Scoring system and standings
Your ranking position per competition is determined by a percentage calculated against the last season’s world record for your age category and the specific distance you skated. As a bonus, you receive a substantial 75 points for breaking a world record.
For each race, you can compete in two distances: the 500m plus either the 1000m, 1500m, 3km, or 5km. Points are awarded based on the distance where you skated closest to the world record. During the final race, the points earned are multiplied by 1.5. This creates a competition between sprinters and long-distance skaters, as well as a contest across all age categories.
