It's like you're reading my mind!Originally Posted by Marvin
Not 100% sure I'll be doing New Chew, but I think we should allow score O events
although points-wise, a normal race you get 0 points for going at half the speed of the winner, so maybe there should be a sliding scale down to half the score of the winner - i.e. if the winner scores 200 and you score 140, you get 40 points rather than 70 - does that make sense?

and Latege - I will see your 8 points and raise (lower) that to the massive 4 points I registered at Winter Hill yesterday (2:58:28 cf 1:30:58)
any other results from the weekend...?

Worked my Winter Hill points out at 81. Finishing time 1.52.12. No idea on how to update chart tho..
Also Edale Skyline is one of my upcoming events. Cheers.
Mole - excellent time at Winter Hill!
unfortunately not quite 81 points:
1:52:12 = 6732 secs; winner's time = 1:30:58 = 5458
6732-5458 = 1274
1274/5458 = 23%
so 77 points
still puts you top though, so not all bad!

Er.... no
The points system is fine (and just about do-able) as it is! By the way I've got a February result waiting in the wings - just need the final results to land on the Esk Valley fell runners web site for the Danby Beacon fell race (north york moors) on Sunday. Could be a goodish score as I won the fastest old fogey race and got a bottle of wine
I think that's a bit harsh. In your example, a score of 140 feels more like it's worth 70 rather than 40. If you screw up your timing, you can easily drop a shedload of points for being late, in fact if you took in the same controls as the winner, but took twice as long, you'd have a very negative score! But maybe that's a silly argument.
Perhaps I'll just avoid the problem by going for the scoreless (pointless???) course. I've entered Studmarks, so hope I won't need New Chew for my Feb race.

Whoops,got the division part mixed up-sorry! Cheers for the correction.
Another 76 for me I think at the Danby Beacon fell race results. My times 4,265 seconds vs winning time of 3,434 seconds. Difference = 24% of winners time and 100 less 24 = 76. I'm doing this right am I?
Jolly good, you did all the hard work for me! I, too, have a result from the Danby Beacon Race. I did 78mins so 4680 seconds which gives me 63.72 which I think I can call 64? (go on...let me) Must find some races with slower people in.:wink:

Okay a Feb result from Fairmile Race, one of the Kendal Winter League series. My time 40:08 and winner 27:48 gives me 56 points.
