Closed-form points-from-leader: the AG winner gets a base score (5000 IM, 2500 70.3, +1000 for a Worlds), and each subsequent finisher loses 1 point per second behind the AG winner. No SOF, no iteration, no bootstrap. Athlete overall is the top 5 race scores in a rolling 52-week window with a 3-IM cap, matching the Pro Series rules.
