RANKING:
How are ranking points collected?
Swimrunners collect points from January 2023 to December 2023 by finishing in the Top 30 of each category (men/women/mixed) at an ÖTILLÖ World Series or an ÖTILLÖ Merit Race team event. The winning teams will earn a maximum of 60 points (ÖTILLÖ World Series) and 30 points (ÖTILLÖ Merit Race) per athlete.
Why is the ranking individual and not team-based?
Earning points on an individual basis allows you to race with different partners throughout the year and always earn points towards your ÖTILLÖ qualification. Previously, people, who raced with different partners always started from scratch in the ranking with each new partner.
How does an athlete qualify for ÖTILLÖ in 2024?
At the beginning of 2024, every athlete in the ranking has the chance to apply with a team partner of their choice. We will add all accumulated points of both partners and create an ÖTILLÖ qualification list, which will be the basis for the invitation to participate at ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship 2024.
Are there no direct qualifications for ÖTILLÖ in 2024 anymore?
Besides the podiums of the World Championship in 2023, there will be no direct qualifications for ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship 2024.
Why are the collected points not appearing in the overall ranking?
Only athletes that used their Swimrun IDs to sign up for the races will be shown in the ranking. If someone does not have a Swimrun ID yet, they can sign up here. If the race organizer does not ask for the ID at registration, the athlete needs to send the ID to the race organizer and all points will be inserted and accumulated by ÖTILLÖ.
What to do if an athlete don’t remember its Swimrun ID?
ÖTILLÖ is happy to assist all swimrunners and let them know their Swimrun IDs (email: info@otilloswimrun.com). It is important that none of the athletes registers for a new ID if they already have one. Athletes with two ID will be shown twice in the ranking.
Is it still possible to qualify for ÖTILLÖ in 2023?
Yes, swimrunner, who still want to qualify for this year’s World Championship, can earn a direct spot at this year’s World Series Races, qualify through a ÖTILLÖ Merit Race (Tier 1), or apply for a Race Director Choice as in the past.
