• Super Veteran (50+)
• Open (14+)

^ Juniors will earn points in the Enticer event only
#Juniors who participate in the Sprint will only earn points in the Senior category. There will be no Junior category in the Sprint. The reason for this is to discourage younger athletes from competing in longer distances at too young an age, as per Triathlon Australia recommendation.

POINTS SCORE

Participants in the State Series not only compete for line honours but for valuable points in the 2020/21 State Series Points Score, which determines our State Series Champions across the categories. Points are calculated on the longest distance of each State Series meet. This season Juniors will be encouraged to compete in the Enticer distance where they will earn points. 

Only the 3 best point scores will count towards athletes’ overall Series score. 

Age for inclusion within a category is taken as at 31 December 2020.
