There is a competition for all with trophies being awarded to best man and best lady overall. It is four races to qualify. Scores will be worked out using a similar system to last year. 1st person back scores 1 point, 2nd – 2 points, 3rd – 3 points and so on. Overall scores will be the sum of the lowest (best) 4.
The difference this year – Non attendance of a race will earn you a score of the number of competitors plus 2 but with a minimum of 12 points e.g. 6 competitors -anyone not racing will score 12 points. 17 competitors – anyone not racing will score 19 points.
Results are announced straight away in the forum and then eventually summarised here. The winners will be worked out over breakfast after the last race up Black Combe and the trophies eventually given out at the club's Christmas dinner.
The league is handicapped and the races all have a chasing start. The handicaps are (loosely) based on your expected best performance at the start of the season. This year they are:
