The RTC program is limited to 12 athletes in 2011-2012.  

Priority is assigned to athletes achieving performance standards as follows;

1. Triathlon Canada High Performance standards in both swim and run
2. Triathlon Canada High Performance standards in swim or run, and Triathlon Canada Development standards in the other
3. Triathlon Canada Development standards in both swim and run
• From this point onwards RTC entry is prioritized for U23 athletes on a step by step basis
4. Triathlon Canada Development  standard in swim or run and RTC Development standard in the other.
5. RTC Development standard in both swim and run
6. RTC Development standard in swim or run and RTC Training standard in the other.
7. RTC Training standard in both swim and run
8. RTC Training in one standard only

TIES

Any ties for RTC allocation between athletes achieving the same performance standards will resolved by;

1. using the race specific distance standards over successively shorter distances
• i.e. 800 m swim / 5 km run for juniors and 1500 m swim / 10 km run for seniors
2. using the sum of the percentage over/under the given standard for both swim and run.
• i.e. an athlete with one performance at the standard (0% difference) and another performance 2.5% slower (-2.5%) would be ranked behind an athlete with one performance faster than the standard by (+0.5%) and another performance 2.5% slower (-2.5%).

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Athletes with injuries, illness, those experiencing a growth phase (i.e. PHV) or other special circumstances will be considered individually.
