NZ OCR Development Squad

**Athlete Development Squad**
These general guidelines are to cover the three Subsports Ninja/OCR/Adventure.
Purpose and Overview
The Dev Squads are a larger pool of athletes that are seeking consideration for National Team Selection. The squad is determined to be a wider number of athletes of approximately double the FISO-determined eligible representatives for a World Championship event.

The larger squad promotes training and a competing community at the highest level.

How the NZOSA Leader Board Point System works
The objective is to achieve the lowest point score throughout the year.
Your point score corresponds to your placement in each race. If you don't participate in a race, you automatically receive 20 points which is the maximum amount per race.
The point allocation is as follows:
1st place = 1 point,
2nd place = 2 points,
3rd place = 3 points,
...
19th place = 19 points,
20th place = 20 points
Everyone 21th place and above also receives 20 points.
​
This approach ensures that if there are multiple sanctioned events taking place simultaneously, each event will have competitors earning the same points. This equalises the opportunity for all events and participants. Furthermore, it motivates competitive racers to enter multiple events to try and achieve a placing that lowers their points on the leader board.
All NZOSA sanctioned events carry a value of 20 points. Once you appear on the leader board, you will receive 20 points for every sanctioned OCR event held in NZ. However, upon completing an event, your points earned based on your finishing position will replace the default 20 points for that specific event. For instance, if you only participate in one out of the four events currently under NZOSA's radar, you would accumulate your race position points (e.g., 3rd place = 3 points), along with 60 points from the remaining three races you did not compete in.
This system enables the NZOSA to analyse the numbers in various ways, such as elite, age group, or overall rankings, for the selection of development squads. It is a straightforward system that can be refined as we progress.
