Scoring

Series Rules

  • Whenever you finish a Series race, you will receive points
  • The sum of your highest four scores will determine your score for the Series
  • Your age group for the Series will be your age at registration
  • Awards are presented to the top three male and female runners, as well as the top three male/female runners in the following age groups: 19 and Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69
  • The top three male and female runners are not eligible for age group awards
  • Awards are presented at the Lucky Lab after the final race in the Series

Scoring System

The winner of a race receives 100 points. Every other racer receives points based on their time compared to the winner’s.

For example, Amy wins the race in 46:00. Kelly finished in 1:02:00. Amy’s score is 100 because she won. Kelly’s score is 74.2. It is calculated by dividing the winner’s time (46 minutes) by her time (62 minutes) and then multiplying the results by 100. So 46/62 x 100 = 74.2

Points are calculated separately for men and women. Men use the men’s winning time, and women use the women’s winning time to calculate points.

Your total score is the sum of your four highest race scores. If you run all five races, your lowest scoring race is dropped. You are counted as a Series participant and your score will make you eligible for awards if you complete at least four races in the Series.
