The Southeast Ranking program is one of the most popular aspects of the Southeast Region. Rankings are a way to monitor one athlete's performances against the best in the region.  It also becomes a comparison from one year to the next to see if athletes are improving.

The process for being ranked is simple. One needs to compete in three Southeast Region USA Triathlon-sanctioned triathlons during the season to be included. The only shortfall is the race director who may not submit results in a usable format for our data entry folks to use.

Only races in the Southeast Region (MS, AL, GA, TN, SC and panhandle of Florida) are included and only triathletes from these states are included. The winner of each race is the fastest male and female from the SE region.

Male/female rankings are determined by taking the top male/female finisher's time divided by your time multiplied by 100 and this is called your "raw score."  Raw scores are then multiplied by the contestant's rank.  This calculation is done for each event in which an athlete competes. The final score is an average of the three best races completed.  All races(event factor) are 100 points, championships are 102, 105 or 106 points depending on the race.  Your age is based on the age at last race participated in.
