PAYOUTS (AKA “THE MATH, FOR THE CASH”)

Payouts will be based on placing and the distance of the race.

  1. How did you do? Select your base payout:
    • 1st in division - $50
    • 2nd in division - $35
    • 3rd in division - $25
  2. Use the chart below to select the race distance.
  3. Determine your multiplier based on the type of race. Division winners use the standard multiplier.
    Top 3 overall? Your payout just increased! Use the appropriate multiplier.
  4. Multiply the base payout by the multiplier… and collect your CASH!

Example:
An LATC member who earns 1st at a 70.3 (but doesn't place overall) would earn $50 x 1.5 for a total of $75. A member placing 1st in division and 1st age grouper overall at a 70.3 would earn $50 x 4.5 = $225 total payout.
