Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon - 2010

In connection with the USAT Mid-Atlantic Regional Club Championship Program, USAT-MA is pleased to announce the Region's North-South club championship initiative.  Consistent with the longstanding commitment to provide a club championship event to clubs throughout the entire region, we've selected the historic cities of Philadelphia and The Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon to host the 2010 event (June 25-27) and Richmond and the Rocketts Landing Triathlon to host the 2011 event.  These are spectacular race venues strategically located throughout the region and will offer all clubs a first rate championship event in nearer parts of the region.  

The advance selection and announcement of these races allows us to have time to announce this and get as many of you to set your schedules to maximize our club’s participation.  For more information about these races visit:  www.phillytri.comand www.richmondmultisports.comand www.rockettsvillage.com/about-us.asp.  

Scoring
Beginning in 2010, USAT-MA will introduce a new balanced scoring system based upon club size so that like-sized clubs will compete against each other (i.e., big clubs versus big clubs; small clubs versus small clubs).  Clubs will now participate in predetermined Divisions based upon club size, with individuals still scored based on Age Group placement.  This will bring the Mid-Atlantic scoring system more in line with the USAT National system and help ensure a full and fair competition for big and small clubs alike.  Official scoring will be posted on the PHLYTRI website shortly.   

 
Cash Awards

Cash awards totaling $5,000 will be distributed to winning clubs, with $2,500 going to the Large Club Division, and $2,500 going to the Small Club Division.  In each Division, the Club Champion winning team will receive $1,250.  The remaining purse will be awarded as follows:  $750 for the 2nd place club, and $500 for 3rd place.

 
In past years, the PHLYTRI has had its own Club Championship Programs.  The USAT-MA Regional Club Championship will replace the PHLYTRI Club Challenge Competition.  For more Club program information, please visit http://www.phillytri.com/eventinfo/clubs.php.
