HELL OF THE WEST is a PTO World Rankings Points Event

PTO World Ranking System

The PTO Ranking system was created to identify and rank the world’s greatest triathletes. It measures consistent excellence and determines the year-end bonuses payable to PTO Professionals. This ins’t about favouring any series of races or races in any geographical area, but to measure talent and achievement based on result of the athlete.
