Results & Rankings.

Competition Results

The Obstacle Course Racing Association of Ireland (OCRA ÉIREANN) aims to maintain a clear and permanent record of results from OCRA competitions, National Championships, qualification events and major international performances involving Irish athletes.

Results are an important part of the history of the sport and should remain accessible long after an individual event has finished.

Official and Provisional Results

Immediately after a competition, results may initially be published as:

PROVISIONAL

This allows time for any corrections, protests or result reviews.

Once the relevant competition process has been completed, results may be confirmed as:

OFFICIAL

Result Classifications

Depending on the competition rules, results may include classifications such as:

DNS — Did Not Start

DNF — Did Not Finish

DNC — Did Not Complete

DSQ — Disqualified

The exact use of each classification depends on the competition rules.

National Championship Results

OCRA aims to maintain a permanent record of Irish National Championship results.

This includes recognition of:

Irish National Champions
Silver medallists
Bronze medallists
Age Group results
Elite results
Discipline-specific results

Qualification Results

Where an event forms part of an international qualification pathway, its results should clearly identify the qualification event and provide access to the relevant qualification information.

Athletes should refer to the current Qualification page for confirmation of qualification requirements.

Team Ireland Results

Results achieved by athletes representing Ireland at major international competition form an important part of Ireland's obstacle sport history.

OCRA aims to preserve these performances as part of the Team Ireland and Results archives.

Athlete Results

As the OCRA results archive develops, athletes should be able to view their performances across multiple competitions.

An athlete's results record may include:

Events
Disciplines
Finishing positions
Times
Age Group results
Medal performances
Team Ireland appearances

This will help create a long-term competitive history for Irish obstacle racing.

Results Archive

Historical results should remain accessible by year and event.

This may include:

OCRA competitions
National Championships
Qualification events
European Championships
World Championships
Team Ireland results

Preserving historical results allows athletes, clubs and the wider community to follow the development of the sport over time.

Corrections

If you believe that an OCRA result has been recorded incorrectly, contact OCRA with details of:

OCRA will review correction requests against the official competition records.

Rankings

OCRA National Rankings

The Obstacle Course Racing Association of Ireland (OCRA ÉIREANN) is working towards the development of a national ranking system for competitive obstacle racing in Ireland.

The aim of the rankings is to recognise consistent performance across approved competitions and create a stronger connection between individual races throughout the Irish OCR season.

Why National Rankings?

Obstacle racing in Ireland takes place across a variety of events and organisers.

A national ranking system can help connect these events into a wider competitive pathway and provide athletes with an opportunity to measure their performance across a season.

Rankings can also help:

Recognise leading Irish athletes
Encourage participation in multiple competitions
Support athlete development
Strengthen relationships between races
Provide a clearer national competition structure
Build a historical record of competitive performance

Ranking Events

Not every OCR event listed on the OCRA website will automatically contribute towards national rankings.

Only events specifically approved as OCRA Ranking Events will be eligible.

Potential Ranking Events may include:

OCRA-organised events
OCRA Sanctioned Events
Irish National Championships
OCRA Qualification Events
Other approved competitive races

Approved events will be clearly identified as:

OCRA RANKING EVENT

Ranking Categories

Rankings may be maintained separately across different:

Disciplines
Categories
Age Groups

This is intended to ensure that athletes are compared within appropriate competitive structures rather than forcing very different race formats into a single ranking.

Ranking Season

National rankings will operate over a defined competition season.

The ranking period, eligible events and scoring method will be published before an official ranking season begins.

How Ranking Points Will Work

OCRA is currently developing the ranking methodology.

The final system will be designed to reward competitive performance while remaining understandable and transparent for athletes.

The ranking rules will explain:

Which events are eligible
How points are awarded
How many results count
Whether National Championships receive additional weighting
How ties are resolved
Which categories are ranked

Rankings and Qualification

National rankings may potentially form part of future qualification or selection pathways.

However, a ranking position will only affect international qualification where this is specifically stated within the applicable qualification criteria.

Athletes should not assume that a national ranking automatically qualifies them for international competition.

Historical Rankings

Once an official ranking system is launched, final standings from each season should remain available permanently.

This will create a historical record of the development of competitive OCR in Ireland and recognise athletes who have led their categories over time.

National Rankings — Coming Soon

The full OCRA National Ranking system is currently being developed.

Details of the first ranking season, eligible competitions and points system will be published once the ranking structure has been finalised.
