Classes

As per Nopesport Urban League for 2012:

          • M/W16- (with regard to the BOF requirements for under 16’s running in urban areas)
          • Open
          • Vet (40+)
          • Supervet (55+)
          • Ultravet (65+)

Scoring

Scores will be based on the points from a number of races out of the total (as yet to be decided).

Points will be as follows: 100, 96, 93, 91, 90, 89…

At any given race, a competitor may score in only one class. Unless specified otherwise beforehand, he (or she) will score in the lowest class for which he is eligible; for example, if W Vet and W Supervet share a course, a W55 would score only as a W Supervet. A competitor who runs a course above that designated for his class will score in the lowest class for which he is eligible, e.g. an M55 running up on a course designated for M Open, W Open and M Veteran would score only as M Veteran. IT MAY BE THAT Only those runners aged 16 & over on the day, are allowed to run the Open class, due to BOF insurance requirements.

In a competition with parallel heats and a set of graded finals, points will be awarded from the top of the A final downwards. Anybody not finishing both races will be disregarded.
Coordinator reserves the right to amend the scoring system during the year, with the aim of promoting competition or improving fairness in unforeseen circumstances.

Roger Thetford, who administers the Nopesport Urban League scoring system, has kindly agreed to administer the league scoring software for this league. A local or National BOF number will be required to participate.
