Athletes were ranked by their best three World Athletics ranking points scores achieved during the season. Ranking points were allowed to be collected on both outdoor (decathlon/heptathlon) and indoor (heptathlon/pentathlon) events. While at least two of the scores had to come from Combined Events Tour meetings, one could come from any other competition on the International Calendar.[2]
The total prize money was US$202,000, split evenly between male and female athletes. The male and female winners each received $30,000, while second and third placed athletes were entitled to $20,000 and $15,000 respectively. Smaller prizes were given to the rest of the top eight finishers.[2]
Calendar
