A total of fifteen meetings featured on the circuit, with nine women's and nine men's contests spread across those events. The point scoring format was cumulative – the final standings were decided by the sum of athletes' three best throws on the circuit. Only the best throw by an athlete from each meet was taken into consideration. Calendar The 2013 edition marked a move away from the series' alignment with the IAAF World Challenge circuit. Instead, the series was expanded and featured nine World Challenge meetings, one IAAF Diamond League meeting (Prefontaine Classic), and four non-IAAF meetings in Europe. Performances at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics were also included in series for the first time.2013 IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge Calendar. IAAF.
