Changes to the Super League in 2026
We have made some key changes to the TSSL for 2026, including the way the overall Super League standings wrap up at the end of the year. You can read how the original TSSL structure worked by reading this post.
The table below best highlights the changes made:
2026 onward |
✅ There are now age category prizes per race* |
✅ There are now no age category specific prizes within the overall Super League competition. |
✅ The Super League Champions are the top three highest point scorers overall (male and female) in each distance (XL, Long, Short). |
✅ The three junior categories in the short course will be wrapped up into a single Super League Junior Championship (male & female). |
*Category prizes are given ONLY when there are five or more finishers in any given category
The TSSL scoring System:
Points are allocated on your overall position at the finish line – starting with 400 points for the win, and one less for every place behind. If you don’t race, you get zero points for that race.
Points for each of the races are added together, and the runner with the most points wins the TSSL for that distance.
Therefore, to be competitive in the TSSL rankings, participants must complete all races within their chosen distance.
In the event of a tie on points, the winner will be determined by cumulative race times across all events.
No discards. Unlike the traditional Trail Series®, where your worst score could be discarded, the TSSL requires consistency across all events to achieve a high ranking. This system encourages & rewards dedication and consistency.
With thanks to FINISH TIME for their support in creating the results engine that calculates the TSSL in the background!
