XENOM has announced a “record-based” prize money structure for its inaugural season. XENOM will pay out $75,000 at XENOM Dallas with the prize purse to be split among the elite individual and elite pairs divisions. From there, athletes in those divisions must break the existing EPI record to receive prize money.
In Dallas, the $75,000 prize purse will be split as follows:
- Elite Male Individual Overall: $25,000
- Elite Female Individual Overall: $25,000
- Elite Male Pairs Overall: $12,500
- Elite Female Pairs Overall: $12,500
After XENOM Dallas, athletes competing at XENOM London will receive the following if they break the overall EPI score set at XENOM Dallas:
- Elite Male Individual World Record: $10,000
- Elite Female Individual World Record: $10,000
- Elite Male Pairs World Record: $5,000
- Elite Female Pairs World Record: $5,000
If a world record is not broken at London or any subsequent competition, $5,000 will be added to the elite individual prize purse and $2,500 will be added to the elite pairs divisions. In other words, if no one breaks a record at XENOM London, the prize money for breaking a record will increase to $15,000 for elite individuals and $7,500 for elite pairs at the third competition.
That rollover prize money would continue to increase until a world record is set.
“XENOM is built on the principle that world records deserve world-class recognition. Our payout structure reflects our commitment to celebrating the athletes who push the absolute boundaries of human performance,” said Keith Barlow, Founder and CEO of XENOM. “By implementing the rollover system, XENOM creates a dynamic competitive environment where the financial stakes grow alongside the athletic challenge, ensuring that every competition carries the potential for breakthrough performances.”
Non-Elite Divisions
While the cash prizes are reserved for the elite divisions, XENOM will recognize those who break EPI world records in the RX and Compete divisions. Athletes in those divisions who break a divisional world record will receive a free entry into any future XENOM competition (unless that athlete have previously competed in the elite division).
XENOM Dallas is the first-ever XENOM competition. It is June 27-28 at The Star in Frisco, Texas. You can register to compete here.
