Age Groups
Age groups for the CVR Onion River Sports Race Series 2008 will be Male
and Female, 0-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70+. Age group will be
determined by the person's age at his/her first running event in the series.
Scoring
The winner of each age and gender category, at each event, receives 100 points. Every other runner in that category receives points based on what percentage slower their time was from the winner. (Example: if your time is 8% slower than the category winner, you receive 92 points for the event. 12 % slower = 88 points, etc.)
Often the fast folks do not end up winning the series. Sometimes it is the frequent competitor who carries the day! |
