SANDBACH STRIDERS
RULES FOR 2009/2010 CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
The committee have agreed new rules for the club championship. This is intended to reward the most consistent runner rather than the fastest runner and to take account of age relative to the time a PB was set so that we are not disadvantaged by the passage of time!
Points will be scored for your performance in the nominated races stated on the club calendar.
Races over distances of 5km, 5 miles, 10km and Half Marathon will count towards the championship.
You need to have run 3 of the 4 distances during the year. Your best 10 races will be considered.
Your performance will be assessed in relation to your WAVA adjusted Personal Best time.
Personal Best is defined as follows:
“Your best time, for a given distance; achieved when representing Sandbach Striders”
WAVA (World Association of Veteran Athletes) use a system which measures an athletes performance relative to the World Record for the event by an athlete of the same age. Members PB's will be adjusted so that the WAVA rating remains the same which will in effect alter the PB time, reducing it for younger athletes and increasing it for older athletes (The point at which it has neutral effect appears to be around age 25 for most events).
Updates will be published on the club website.
Points will be scored as follows:
plus…
10 points per minute under WAVA adjusted PB time
or minus….
10 points per minute over WAVA adjusted PB time
under the following framework:
