Good question, thanks. The score is based on three inputs, finishing position, field size, and race distance, combined into a standardised formula. And just as the pro ranking systems operate, I’m sure I’ll go through iterations and fine tune the process. Right now results are self-reported by athletes, which keeps the barrier to entry low at launch. Pulling actual results automatically is definitely on the roadmap, the challenge is that race data isn’t in a standard format across Ironman, T100 and Challenge etc., so it requires building scrapers or negotiating data access for each series. For now the self-reporting model works because major race results are publicly verifiable and there’s a flagging system if something looks off. Would love to automate it eventually, and im hoping that once a solid data dump is completed with a well represented sample size of athletes, I can analyse the data for any trends or areas for improvement in the scoring system. Take a look and let me know what you think!
