It is not determined in advance, based on totals per age group (starters I believe). Some people post what the breakdowns were after the race, you could search that out in the forum to give you an idea of what a typical 70.3 looks like.

3-4 from M35-49. Just stay at awards. I bet there will be plenty of rolldowns.

The race qualifies you for the current year's WC race -- so this year will be qualifying for 70.3 WC in Australia just over two months later. I expect roll downs will go deep....if you finish the race and want a slot, it'll be yours for the taking.

Next year maybe not so much with the WC race being a few states away in Chattanooga, TN.

Based on last year's finishers (according to athlinks), and with 30 slots, here is what I calculate:

F18-24 1
F25-29 1
F30-34 1
F35-39 2
F40-44 2
F45-49 1
F50-54 1
F55-59 1
F60-64 1
M18-24 1
M25-29 2
M30-34 2
M35-39 2
M40-44 3
M45-49 2
M50-54 2
M55-59 2
M60-64 1
M65-69 1
M70-74 1
