The Leaderboard

The Leaderboard is a series-long point system to help athletes chart their progress and incentivize a season of racing. Points will be accumulated this year during our Des Moines, West Des Moines, Waukee and Johnston races for all athletes. During West Des Moines, points will count for all Juniors, all Intermediates and Seniors who are race age 12 only. Seniors who are race age 13 and older have the opportunity to race the draft-legal race that weekend.

Please note that our Valley View race will NOT count toward Leaderboard points.

This leaderboard reflects the “regular season” showing the athletes top 3 placements out of 4 events.

Rules For Earning Points:

Points are given based on place within age and gender at each event.
Athletes winning their division at a "regular season" event will receive 100 points.
During the "regular season" each place behind first will receive 4 fewer points (2nd-96, 3rd-92, etc).
Athletes who compete in any event are guaranteed a minimum of 50 points for finishing.
The championships race will be worth a total of 125 points for the winner of each division.
At the championships, each place behind first will receive 5 fewer point (2nd-120, 3rd-115, etc).
After the championships we will give an award to the top three athletes from each age and gender.
Athletes top 2 regular season finishes (not including RipRoar Valley View) and their Championship score will be totaled together to get the leaderboard score.
Legends division athletes are not eligible for Leaderboard points.
Any athlete who goes undefeated at all 4 RipRoar regional events and The Championships will be recognized.
RipRoar Valley View will NOT count toward Leaderboard points.
At RipRoar West Des Moines, athletes ages 13 and older will not have their points counted toward the Leaderboard as they have the opportunity to compete in the draft-legal race the next day.
