USAT : The Equation
Top amateur overall finisher's time divided by your time multiplied by 100 percent equals what we call the "raw score." Raw score multiplied by the event factor is equal to the contestant's ranking score. This calculation is done for each event in which an athlete competes. The final USAT score is an average of the three best races completed.
