Does anyone know how the BG Triathlon World Cup works? I know athletes get points for placing, but how does that work, how do you get to race in the series (not that i am trying to), how does it affect the 08 Olympics..? Could not find any good info at triathlon.org...

Bigger races have more points. I think that finishing time also affects how many points you get (based on a time percent back from the winner). You need to qualify for World Cups with Continental Cups (Pan Am races for us). You need a pro card to do Continental Cups. Qualifying for the Olympics is based on points in the Haul to the Wall series, which is a few selected World Cup races.
