Aggregate point system
First place will receive points as of the number of competitors - down to the last finisher gaining 1 point. Athletes starting but not finishing a race receive one point. Athletes having first race will gain an invitation handicap. Aggregate point will accrue throughout the season with the highest points being the winner in each age group.
Handicap system
Athletes will be handicapped from their first race. The handicap time then will be determined from a pre-set time. Handicap times will be checked and adjusted when necessary.
Sponsored awards (trophies/medallions)
To be eligible for a sponsored or club award, new athletes must be registered and have at least 2 starts to confirm their handicap times.
Club Championships
Club championships will be run during the season with the fastest times in each group being the age group champion.
