Points Example:
Chris,
Ben, Tom and Nathan all ran a race and finished in that order. Chris is 31, Ben
is 34, Tom is 35, and Nathan is 39. For the individual race the age group was
30-39...therefor Chris placed 1st, Ben placed 2nd, Tom placed 3rd, and Nathan
was 4th in the individual race age group.
For
the Race Series, Chris and Ben would be placed in the 30-34 age group and Tom
and Nathan would be placed in the 35-39 age group. Therefor Chris and Ben would
get 5 points and 3 points for the 30-34 Race Series age group and Tom and Nathan
would get 5 points and 3 points for the 35-39 Race Series age group.
The
reason behind figuring the Race Series points this way is so that, you the race
series participants, are racing the same people in your 5 year age group all
year long. Basing the points off of the same age group consistently throughout
the year makes the points fair no matter what race you run or what age groups
are used for that individual race.
