ITC Club Point Score Update
|
|
The ITC Club Point Score saw a lot of movement in December with some club regulars rocketing up the age group and overall rankings. Those who marshalled in previous races have shot up the table upon receiving their first performance points of the season and a few consistent racers have seen their scores topping out the leaderboard.
The January to March period could see a big upset in the rankings as the number of races contributing to the Point Score increases during peak race season. The first external race with participation points (10 per event) will be Aquathon on January 26th, but with Big Husky coming up and Splash Aquathon in March and five more club races left in the season there's still everything to play for.
To see a full listing and stay up-to-date on the Point Score see our website.
And don't forget, it's not too late to enter the Wollongong Aquathon to earn points towards the club point score total. Check out the offer below.
