Qualification & Slot Allocation

Las Vegas Qualification

Sunday, 20 January at 17h00 in the Orient Theatre

The Spec-Savers IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa is offering 30 Age Group Slots for the 2012 IRONMAN World Championship 70.3 in Las Vegas.

Slot Allocation Policy

Prior to race day, at least one slot shall be tentatively allocated to each Age Group category (both male and female). Final slot allocation will be determined on race day based on the number of official starters. If there are no starters in a particular Age Group, then that slot will be moved to the next calculated Age Group within the gender. Final slot allocation shall be representative of the actual number of Age Group starters in each category in the race. For example, if 8% of the Age Group starters are Female 40-44, then 8% of the slots are allocated to the Female 40-44 category. Athletes MUST claim their slot in-person during the designated registration period for the world championship. Please check the Schedule of Events for more information.

Rolldown Policy

At the conclusion of on-site registration for the automatic qualifiers, any unclaimed slots within an Age Group will be rolled down to the next eligible finisher within that Age Group. If an athlete chooses not to take the slot, does not attend the rolldown ceremony or has already qualified, the next eligible finisher in that Age Group may claim the qualifying slot. Following rolldown, any unclaimed slots within an Age Group will be reallocated to another Age Group within the gender based on the athletes-to-slots ratio. The Age Group within the gender with the largest athletes-to-slots ratio will receive the first reallocated slot, followed by the next largest ratio receiving the second re-allocated slot (if applicable), and so on.

The administrative allocation of slots will be executed by the organizers.
