Results will be updated and published on a monthly basis.
The following rules will be applied.
1. All timings must be verifiable from official race results. Parkruns will also be included for the 5k distance.
2. Members are allocated points for their best time during the competition year over each distance (40 points for fastest, then 37, 34, 32, 30, 29 and then reducing by 1 point for each position).
3. The competition year runs from 1 September 2013 to 31 August 2014. The highest 5 for each member are then totalled to give the overall standings.
4. Members do not have to compete in all events, obviously they will be disadvantaged if they compete in less than 5 distances.
