Club Championship 2002

Championship Format

The Championship will be made up of 15 races (see appendix 1), 5 road, 5 Fell and 5 Cross Country. This will provide 3 sections (Road, Fell and Cross Country) and an Overall Championship. To qualify for each section you need to compete in 3 from 5 of the section races. To qualify for the Overall Championship you have to compete in 8 from the total of 15, with at least 2 of these races from each section. Your 8 best race scores, including the minimum of 2 from each section, will be added together to form an Overall Championship total.

Scoring

The first Penistone runner in each race will score 50 points, the second 49 and so on. The allocation of points will not be age or sex related, the points will be allocated purely on your finishing position.

Ties

In the event of any runners scoring the same number of points, the runner who has scored better head to head with his or her rival will be placed higher in the points table. If this fails to separate runners then the oldest runner will be placed higher.

Where races for men and woman cover a different distance e.g. South Yorkshire cross Country the woman’s times will multiplied by a factor to make it comparable with the men’s distance. Overall times will then be used to allocate points.

Prizes

Your age group will be determined by your age on the 01/01/2002.

Prizes will be awarded for existing age groups for both male and female categories. Each group will have Section winners e.g. Fell Lady Vet 40.

The groups are as follows:

Male Senior, MV40, MV45, MV50, MV55, MV60.

Female Senior, LV40, LV45, LV50, LV55, LV60.

The Sections are Road, Fell and Cross Country.

The Overall Champion will be the Male and Female with the best Scores from the 8 races needed to qualify.

A special prize, and title of Challenge Champion will be given to the runner who acquires the most points from the 15 races.

Any runner wishing to run races but not be eligible for prizes see Ian Wragg.
