Triathlon NSW Club Championships 2014
Information below regarding up coming NSW Club Championships. We have talked about doing this as a club for many years-is this the year? Contact Steve or comment if interested.
Triathlon NSW is pleased to announce the 2013 Triathlon NSW Club Championships will be held on Saturday 5th April 2014 at the beautiful Mid North Coast town of Forster. This year we also have a junior participation event – an aquathon on the beach. This does not contribute to the overall Club point score.
The point system will be very similar to the system last year.
We will recognise winners of the City based and Country based Clubs. The overall Champion Club will be awarded to the Club with the highest point-score. Irrespective of which division the Club sits in.
The ‘City’ region is defined by the area bound by the Hawkesbury River to the north, the Nepean River to the West and the southern boundaries of Sutherland Shire and Campbelltown Shire. Country is everything outside of that.
We recognise that not all Clubs are of equal size so again will award 3 Divisional Winners. The Clubs to compete in each division have been determined based on the number of Club Members (and number of TA members) as at 4 January 2014.
Triathlon NSW welcomes all affiliated Clubs from NSW and the ACT, and all their members, be they Competitors, Volunteers, Marshals, TO’s, that will maintain the tradition of this premier Club based event on the NSW Triathlon Club Calendar.

NSW Club Championships 2014
The POINTS SCORE FOR 2014 will be calculated as follows:
PERFORMANCE POINTS
In each age category performance points will be allocated;
1st place 30 points,
2nd place 29 points,
3rd place 28 points
down to 30th place 1 point.
Only the first competitor from each Club scores performance points.
The 2nd and subsequent athlete from each Club “blocks” the performance points available to other clubs.
PARTICIPATION POINTS
Competitors – 1 point per club member who enters and completes the event. (No limit)
Technical Officials – 10 points per TO from a Club – Max 30 points (3 TO’s) Note that to be eligible a TO must have officiated at a minimum of 3 events during the 2013-14 season.
Bike Course Marshals – 2 points per Marshall – Max 30 points (15 Marshals)
Volunteers – 1 point per volunteer – Max 15 points (15 Volunteers)
Section Manager – 10 points per section Manager – Max 20 points (2 Managers)
IMPORTANT NOTE: an individual member may only earn Participation Points in one category only. Eg. a competitor who will earn a point for completing the event, CANNOT earn points as a Volunteer or Section Manager.
To be eligible to be awarded the overall Club Champion or Divisional Champion a Club must have provide a minimum number of Volunteers which can include Marshalls , TO’s and Section Managers. The minimum number will be based on the Division in which the Club competes and will be:
Division 1: minimum 12 Volunteers
Division 2: minimum 8 Volunteers
Division 3: minimum 4 Volunteers
Triathletes with a Disability:
Triathletes with a disability are welcome to participate in the Club Champs. At this stage they will participate in their relative Age Group Category. Because of physical constraints the course is not suitable for those who compete in a Wheelchair.
The Winning Clubs will be determined by calculating the sum of all the performance points and participation points scored by members of each club.
