    I did Belmont too, but nowhere near as speedy as Al. My time 50:13 which gives me 52 points I believe.

    Cheers Rob! I can't add myself into the table (I'm on my phone), so I'll officially join the champs tomorrow!

    I think we should have a vote to see whether we should allow Al to join after his performance today!

    Seriously, cracking comeback race Al! :thumbup:

    Indeed. Also mathematically reduces to:

    [ 2 - (your time / winning time) ] * 100

    Ok, so...

    Winner: 34:19 - 2059
    Me: 35:13 - 2113

    (2059 / 2113) x 100 = 97.4443919

    So 97.

    Think it's this:

    Winner's time - Your time = 54

    54 / 2059 = 0.26

    1 - 0.26 = 0.974

    0.974 x 100 = 97.4

    So 97. Same result, but different working out.

    Winner/You will hold for when your time is close to the winner's, but definitely isn't correct!

    For example, if your time was 1000s and the winners was 500s:
    winner/you = 500/1000 = 0.5 = 50 points

    No using the correct formula:
    1-((1000-500)/500) = 1 - 1 = 0 = 0 points

    Quite a difference! As OB1 pointed out the formula I posted also simplifies to (2 - (you/winner)), the way I wrote it just made more sense to me.
