Please click here to download the detail calculation info.

Overall Placing of each league is determined by the sum of the point for long distance and 200m.
If racers have same sum up point (the point for long distance+ the point for 200m), racers with higher score at long distance will get higher overall placing.
Overall point is based on the overall placing of the racers.
The point system is applicable for Asian Open Men/ Asian Open Women/Asian Master O40 Men/Asian Master O40 Women/ Asian Junior Boys/Asian Junior Girls.
Annual Overall Ranking
Annual Overall ranking = 3 personal best scores in overall result from 3 stations
For Annual Overall ranking, AST will automatically use the three best overall results(point) from each individual to calculate the point for annual overall result.
Example 1:
If participant has joined 5 races, AST will pick the three of the best overall results from three leagues to be his/her annual overall results.
Example 2:
If participant has joined 2 races, AST will use the overall results from two leagues to be his/her annual overall results.
If the racers have the same point for annual overall point, then they will share the same placing.
Example 3:
If the annual overall point of a racer A and racer B are both 2500 (2nd higher score in the ranking), then they will both be 2nd place in Asian ranking. Also, they will share the prize money for 2nd place and 3rd place.
