RULES & AWARDS
Winning female and male team awards
Team scoring based on best 4 weeks. Each team needs 3 male and 3 female finishers to score as a team. Traditional XC scoring with one point deducted for 1st male and female master in 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s age group. For example, if a team goes top 3 in the male and female they would have a score per gender of 6 and a combined team score of 12. If they have the top 40 year old male and top 60 year old female their score would be reduced by two to 10. Individual displacement will occur for team scoring.
Individual age group custom awards will be presented on the final day to the 1st male and female in open, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's categories based on each person's best 4 finishes.
Results: please allow 24-48 hours to be published.
