What are the points rankings for the Games 2024? 

Ranking Points System (Dropdown)

The ranking points system rewards the top three positions with a significant point gap (as shown above). Likewise, a points gap at the bottom of the table encourages a "never give up" attitude, aligning with the core values of The Multi-Sport Group.

How do The Games 2024 work?

There are 7 events throughout The Games day. Each event will rank all entrants based on their performance, similar to other sports. Points will then be awarded according to the position achieved (as per the table above). After each event, the points are totaled to update the overall standings. At the end of the 7 events, the overall winner will be the entrant with the highest total points. An example is below:

Competitor 1: Cameron Jones

.	Event 1: Rugby	Event 2: Cycling	Event 3: Basketball	Event 4: ​Tennis	Event 5: Soccer	Event 6: Athletics	Event 7: Final Race	Total
Position	75th	9th	21st	22nd	46th	11th	8th	.
Points	10	76	64	63	39	74	77	403

Competitor 2: Quade Smith

.	Event 1: Rugby	Event 2: Cycling	Event 3: Basketball	Event 4: ​Tennis	Event 5: Soccer	Event 6: Athletics	Event 7: Final Race	Total
Position	2nd	8th	31st	2nd	6th	12th	7th	.
Points	94	77	54	94	79	73	78	549

In this example, while the results of the other 78 competitors are unknown, Competitor 2: Quade Smith, with 549 points, would rank significantly higher in the overall standings than Competitor 1: Cameron Jones, who has 403 points.
