In the concept of the Apnea Pirates AIDA Cup, the single victory doesn’t count alone. The Overall winner of the Apnea Pirates AIDA Cup, for men and for women, is the athlete with the highest overall points after completion of all the meets from the series, regardless of positions from any ranked competitor at each or any meet of the series.
The best performance in combination with achievements in different disciplines, not only among athletes of the same discipline but among all the athletes competing at the series, can be a winning tactic to gain the maximum number of points. (e.g., an athlete with good performance in Depth can win over an athlete competing in Dynamic).
There is no limit to the number of individual disciplines each athlete can compete per meet. However, there can be only one start per discipline in each meet (competition).
A ranking shall be established per gender and disciplines.
Overall Scoring per disciplines
Overall Ranking will be defined based on the position of the athletes after completion of the series. The scoring and respective ranking is calculated based on the results from all the meets completed by an athlete. Firsts male athletes and the female athletes in each discipline will receive prizes.
