## The easiest way to track triathlon standings

Whether it is a sprint series, Olympic distance league, or Ironman club, Simple Standings tracks championship points, races completed, and wins — then share the leaderboard with your tri club. It does more than the table, too: tick Schedule to add games with dates, times, and venues that visitors can filter by team, and Statistics to track events entered, wins, and best results. Enable any combination — all three sit on the same shareable link.

## How triathlon standings work

Triathlon series usually score each race in one of two ways. **Place points** give a set number of points by finishing place in each age group. **Time-based points** score each athlete as a percentage of the winner’s time: the winner gets 1,000, and someone who took 10% longer gets about 909. Time-based scoring rewards racing hard to the line even when the podium is out of reach.

Standings are almost always kept by **age group and gender**, and most series count a **best few** races so missing one is not fatal.

## A worked example

Five athletes in one age group, three races, time-based points, best two count:

| Athlete | R1 | R2 | R3 | Races | Wins | PTS |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Lee | 941 | 987 | 1000 | 3 | 1 | 1987 |
| Kim | 978 | 1000 | 951 | 3 | 1 | 1978 |
| Jo | 1000 | 962 |  | 2 | 1 | 1962 |
| Mo | 955 | 930 | 968 | 3 | 0 | 1923 |
| Nat | 902 | 915 | 934 | 3 | 0 | 1849 |

Time-based points, worked out: if the winner finished in 1:05:00 (3,900 seconds) and you finished in 1:11:30 (4,290 seconds), you score 3,900 ÷ 4,290 × 1,000 = 909.

Jo raced twice and won once, and with best-two scoring she is only 25 points off the lead. Lee’s weaker first race is the one that does not count.

## Common triathlon tiebreakers

When athletes finish level, these are applied in order until the tie is broken:

1. **Most race wins.**
2. **Head-to-head** in races both athletes started.
3. **Result in the final race.**

## How triathlon seasons are scheduled

- **A summer race series**, often mixing sprint and standard distances.
- **Club time trials** — short weekly swims, rides or runs — scored as a series of their own.
- **Age-group categories** in five-year bands, each a separate table.

## Setting up triathlon standings in Simple Standings

Pick Triathlon when you create a league and the standings start with PTS, Races, and Wins. New triathlon leagues sort by PTS. Every column can be renamed, removed, or added to. A computed column can read every typed-in column, plus any computed column to its left.

Type each race’s points with Add to totals, or keep a column per race and a computed total. The preset is PTS, Races and Wins, sorted by points.

One league per age group keeps each table short. Duplicate a league to set up the next category with the same columns.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I create triathlon standings?

Sign up for a free account, click "Create new", choose your columns (wins, losses, points, etc.), add your athletes, and type in the data. No spreadsheets or imports needed.

### Can I share my triathlon standings with others?

Yes. Every standings you create gets a unique shareable link. Anyone with the link can view the standings — no account required.

### Can I make a triathlon schedule too?

Yes. Check Schedule when creating and add games with dates, times, venues, and scores. Visitors can filter the schedule by team or venue, so each athlete sees only their own games.

### Can I track triathlon stats?

Yes. Check Statistics when creating and you get a stats table with the columns already prefilled for triathlon — events entered, wins, and best results. Add computed columns for anything you work out with a formula, and sort by whichever column matters.

### Is Simple Standings free for triathlon leagues?

Free — standings, schedule, and statistics with no team limits, no game caps, and a public share link included. Public pages carry ads, which is what pays for it; a one-time $9.99 USD removes them from a league, with no subscription and no renewal.

### Do triathlon scores automatically update the standings?

Only if you want them to. Typing the table in yourself is the default, and it is what most leagues stick with — no syncing, no broken formulas. You can also enter one game at a time and let it do the arithmetic, report a score and have the standings update themselves, or keep a full box score for each game that updates the standings and every player's totals at once.
