Fitness competitions score each event by ranking the athletes, then turn ranks into standings in one of two ways. Placement scoring adds each athlete’s place across all events, and the lowest total wins — simple and fair for small throwdowns. Points tables give points for each place (100 for first, fewer for each place behind), and the highest total wins.
Many workouts also record a tiebreak time — the time at which an athlete finished a set part of the workout — so ties inside an event can be separated. Scaled and Rx divisions, and teams, are ranked separately.
