Ontario Masters Points System
Membership
- You must be at least 30yrs old and a current Ontario Masters member to collect points.
- Only races completed after you join count toward your points.
How Points Work
- Points are collected when you race in designated races.
2. Designated races are selected by the Ontario Masters executive and will be posted on the website and/or listed in the newsletters at the beginning of the race season.
- Awarded points are based on your age-adjusted race time compared to the fastest age-adjusted Ontario Master in your gender category (men and women scored separately).
- The race winner gets up to 100 points. Other racers earn points as a percentage behind the leader, using standard age-grading tables.
Race Requirements
1. Every Ontario Masters member who races will receive an age-adjusted points score and will be ranked.
2. Only your best 5 races will be used to calculate your season total, even if you compete in more.
3. At least 2 of your counted races must be long-course. The remaining 3 can be long or short course races (your choice).
4. You must compete in the Ontario Masters Championships and complete at least 2 races there. These races count toward your 5-race total.
Long-Course Definitions
Masters Category: Men aged 30–74 (Groups 1–9) and women aged 30–69 (Groups 1–8)
· Eligible Distances: 25 km or longer
Grand Masters Category: Men aged 75+ (Groups 10+) and women aged 70+ (Groups 9+)
· Eligible Distances: 15 km or longer
Exception: At the Ontario Championships, the long-course distance may be shorter than the standard distances listed above, but it will still count toward fulfilling the long-course requirement.
Single Racer Points Limit
If there is only one Ontario Master competing in a designated race the maximum awarded points will be 96 for that event
Winning
· A male and a female overall winner will be named based on who earns the highest total points. To qualify, racers must meet all Ontario Masters points criteria. This will be presented at the AGM.

Additional Award- Relentless Racer
This award is presented to the skier who completes the most Ontario Masters designated races in a season. If there’s a tie, all tied racers will be recognized. The award is not split by gender; it simply honors the skier(s) who demonstrate the greatest passion for racing and participation. This will be presented at the AGM.
