6th 8 5 1
7th 6 4
8th 5 3
9th 4 2
10th 3 1

12th 1
4.2 To be considered as a “scoring event”, the following minimum number of “qualified walkers”
must have taken part in the event:
4.2.1 Category B
• For competitions held in Europe: 10 “qualified walkers” coming from at least 5
countries
• For competitions outside Europe: 7 “qualified walkers” coming from at least 4
countries
4.2.2 Category C
• For competitions held in Europe: 6 “qualified walkers” coming from at least 4
countries
• For competitions outside Europe: 4 “qualified walkers” coming from at least 3
countries
4.3 For the purpose of clause 4.2, a “qualified walker” is defined as being:
20
• either ranked in the Top 50 of the previous year’s IAAF official performance list in the
standard walking events (20km Road or 50km Road Men – 20km Road Women)
• or Top 8 finishers of the 2008 IAAF World Race Walking Cup, 2008 Olympic Games or 2009
IAAF World Championships in Athletics.
4.4 If an event cannot be considered as “scoring” (in accordance with clause 4.2), the points defined
in clause 4.1 will nevertheless be awarded to the athletes having achieved the “A” standard for
the 2011 World Championships in Daegu (KOR). In case of competitions held at an altitude of
1500m or over, the “B” standard shall be taken as reference. For the 10km events the
performances to be achieved shall be 40:30 for the Men and 46:00 for the Women.
4.5 In order to be ranked, an athlete must participate in at least three events listed under 1.3.
Athletes that are disqualified (DQ), will NOT be considered as having participated in that event.
Although he may compete in as many competitions listed under 1.3 as he wishes, the athlete
will be ranked only according to his best three scoring results.
4.6 Any athlete achieving a new World Record (on track or road) will be awarded 4 bonus points in
addition to the ones he will receive as a result of his finishing position.
4.7 In the case of a tie for the ranking prior to the Final, affecting the right to financial support, this
will be resolved in favour of the walker with the highest finishing position in any of his best
three scoring events. In case of further tie(s), the other finishing positions will determine the
ranking.
5 Challenge Final – Participation and Eligibility for Overall Prize Money
