USA Triathlon takes clean sport and anti-doping very seriously. In accordance with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) regulations, athletes may be drug tested at this event.

The Multisport National Championship Festival will serve as USA Triathlon's Club Championship for 2024.

Scoring will focus on a competitive score (top 10 club scores) and a reward for participation so that every club member contributes to the success of the team.

Participation and Performance-Based Scoring

Each individual athlete will be scored in their respective age group based on their finish among all athletes within their age group in each race. Relay events will not count towards a club team score.

  • 1st place = 10 points
    2nd place = 9 points
    3rd place = 8 points
    4th place = 7 points
    5th place = 6 points
    6th place = 5 points
    7th place = 4 points
    8th place = 3 points
    9th place = 2 point
    10th place = 1 point
  • Top 10 SCORES in the club count toward the club competitive score. Each additional score the club tallies is worth a .25 (1/4) participation point. Top 10 club finisher points are added together along with each participation point for the overall team score.

Tie Breakers: In the case of the tie, each of the tied teams best age group finishers will be counted. The team with the most 1st place finishes will win the tie breaker. If no first-place finishes by either team, the most second place finishes will break the tie, etc.

Only multisport events will be counted towards the team score (excludes open water swim and run only races).

Additional Details

  • All adult clubs will be competing against all other adult clubs and they will not be separated based on gender. Each club member will be scored within their respective category and age group. Since athletes are awarded points based on the place earned in their respective age group and gender, this gives all clubs an opportunity to win, regardless if they are an all-female club, an all-male club or mixed-gender club.
  • Club divisions will not be created or tiered for the club competition. Because only 10 scores are needed to have a team score, and many events are offered at Multisport Festival, all clubs will be on a similar playing field. The participation points will add up and benefit clubs who can bring the most athletes.
  • This scoring system will be used at USA Triathlon Club Nationals and is suggested at USA Triathlon State Championships if another scoring system isn’t currently in place. This scoring system will also be used as a template for other race directors to use if they are wanting to implement a club competition. However, since many of our race directors already have other successful scoring systems, we will not be implementing this at all USAT sanctioned races, RDs still may be creative in their club scoring (i.e., adding in points for volunteering, club spirit, etc.).
  • Since Multisport Festival does include numerous races, each club member can participate in as many races as they would like. Each race they participate in will count as one score in the club competition (for example if Athlete A participates in four races they would count as four scores for the team).
  • All athletes must register under their club’s name prior to the start of the competition. Anyone who does not register under the club may not be counted towards the team score. There may be a chance to update registration with club affiliation at packet pickup but this is not guaranteed. All athletes may only affiliate with one (1) club and the club must be a registered club of USA Triathlon.
  • There is no minimum number of athletes or scores needed to have a good score, but clubs must count 10 total finishes to be eligible for participation in the club competition. One athlete can have multiple age group finishes . For example, a club could bring 10 athletes and each athletes completes one race for a total of 10 scores or a club could bring three athletes and athlete 1 could do three races, athlete 2 could do three races and athlete 3 could do four races.

Awards for Club Nationals

  • 1st – 3rd Overall Club Scores
  • 1st – 3rd Highest Participation
  • 1st – 3rd Top 10 Team Scores
  • Club Spirit Award (1st Place)
