Points Series

Ohio USCA Points Series

The points competition is intended to promote attendance and competition at the races.  For races with 3 or more entries in a class: 20 points for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd place, and so forth.  For races with just 1 or 2 entries in a class, participants receive 5 points.   At the end of the paddling season, a prize is awarded to the top man and woman paddler, as well as to the paddler who attends the most races.  Only Ohio USCA races count for the points and attendance awards.

How to join?

In order for the USCA to continue to support, promote, and grow paddle sports, we rely on annual membership dues and support from paddlers just like you. Membership is managed at our parent website: uscanoe.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers

What do you need to be eligible to participate and win?

Pretty simple – anyone who participates in one of the Ohio USCA races is eligible.  Points are awarded for each race, and end of season awards go to both the man and the woman with the highest point total, as well as to the paddler who attends in the most races.

What are the rules for the points series?  

For races with 3 or more entries in a class: 20 points for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd place, and so forth.  For races with just 1 or 2 entries in a class, participants receive 5 points.

What happens when there is a tie?

If there is a tie for most points, the first tie-breaker is the number of first-place finishes and the second tie-breaker is the number of races entered.  If still tied, then random draw for the winner.

What if there's a tie in the attendance award?

If there is a tie for the attendance award, the first tie-breaker is the number of first-place finishes and the second tie-breaker is the number of points.  If still tied, then random draw for the winner.
