RANKINGS
OVERVIEW
​
Racers earn points by competing in any Midwest Paddle League event. Awards will be given to the Top 5 racers in each division - recognition will be awarded at the final race of the season.
​
How do I qualify? Simple, racers must simply complete more than one (1) event to qualify for season rankings.
​
How does it work? Racers earn points based on their finishing position. Racers will have points from their best five (5) results calculated. Racers who compete in more than 5 events will have lower results replaced.
​
Note, no points will be awarded for the final race of the season - just bragging rights!
