Beginning in December 2011 and running through April 2012, we are replacing our Race of the Month with the SRR Winter Grand Prix Series. This Series is an internal club series where members compete against each other at specified events. The purpose of the series is to increase member participation in the club, have fun, and provide opportunities for members to get together at races in the local area.
RULES, SCORING & AWARDS:
Must be an active SRR member in order to participate. Must register and complete specified races within series. Participants must consistently register under their full name as it appears on our membership list -- these are the names that are used to search for SRR members within race results.
Scoring will go as follows: the last place SRR finisher in every series event will receive 10 points, next to last 11 points, and so on.
An example for 5 finishers:
- 1st = 14 points
- 2nd = 13 points
- 3rd = 12 points
- 4th = 11 points
- 5th = 10 points
Example for 10 finishers:
- 10th place gets 10 points....1st place gets 19 points.
Scoring for more than one race option (January & March races):
January - Race results for both, the 5K and 10K will be normalized
into one list for scoring purposes. Using a formulaic approach, both
race results will be weighed equally normalize the finish times and
apply the scoring of participants. These races will not be scored
separately.
March - Results for, both, the Quincy and New Bedford Half Marathons
will be combined into one list and scoring will be applied. These
races will not be scored separately.
This scoring system encourages participation and competition. The more SRR participants, the better the chance for higher points. Every race will be scored, the more races you run the better you will do. Highest (and lowest) scoring, as well as participation levels, will be awarded. All participants will have their names and point totals published to the SRR website after each event.
Presentation of awards will be done in May. Time and date are TBD.
Awards are as follows:
- Participants in 3 or 4 events: Travel Tumbler with SRR Logo
- Participants in all 5 events: Insulated Tote Bag with SRR Logo (in addition to tumbler)
- Top 5 scoring men and women: Sports Duffel Bag with SRR Logo (in addition to above awards)
- Bottom 2 scoring men and women, with participation in 3 or more events: Sports Duffel Bag with SRR Logo (in addition to a Tumbler or Tote Bag)
