GFNY introduces GFNY Rankings
The global rider ranking helps riders reap the benefits of pushing themselves to their personal limit
GFNY is bringing you the all-new GFNY Rankings.
The GFNY Ranking is a global points system that lets you compare yourself to riders worldwide throughout the racing season.
Track your progress, get a motivation boost, and compete for rankings based on your best three race results per year.
You get points based on your finish placement in the long course. Medium course finishes get a flat amount. World and Regional Championship races gets you bonus multipliers.
Rankings are calculated overall and by age group, allowing you to strategize your race calendar, push your limits, and enjoy friendly global competition.
GFNY Rankings will certainly inspire competition for the overall and age group wins. However, more than anything it’s a great tool for absolutely everyone, from first to last. As athletes, we get the most out of our sport if we push ourselves to our individual limit, no matter how far removed from winning the race we may be. GFNY Ranking provides you an incentive to lay it all on the line.
How it works
The best three results per calendar year will be factored into the ranking. If a rider completes more than three races, their next-ranked finishes will be awarded a flat 100 points per long distance finish and a flat 50 points will be added per medium distance finish.
Riders can earn more points at certain key races: GFNY Regional Championships are a 2x multiplier and the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship NYC is a 3x multiplier.
With the top three results counting towards the GFNY Ranking, riders get to pick the best opportunities to put their strengths on display. Additional points for every GFNY finish help accumulating more points and climbing in the rankings.
GFNY Rankings are calculated in two ways: (1) overall, to determine the GFNY series-wide male and female standings, and (2) per age group. Each athlete is ranked both in overall and age group rankings.
