RUSSIALOPPET RANKING REGULATIONS
Russialoppet ranking regulations of the Russian Ski Marathons participants (Russialoppet Ranking) is calculated individually for every finisher in the Russialoppet marathon. The calendar of the Russialoppet ranking includes the main distances for men and women in all the marathons of the series, differing in length, style and the terrain of the course.
The ranking gives an opportunity to every skier who finished the marathon to get points in the Russialoppet ranking of marathon participants. The main goal of the Ranking is to challenge every Russian to ski to pass a ski marathon at least once.
In the 2020 season, the Calendar of the Russialoppet Ranking includes 46 stages. There are 10 international marathons among them which have become associated partners of Russialoppet for the first time. The results at the international stages will also be counted in the overall ranking.
There are separate rankings for men and women. The places and leaders in the Russialoppet Ranking are determined by the sum of 5 best results for the current season and two previous seasons.
PARTICIPANTS
In the Russialoppet Ranking is included athletes who has completed a distance in any marathon during the current season and two previous seasons and reached the age of 17 years by 31.12.2020.*
* the age calculation example of the participant 2001 year of birth: age = 2019 - 2001 = 18 years
RESULTS
The distances specified in the Russialoppet Ranking Calendar bring ranking points for men and women:
- the main distances and satellite distances for men and women are indicated by /;
- satellite distances are the valid distances for 17-18 years groups;
- distances for women that differ from the main distances for men are indicated through *.
The leader of the Ranking is determined by the smallest sum of the Russialoppet ranking points scored in 5 stages during the current season and the two previous seasons.
Finishing participants at the age of 19 years and alder get the racing Russialoppet points according to the formula presented:
where tх - participant’s time, tо - marathon leader’s time, 2800 – race factor, 35 – minimal penalty for mass marathons of FIS calendar.
Finishing participants at the age of 17-18 years get the racing Russialoppet points according to the formula presented:
where tх - participant’s time, tо - marathon leader’s time, 2800 – race factor, 35 – minimal penalty for mass marathons of FIS calendar.
Russialoppet ranking by RL-points is calculated as the average arithmetic mean of the five best (the smallest) racing points of the participant during the current season and two previous seasons.
If the participant has less than 5 results, the Russialoppet rankng points are calculated as follows:
- average arithmetic of 4 russialoppet racing points * 1,1 = RL ranking points
- average arithmetic of 3 russialoppet racing points * 1,2 = RL ranking points
- average arithmetic of 2 russialoppet racing points * 1,3 = RL ranking points
- only 1 russialoppet racing points * 1,4 = RL ranking points
If RL-points between several participants are equal, the leader and subsequent places among them are determined by:
- the largest number of victories in the Russialoppet stages;
- the largest number of second places, third places, etc.;
- in the case of equality for all these indicators, the leader and subsequent places of participants are determined by the best place in the last confrontation race.
