Section 6: Scoring
6.1 Timing and Rankings
All times are recorded electronically to 1/100th of a second. The final ranking is determined by the cumulative total time across all completed runs. Times equal to 1/100th of a second are given the same rank (Art. 10.6.15).
6.2 Split Times
In addition to start and finish times, four intermediate times are recorded along the track, the first being the 50 m start time (Art. 10.6.14). These help analysts assess where time is gained or lost and are broadcast to spectators in real-time.
6.3 Tie-Breaking
Times equal to 1/100th of a second are given the same rank; ties are not broken (Art. 10.6.15).
6.4 World Cup Points
In the IBSF World Cup circuit, crews earn points based on finishing position (1st = 225 points, 2nd = 210, 3rd = 200, descending) (Art. 11.3). Cumulative World Cup points determine the overall season standings. From 2026, a team that does not finish the second World Cup heat receives at least the points for 20th place (Art. 11.3).
