If the athlete has participated in four or five stages, the decreasing coefficient will be applied to the results.
If participated in four stages, the results on three best stages will be multiplied on the coefficient 0,8 If five stages – the coefficient is 0,6

If the athlete has participated only in two stages, he or she cannot gain the prize-winning place after all stages. If two or more competitors will gain an equal amount of scores, the eldest competitor will be placed to the higher place.
