BST 2025 Annual Ranking Rules

For the 2025 BST annual rankings, BST has decided to deviate from the complex ISA points
system. The following changes will apply in 2025:

Scoring System

The rankings will be based on the Small Point System, where the competitor with the
fewest points wins. The point allocation is as follows:

  • 1st place → 1 point
  • 2nd place → 2 points
  • 3rd place → 3 points
  • Each subsequent place → +1 additional point
  • DNS (Did Not Start) / DNF (Did Not Finish) / DSQ (Disqualified) → Total number ofcompetitors registered for that competition +1 point
Best Results Count

From the total 8 BST competitions, only the 5 best results (lowest scores) will be counted
in the final ranking:

    • After 4 races: The worst score is dropped.
    • After 6 races: The two worst scores are dropped.
    • After 8 races: The three worst scores are dropped.

    Aborted Races (Partial Abandonment)

    If a race is aborted for a part of the competitors, those who were ordered to leave the water
    will receive one point more than the last competitor who managed to finish the race.

    Aborted Races (Full Abandonment)

    If a race is aborted for all competitors, all participants in the race will be assigned the
    same finishing position and points. If a competitor received a time penalty before the race
    was stopped, this penalty time will be added to their recorded time at the point of race
    termination.

    Medal Race for Age Categories (Kids & Cadets)

    If a separate medal race is not held for specific age categories (Kids, Cadets), the ranking
    will be extracted from the OPEN ranking, excluding competitors who do not belong to the
    given age category.
    Example:
    5 Cadets compete in an Open category race with 35 participants. The Cadet rankings are then assigned as follows:

    • C1st/Open 3rd → 1 point
    • C2nd/Open 10th → 2 points
    • C3rd/Open 17th → 3 points
    • C4th/Open 22nd → 4 points
    • C5th/Open DNF/DSQ → 6 points
    Tie-breaker Rules


    In case of a tie in the total points for places 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, the ranking will be determined
    as follows:

    1. The competitor with the lower ranking (better placement) in the most recent race
      will be ranked higher.
    2. If this does not resolve the tie, the last direct duel (head-to-head result) between
      the tied competitors will be considered.
    3. If the tie persists, the most recent race result will be used to determine the final
      ranking.
    Final Ranking Announcement

    The final BST annual ranking will be announced on Sunday, December 14, 2025, after the
    last race of the year: SUP4Life in Ghent.
