SCORING
Each athlete competes in all 4 events. The time or distance for each event is measured against
a standard points scoring table and the better the performance the higher the points scored.
The points from each event are added together to give the aggregate points or QuadKids
score for that athlete. If an athlete misses an event or in the case of a race does not finish
they score zero points.
If an athlete completes an event but records a time or distance below the lower end of the
points scale, they receive the minimum 10 point score for that event. If an athlete records a
time or distance above the upper end of the points scale, they will be given the maximum 100
points.
