Hi Folks, would you be so kind as to clarify the tabulation process re:aggregate results? It looks to be a tight competition!
Thank you!

For Redding, the aggregate winners for each grade were determined by first looking at how many medals (i.e. top-3 placings) each competitor earned over the weekend. Where there were multiple competitors who medaled in every event, the placings were weighted accordingly, with 1st place finishes carrying the most weight, etc. Only competitors who played all four events in the grade were eligible for that grade’s aggregate award.
