Qualifying Slots

To accept a slot to the VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, qualified athletes must claim their slot in-person at the Rolldown Ceremony at the advertised time and location, as detailed in the event guide. Photo ID is required to be presented and payment must be made at this point in time.

How does the Age Group Slot Allocation Work?​

“Age Group” refers to a grouping of athlete peers based on their gender and age range. For example, ‘Male 25-29’ is one Age Group, and ‘Female 25-29’ is another. Your Age Group is determined by your age as at December 31 of the year of the event. For example, if you are Male and turn 25 in 2023 then your Age Group Category for any race in 2023 is M25 – 29. 

The Slot Allocation Process

• Before Race Day

  • Each Age Group with registered athletes is tentatively allocated one slot each (an “Initially Allocated Slot”)​

  • All other slots available for the race (the “Proportionally Allocated Slots”) are not allocated until race day​

• On Race Day​

  • If there are no starters in an Age Group, then that Age Group’s Initially Allocated Slot is removed and pooled with the Proportionally Allocated Slot​

  • The Proportionally Allocated Slots are then distributed among all Age Groups based on the number of starters in each Age Group. This allocation is based on the ratio of athletes in each Age Group across both the male and female categories, ie, the more athletes in an Age Group, the more slot allocations they receive

• After the Race

  • Before Roll Down
    If there are no finishers in an Age Group that had one or more starters, then the Initially Allocated Slot for that Age Group is re-allocated, within the same gender, to the Age Group with the highest ratio of starters to slots​

  • During Roll Down
    If any slot allocated to an Age Group is unclaimed (after Roll Down for that Age Group is completed), then that unclaimed slot is re-allocated, within the same gender, to the Age Group with the highest ratio of starters to slots​
