Create a time trial with 16 participants – multiple runs and fair scoring based on the average.
Free forever in demo mode. No credit card.
In this time trial, 16 participants complete several runs – 3 rounds are recommended. The ranking is based on the average of all recorded times: not the fastest run and not the sum, but the mean decides, so individual outliers up or down have less impact. The format rewards even performance across all attempts. As in any time trial, the 16 participants never face each other directly – everyone races against the clock on their own, and the ranking comes from the averaged times.
Average scoring differs from the other time-trial variants in that the mean of all 3 runs counts – outliers up or down are cushioned as a result.
| Aspect | Rule |
|---|---|
| Runs per participant | Several runs (3 recommended) |
| What counts | Average (mean) of all times |
| Ranking order | Ascending by average time – the lowest mean leads |
| Tiebreaker | Better single time decides |
| Outliers | Cushioned by the averaging – no drop result |
How long the time trial with 16 participants takes depends on the number of parallel lanes and the run duration. Because the average needs several runs, the pure running time adds up across all rounds – plan extra time for start intervals, timing and breaks.
| Lanes | 10 min/run | 15 min/run | 20 min/run |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 lanes | 4 h | 6 h | 8 h |
| 3 lanes | 2 h 40 min | 4 h | 5 h 20 min |
| 4 lanes | 2 h | 3 h | 4 h |

Average scoring fits wherever even performance matters: with 16 participants the mean of several runs is scored – ideal for technical, youth and training competitions where a single outlier should not decide everything. That way steady form across the whole event counts, and a lucky or unlucky run barely distorts the result.

Each participant completes multiple runs, and the ranking is based on the average of all recorded times.
Because it smooths out outliers and highlights consistently strong performances.
At least two runs make sense. With more runs, the average becomes even more meaningful.
Ideal for formats where consistency across several attempts should be rewarded, such as technical or youth competitions.
It depends on the number of parallel lanes. With 16 participants and 3 runs each, the pure running time is around 6 h on 2 lanes and about 3 h on 4 lanes – each excluding start breaks.
If two participants share the same average, the better single time decides.
