Welcome to Ironman Rankings 2009

This website will provide a ranking system for the Ironman Series. Only Ironman races will be included, no ironman 70.3 or non WTC iron distance races. It will provide an interesting account of who are the most consistently performing ironman athletes.

Point Allocation

The year will begin with Ironman Florida 2008 and will end at the 2009 Hawaii Ironman World Championships. Bonus points will be allocated for 2008 Hawaii Ironman top 20 finishers to kick off the table. Bonus points will be allocated with 1st gaining 20 points down to 20th receiving 1.
Points will be allocated to other ironman races as follows.

1st 60 points
2nd 30 points
3rd 20 points
4th 15 points
5th through to 10th 10 down to 5 points

However, athletes will have to finish within 10% of the 2nd place getter to gain any points.

Points will be allocated for the 2009 Hawaii Ironman World Championships as follows.

1st 150 points
2nd 100 points
3rd 75 points
4th 60 points
5th 50 points
6th 45 points
7th 40 points
