The Diamond League: How Does It Work?
At each of the fifteen series Diamond League meetings, Athletes are awarded 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 points for ranking 1st to 8th respectively. The top 6 in the field events, top eight for 100m-800m and the top 10 for 1500m and long distances will qualify for the Final. In case of a tie, the best legal performance of the qualification phase wins.
The winner of each Diamond Discipline at the Final will become "Diamond League Champion" and be awarded a Diamond Trophy, USD 60,000 and 100,000prize money depending on the discipline and a wild card for the World Athletics Championships (certain conditions apply).
There are fifteen meetings in a full Diamond League season and for the events at each meeting athletes are awarded points valuing from eight to one for finishing first to eighth respectively. The athletes that accrue the most points over the course of the season will qualify for the Diamond League Final.
After the penultimate Diamond League meeting in Brussels, the finalists will be known and a start time for each event will be added here. Previous point totals are wiped at this stage and the winner of the Final will be crowned Champion in each event.
