, 2nd place 29 points, 3rd place 28 points, etc in the Mob Match rankings for that race.
• League and Mob Match rankings will appear on this website following each event.
