Scoring

Every event will be worth up to 100 points, and athletes earn points based on their finish (see chart). After Stage 1 (Sept. 18-19), the field will be cut to five athletes and the scores will be reset for the Final Stage (Oct. 23-25). At the end of the Final Stage, the athlete with the most points is the winner. Athletes who tie receive the same number of points. If athletes fail to complete an event within the time cap (for timed events), their score will be capped, and they will receive a 1-second penalty for each rep not completed.
