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

In a combined time trial, 24 participants complete several scored runs – 3 rounds are recommended. Unlike best-time scoring, all recorded times are added together: it is not the single perfect run that counts but the lowest total time across all rounds. This rewards consistency rather than one lucky run. As in any time trial, the 24 participants never face each other directly – everyone races against the clock on their own, and the ranking comes from the sum of the recorded times.
Combined scoring differs from the other time-trial variants in that all 3 runs are added together – not the single fastest run, but the lowest total time decides.
| Aspect | Rule |
|---|---|
| Runs per participant | Several scored rounds (3 recommended) |
| What counts | Sum of all run times (total time) |
| Ranking order | Ascending by total time – the lowest sum leads |
| Tiebreaker | Fastest single run decides, then the second-fastest |
| Missed run | Counts as a maximum time – consistency across all rounds is rewarded |
How long the combined time trial with 24 participants takes depends on the number of parallel lanes and the run duration. Because every round is scored, the pure running time adds up across several runs – 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 |

A single slip costs time but can still be made up over the remaining runs, and in the end the most reliable overall performance wins.

It depends on the number of parallel lanes. With 24 participants and 3 scored runs each, the pure running time is around 9 h on 2 lanes and about 4 h 30 min on 4 lanes – each excluding start breaks.
If two participants share the same total time, the fastest single run decides. If that is also equal, the second-fastest run counts.
