Series Scoring:
Points will be awarded based on finish time. The winner of any given race (male and female) will be awarded 100 points. Finishers in that category will receive points based on a percentage time calculation. For example, if the winner finishes in 20:00 and you finish in 25:30, you will receive (20 minutes/25.5 minutes) x 100 = 78.43 points
(points will be rounded to the nearest hundredth).
This type of scoring emphasizes finish time over finish place, making close finishes less detrimental to series standings than scoring by place. Regardless of the order you place, the faster you run, the more points you receive.
A runner's series score will be determined by adding the top four scores from individual races. Running more than 4 races will provide an opportunity to improve your score. Series awards to top male, female and masters plus three deep in the following age groups: 19 & under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+ M/F.
