2019 IAAF World Indoor Tour
The 2019 IAAF World Indoor Tour was the fourth edition of the IAAF World Indoor Tour, the highest series of international track and field indoor meetings.[1] It was designed to create an IAAF Diamond League-style circuit for indoor track and field events, to raise the profile of indoor track and field athletics.

The Tour retains six events for 2019, five in Europe and one in the United States. All six 2018 meetings returned, although the order of the meetings has been rearranged from 2018, and the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix has returned from Glasgow to Birmingham as part of a long term deal, having hosted the 2018 IAAF World Indoor Championships. Glasgow, in turn, will host the 2019 European Athletics Indoor Championships at the end of the indoor season, from 1–3 March 2019.[2]
Scoring system
At each meeting a minimum of 12 events were staged. Included in the 12 events will be a core group of five or six events split across the two-season cycle.
Tour counting events for 2019 were the men’s 60m, hurdles 400m, 1500m, high jump and long jump, plus the women’s 60m, 800m, 3,000/5,000m, pole vault, triple jump and shot put.[3][4]
Points were allocated to the best four athletes in each event, with the winner getting 10 points, the runner up receiving seven points, the third-placed finisher getting five points and the athlete in fourth receiving three points. There is a bonus 3 points awarded to any athlete who set a world record.[3]
The individual overall winner of each event received US $20,000 in prize money. In each event the finishing positions offered the following money: 1st: $3000. 2nd: $1500. 3rd: $1000. 4th: $750. 5th: $500. 6th: $300. For middle distance races, $200 and $150 will be awarded to 7th and 8th place. All tour winners qualify for the 2020 IAAF World Indoor Championships, taking a wildcard spot subject to ratification by their country.[3][4]
