Create a combined time trial with 24 participants – multiple runs, every valid time counts.

In a combined time trial, 24 participants complete several scored runs – 3 runs are recommended, but the count is configurable. Valid run times are added; DNF, DSQ and runs without a time are ignored. The lowest sum of valid times ranks first.
Names and results in the diagram are made-up examples.
With 24 participants and 3 runs each, there are 72 runs in total (24 × 3).
Combined scoring adds valid run times; DNF, DSQ and missing times are ignored. 3 runs are recommended for this example, but the count is configurable; the lowest valid total decides.
| Aspect | Rule |
|---|---|
| Runs per participant | Several runs (3 recommended, configurable) |
| What counts | Sum of valid run times; DNF/DSQ/no time are ignored |
| Ranking order | Ascending by total time – the lowest sum leads |
| Tiebreaker | Equal totals share a place; the next place follows competition ranking (for example, 1, 1, 3) |
| Missed run | DNF, DSQ and missing times are excluded; one valid time is enough |
How long the combined time trial with 24 participants takes depends on the number of parallel lanes and the run duration. The scheduled runs determine the pure running time across several attempts – plan extra time for start intervals, timing and breaks.
| Lanes | 10 min/run | 15 min/run | 20 min/run |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 lanes | 6 h | 9 h | 12 h |
| 3 lanes | 4 h | 6 h | 8 h |
| 4 lanes | 3 h | 4 h 30 min | 6 h |

Each participant completes multiple runs. Valid times are added for the ranking; DNF, DSQ and missing times are ignored.
Use it when multiple runs should count. A fair comparison requires every participant to have the same number of valid runs included.
You can record multiple runs per participant. One valid time is enough; DNF, DSQ and missing times do not count for their run. Sums are not fairly comparable when participants have different numbers of valid runs: set the same attempt rules and verify equal valid-run counts before the event.
The total ranking is recalculated automatically after every locked run. A participant appears only once all scheduled runs are locked; open runs hold back only that participant.
It depends on the number of parallel lanes. The estimate for 24 participants assumes 3 recommended, configurable runs. At 15 minutes per run, pure running time is around 9 h on 2 lanes and about 4 h 30 min on 4 lanes – excluding start breaks.
Equal totals share a place; the next place follows competition ranking (for example, 1, 1, 3). A DNF, DSQ or run without a time does not disqualify a participant who has another valid run.
Fictional example with four participants and three runs each, independent of this page's size (all runs locked): Lena 0:31, 0:33, 0:30 = 1:34 (3 valid runs); Max 0:32, 0:30, 0:34 = 1:36 (3 valid runs); Sara 0:29, 0:31, no time = 1:00 (2 valid runs); Tim 0:28, DNF, DSQ = 0:28 (1 valid run). Sum ranking: Tim 0:28, Sara 1:00, Lena 1:34, Max 1:36. Tim leads with only one valid run; this position is not a fair comparison with Lena's and Max's three valid runs each. Lena and Max are directly comparable; Sara's two valid runs only partly. Set the same number of valid runs for everyone; open runs defer only the affected participant from the live leaderboard.
