For players
Wetsuit legal or not is the triathlon decision you make in February.
The swim, the bike and the run are described separately, along with the wetsuit and drafting rules and where the cutoffs fall.
Finding one
Three courses, described as three courses.
A race summarised as one distance hides the part that decides your day — an open-water swim in cold water, a bike leg with real climbing, a run in the afternoon heat. Each leg is described on its own so you can judge the race you are actually entering.
Getting in
Entry, wave, transition.
Entry and waiver happen together at checkout. How the race waves its starts is written down before you enter, and the transition layout is published rather than discovered while you are racking at six in the morning.
Before you turn up
What the triathlon you enter has already settled.
Every one of these is decided by the organizer before entries open rather than argued about in week three, and whatever they have settled is on the event page under “What is set” — so you read the rules before you enter, not at the field on the first night.

Nothing here makes you legal. Wetsuit rules, drafting rules and cutoffs are the race's, enforced on the day by their officials — we publish what they set, and what happens on the course is between you and them.
Common Questions
- Are the wetsuit and drafting rules stated before I enter?
- Yes, both are fields the race sets and both appear on the page you register through. The wetsuit rule in particular can change with water temperature on the day, and the race is who announces that.
- How do I know my wave?
- How the race assigns and starts its waves is described on its own page before you enter, along with the per-leg cutoffs where it sets them. The race announces your own wave the way it always has.
- Do I need an account to look around?
- No. Browsing is open to anyone — leagues, clubs, tournaments and races are all readable without signing in. You only need an account to register for something, because a registration has to belong to somebody.
- How does paying work?
- Registering and paying are one step, by card. Where the event asks for a waiver you sign it in the same checkout rather than printing it and carrying it to the field. The money goes to the organizer running the event rather than sitting with us until the season ends.
- What if I do not have a team?
- Races, tournaments and open days take you exactly as you are — one entry, one person. A league season is entered by a team, so instead of registering alone you list yourself as available to play and the teams that are a body short come and find you. Nothing is paid until one of them takes you on.
- What happens if it is already full?
- For a race, a tournament or an open day, a waitlist place confirms itself the moment somebody drops out. A league season queues by team instead, and the side that comes off the queue gets a window to settle the entry before the spot moves on. Where the field is capped by permit, entry may run as a draw with a claim window instead.
- Something went wrong with my registration. Who do I ask?
- The organizer first. They run the event, they can see your registration and they are the one who can change or refund it. If you cannot reach them, we will help — but they are faster, because it is their event.
- What do I keep afterwards?
- One profile carrying every registration, result and standing, across every sport you play here. A season of kickball and a spring half marathon sit in the same place rather than across two organizers and a timing company.
