Ranking Teams Classifications

Here the test is described that is done when the team Subject is compared to the team Test. This test is part of the uniformed sorting process.

Formal Description

The test is described using a flow chart diagram. Flow charts are common tools in engineering and are very appropriate to formally describe a sequence of actions and conditions.

The test basically answers the question "insert here?" and answers it with a Yes or No (in the circles).

Within the test, decisions are made (in the diamonds), either:

• In blue: a decision directly based on ranking settings; or
• In black: a decision that compares properties of Subject and Test.

Half Stage Teams Classification

General Teams Classification

Informal Description

* indicates dependence on a ranking setting

Latest or all always refers to only the half stages that have come by, up to and including the half stage for which the sorting is currently done.

Half Stage Teams Classification

The first diagram lays out that draws (ex equos) in half stage teams classifications are resolved by looking at:

• The sum of the rankings of the first n* competitors of the team (the bunch) that finished in the half stage*; and
• The placing of the deciding competitor*.

(2.3.044 and 2.6.016)

The initial sort order is the sum of the times of the first n* competitors of the team (the bunch) that finished in the half stage.

General Teams Classification

The second diagram lays out that draws (ex equos) in general teams classifications are resolved by looking at:

• The sum of the rankings in all team half stage classifications*;
• The latest team half stage classification's ranking*; and
• The latest general classification result of the best competitor of the team.

(2.6.016)

The initial sort order is the sum of the team's times in all half stage teams classifications.
