DIVISION SCORING

Standings are posted after races 3, 4, and 5. All runners in each division, not including single race entrants, are ranked and awarded points, with 10 for first, 9 for second, down to 1 for tenth. One point is also given to all finishers in that division not in the top ten.

You must finish four races to score. If you run more than four races, your best four point totals count toward your standings. A perfect score is 40, and we are continually devising special ways to embarrass – err, honor – someone so dominant in their division! 

In the case we have to apply tie-breakers, the winner would be the person who runs more races. If still tied, the winner would be the runner with a higher place in a fifth race or in the fifth and sixth races combined. We generally don’t have to go beyond those tie-breakers. And if we have prizes laying around, we don’t break them at all — we just give out duplicate awards!

Please note: after race 4 and 5, it becomes apparent that some people will not or did not run and finish (and/or turn their card in!) for the minimum four races. At that point, we remove them from the races they did run, and re-score the division for that race. Points can change wildly toward the end of the season. Also, even if you are the only person in your division, you must finish four races to claim a prize.
