Maritime Throwdown uses each athlete's course time to place them into the right Level within their Division.  As competition grows, Levels will reflect both skill and consistency.  

Each Level helps industrial maritime athletes see exactly where they stand and what to work on next.  

After every course run, athletes get their targeted feedback - their Individual Development Plan - showing key areas to improve and track progress over time.
