I would be shocked if you did not punch your ticket to Kona. Well done Andreas! Now fingers crossed that you guys get 5. Having said that at Whistler, the largest age group was only 4

Thanks!

I did an estimation as follows:

  • 2219 STARTERS this am as far as I can see going age group by age group on the live tracker
  • 7 slots I allocated directly to the small ags with less than 15 starters
  • remaining 43 I allocated proportionally eg m50-54 had 185 starters and 185/2219x43 is 3,58. Rounded that to 4
  • the caveat is how wtc handles the roundings

Results of my estimate.
M18-24 1
25-29 1 (was 1,35 so could go to 2)
30-34 4
35-39 5
40-44 8
45-49 5
50-54 4
55-59 2
60-64, 65-69, 70-74 and 75-79 1 each

F18 1
25 1
30 2
35 2
40 3
45 2
50 2
55 1
60 1
65 1

However I think wtc is having some black box equation and no idea exactly how it handles the roundings

Thanks for crunching the numbers best of luck getting a slot. I have been in your shoes, and have had it round in my favor and not in my favor on separate occasions. Marc Roy at sports stats does a a great and fair job.

Again good luck.

Best,
GS

I was talking to Owen (the 2nd place finisher in the AG) last week and he sounded doubtful about taking a spot if he was in a position to take one.

Not really how WTC’s formula works but you’re probably ballpark.

I saw on FB there were 5 slots in your AG. Congrats.

here is what I got from the pic of the slot allocation.
the M78 slot went to 30-34
and seems like there was another slot given to the 40-44 group from one of the older age groups that didn’t have a finisher

M18-24 1
25-29 2
30-34 3
35-39 5 and rolled one
40-44 6
45-49 5
50-54 3
55-59 2
60-64 2
65-69 1,
70-74 1
75-79 1 <–didn’t take it

F18 1
25 2

55 1
60 1

Yes it’s because. The slot allocation is a joke.

Hey. Watch it. One day you’ll all realize that WTC is run by PT Barnum.

Now you ruined it for me, I thought it was run by the great and powerful Oz.

Because the W70-74, W75-79 and W80+ slots rolled back into the gender.

They had 5 slots and one rolled down b/c a guy wasn’t there. So 6th place guy got a slot.
