Thought I'd share this from Sunshine Coast 70.3, for those with aspirations of 70.3 Qualification for here in Taupo. Maybe add to it as the season goes, would make an interesting reflection, you would expect slots to be at a 'premium' in Australasia, be interested if anybody has similar info for Euro / Americas / Asian events:

Men
75-79 men: one spot. There was one starter so a spot was allocated but he didn’t finish so the spot went to the 45-49 year old men
70-74 men: one spot taken by winner
65-69 men: one spot taken by winner
60-64 men: two spots taken by winner and runner up
55-59 men: 3 spots. One went to roll down so fourth got a spot
50-54 men: 6 spots. Three roll downs then lotto. Ninth got a spot
45-49 men: 9 spots (including the one from the old geezers) Two roll downs so 11th got a spot
40-44 men: 9 spots. All taken on first draw
35-39 men: 10 spots. Went to lotto. 15th got a spot
30-34 men: 7 spots. Two roll downs so 9th got a spot
25-29 men: 5 spots. Three rolldowns. 8th got a spot
18-24 men: 3 spots. All taken on first draw

Women
65-69 had a spot allocated for the one finisher who didn’t take it so it went to 25-29women.
60-64: one general and one wft. One roll down. Third got a spot.
55-59: one general and one wft. Went to winner and runner up
50-54: two general and two wft. Fourth got a spot
45-45: four general and four wft. Five roll downs. 13th got a spot
40-44: four general and four wft. 11th got a spot
35-39: five general and four wft. 12th got a spot
30-34: three general and three wft. 9th got a spot
25-29: four general and four wft. All taken on first draw.
18-24: one general and one wft. Went to winner and runner up.

I did 70.3 Weymouth UK last year, earlier qualifier for Nice, 40 slots and IIRC hardly rolled in any AG.

Expecting it to be very different for Taupo this year; I’m not racing but the wife is and hoping to snaffle one of the WFT slots.

In my experience 70.3 Worlds roll less than they used to. Expecting that trend to continue.

You don't think there'll be as much interest from North America? We're getting mixed messages down here, people say it's thanks giving so people don't wanna travel / it's thanks giving so people wanna travel. Will be interesting if someone can post similar results / uptake of spots.

Good info. What will be the last races you can qualify? On the IM website some races are showing a Taupo qualifier up until September.

Search for Canada 70.3 thread, I posted almost full deets of the roll down there. Just went to Santa Cruz rolldown and it definitely did not go as deep as I expected. One older female AG with 3 finishers rolled to F50-54 and amongst all AGs, only 1 or 2 went past 10th, both on the men's side. Even the 18-24 winners took their slots. Maybe Indian Wells will roll a bit deeper but based on the interest at Santa Cruz, I will bet deeper rolldown doesn't come until Oceanside.

Very interesting reading. Thanks for the information.

Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on why Ironman doesn't just publish this rolldown slot allocation? I can't understand why they make it so secretive...

It's not good for business when there is no interest. Busselton 70.3 in May, anyone that wanted a Nice spot got one. They stopped reading out the names and just said if anyone wants one, come and get it. People that had finished 50th or whatever got a spot. Makes the whole qualifying thing a bit of a farce.

Hey now. And people wonder why WFT needs to exist.

This happened at several US races when it was in CHOO. I saw people finishing 50-75th grabbing roll down spots in some of the men's more popular divisions. In the women's division they were just going on anyone who wanted a slot then time order.

Bottom line if you or anyone wants a slot just make sure you do at least two 70.3 races and go to the slot allocation gig.
