Racing and
standings
From wristband to points to season standings: this is how competition works in survivalrun.
Last updated:
- WristbandStart with a band; without it the run does not fully count.
- PointsRace points according to the regulations.
- StandingsSeason ranking from your best runs.
- Start rankingSets the start order for the next race.
The wristband
Every participant starts with a wristband from race control. You wear it for the entire race. If you do not complete an obstacle correctly, the jury takes your band: that run then counts as "without wristband".
A missed obstacle counts as 3 hours of time penalty (= 360 points deduction). Race control tracks up to 5 missed obstacles; after that points become negative.
Keeping your wristband is also the condition for earning qualification points towards a licence.
Points per race
The winner, the fastest participant without a missed obstacle, gets 1000 points. Those who finish later lose points proportionally. Points per race category and age class (men/women/veterans), to 2 decimal places (AR §8.4).
Season standings
The standings are the sum of your points over a set number of races. Not every race you run counts: only the best N of your runs.
The number of counting races (N) per category follows the formula:
N = ⌊½ × offered + 1⌋, max. 7
The concrete N per category varies per season and is shown on the SBN calendar. sr-stats always shows the current N from the federation meta-data.
A valid final standings position requires at least the minimum number of runs set by the board (max. 7). Ties in the top 3 are broken by head-to-head results on shared races.

Start ranking and start order
The order on the start list determines who goes out on the course first. That order follows the start ranking: an average score over the past 365 days.
PX = (TS / TX) × 1000
T_S is the fastest finishing time in the race category; T_X is your time. With 5 or more counting results, your lowest score is dropped. Men and women have separate rankings. Unranked: placed at the back by registration time. Details and women's group allocation: see AR appendix 4.
ONK, NSK and qualification runs
The Open Dutch Championship (ONK) counts as a regular standings race for JSR, KSR, MSR and LSR; no ONK for BSR. There is one ONK per season per category.
NSK (Dutch Student Championships) is a separate event visible on the calendar. A qualification run is any run where qualification points for an adult race licence can be earned.
What sr-stats shows
sr-stats independently displays official sporting data from SBN. We do not recalculate the standings as an official position. SBN remains the authoritative source. More about how our data works:
Result codes
Results contain codes from the federation data. These are not official AR definitions but the values as they appear in the result:
| Code | Meaning in the data |
|---|---|
| DNF | Did not finish |
| DNS | Did not start |
| AFM | Withdrawn (in advance) |
| DSQ | Disqualified |
The current regulations
Points scoring, qualification and the number of counting races can change each season. Always read the current regulations.
