Age Groups
Scoring
If you run in the correct class for your age and win, you score 100 points. If you run in the correct class and do not win, then your time is divided into the winner's time to find the fraction of the winner's 100 points that you score.
If you run one class lower than your correct class, then you score 50 points if you win for your age, and a similar fraction of the winner's 50 points if you do not win for your age.
If you run more than one course down, then you do not score.
If you run up a class, then you compete against the first East Anglian in that class, with your time divided into their time to find the fraction of 100 points that you score. If you should win then you score 100 points and the person in the correct age class will also score 100 points. Others in the correct age class always have their time divided into the age class winner's time to work out their score.
At the end of the year, your overall score is determined by adding up your four best scores over the year. You must also have attended a minimum of three events to qualify for overall positions. [new for 2001]
Club positions are obtained by adding up every single point scored by all the members of the club, including those who score under 100, and dividing by the number of units in the club.
