SCORING & POINTS BREAKDOWN
Scoring for each event will be as follows:
| INDIVIDUAL EVENT | RELAY EVENT | SKINS RACE | |
| 1st | 9 | 18 | 27 |
| 2nd | 7 | 14 | 21 |
| 3rd | 6 | 12 | 12 |
| 4th | 5 | 10 | 10 |
| 5th | 4 | 8 | 4 |
| 6th | 3 | 6 | 3 |
| 7th | 2 | 4 | 2 |
| 8th | 1 | 2 | 1 |
Relays count for double, and skins races effectively triple if you make it to the third round; if eliminated in the second round, an athlete earns double points, but if knocked out in the first round, the point totals are the same as a normal race.
PRIZE MONEY FORMAT
Athletes and relays earn money for top-4 finishes under the following system, which we’ve simplified based on the ISL ‘money point’ system:
Regular season:
| INDIVIDUAL EVENT | RELAY | SKINS | |
| 1st | $1,800 | $900 | $5,400 |
| 2nd | $1,200 | $600 | $3,600 |
| 3rd | $600 | $300 | $1,800 |
| 4th | $300 | $150 | $900 |
