The Ladies A team is in Division 1 of the Ladies A League.
The Ladies B and C teams are both in Division 1 of the Ladies B League
The Men's A team is in Division 1 of the Men's A League
The Men's B and C teams are both in Division 1 of the Men's B League
Teams
A complete team consists of 4 runners for men and 3 for ladies. An incomplete team which has one runner short (ie 3 men or 2 ladies) may still score, with the missing runner's score being substituted by the position after the last same sex runner in the race. If a club has no runners or more than 1 short of a team they are considered a "no show" for that race, and will score one worse than if they had been last team in the league, with race score set to 10 points over the last finishing club team in that league.
Official vests with club colours must be worn to score for a team, so that runners of closely competing teams in their league may be aware of their competitors' positions.
Each club may field A and B teams in the league, if they have so affiliated. The A team consists of the first runners for that club over the line, and when the A team is complete, the leading runners remaining will form the B team. Large clubs may choose to affiliate a C team, D team, etc. on the same principle, all to compete in the B league.
Team Scoring
Race Points (RC) are the way the teams positions are decided in each race. So in the case of the men, by adding up the finishing positions of the 4 runners, relative to all league clubs*. For example a team with runners 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th has a score of 14 race points. The team with lowest numeric score is the winning team. If incomplete it could be 1st, 2nd, 5th+ 150th = 158 (RC) - this score will be highlighted in the league tables. For ladies the same but allowing for one less team member.
The League Score (LG) is scored as follows: the 1st team in the division scores 1 pt, 2nd =2pts, 3rd = 3pts and so on.
Complete teams are scored first, with incomplete teams score the positions behind the last complete team. This is to ensure that an incomplete team does not score ahead of a complete one.
No-show teams score the maximum score of the total number of teams in their league plus one. For example, if there are 10 teams the no shows would score 11 points. The race points for a no-show team will be the highest points score amongst the competing teams (including any incomplete teams), plus 10 points.
Scoring the Race Series
Men’s team leagues are currently decided on the best 9 races from the series and the Ladies teams on the best 8 from 12.
The league shows the score once the worst scores are removed, after the minimum number of races have been run.
