Qualifying for the SkyMasters Finals

José Gómez writing a nice recap of ‘Beast’ on the blog for Marató Dels Dements:

With a genuine North American atmosphere, from the athlete presentation and the lakeside forest campground setting to the traditional Jäger shot at the summit of Mount Ellinor and the vibrant pre- and post-race activities, the event extended throughout the weekend with two races…

It really was, it really was… oh my, what a weekend we had.

But, what I wanted to point toward is José’s summary of Skyrunner World Series standings:

It is important to remember that the standings of already qualified athletes are still relative, as they depend on participation in the remaining six races and on whether results can still be improved.

This is sort of the – much overlooked – heart of the Skyrunner World Series. A standings table where points are accumulated based on each race and participation in a certain number of events ensures access to the Finals.

José also keeps an updated table of the overall standings (see the bottom of the blog post).
