CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SCORING METHOLOGY

 

This is the explanation of how the CC is scored:

  • The results from each race in the list are Age and Gender graded (Using WAVA methodology). The person with the highest grading gets 10 points, the next 9 and so forth, down to 1. All runners in a race will get a minimum of 1 point.
  • There are also time bonus points to be had:
    • The Men. 5 points if you are within 20% of the winners time. 3 points if within 50% of the winners time. 1 point if within 80% of the winners time.
    • The Women. 5 points if you are within 30% of the winners time. 3 points if within 60% of the winners time. 1 point if within 90% of the winners time.
  • Members will be requested to provide their best 5K and Marathon times for the year. Parkrun can be used for 5K. These will count as additional virtual races to get points and is scored using the same scoring method as the race list. (Note: 2hr30min is used as the winning time for marathons and 15min as the winning time for 5K)
  • For each member their 8 highest points are added together to get their total score.
  • For 2018 there will not be a minimum number of races you need to do to be included in the final results, but obviously the more you do the higher your score will be.
  • The highest score wins.

Since WAVA age\gender grading is used, the playing field is fairly level no matter your age or gender. Even if you don't get high points in races, you can still do well if you enter a lot of races.
