11 Waves assignments Both waves will have the same number of athletes assigned. Triathletes from the same NF will be split in two groups randomly, assigning the same number to each of the waves. NFs with only one triathlete will be entered to one or the other wave, in order to keep the numbers balanced. Same principle will apply to the excess resulting from NFs with odd number of athletes The world champion will be the athlete with shortest time, no matter which wave is starting The result list of the Age Groups affected will contain the triathletes of both waves sorted by times. The waves containing athletes from the same age group will be scheduled one immediately after the other. These waves will not include athletes from a different Age Group
