Open Competition:
Rules : Individual competitors can compete
in any 5 of the 7 races to qualify for the
Grand Prix. If more than 5 races are completed the best 5 positions
will be used in the scoring
Finishing positions in each race will be used to calculate the Grand
Prix position .
Prizes: 1st,2nd 3rd
men overall, 1st 2nd 3rd women
overall, 1st only in usual vet categories, MV40, MV50,
MV60, FV35, FV45,FV55. Only 1 prize per competitor based on highest
value principle. Prizegiving will take place immediately after the
last race – The Valentines Park 5k.
There will be an extra prize for the best performance by an athlete
dressed as an "Elvis Impersonator" over the 7 races. The
Organisers will decide the winner taking into account factors such
as costume, position within the race etc.
Interclub Competition:
Rules :
Competitors must be 1st claim members of the 7 competing
clubs. There will 2 separate team competitions, one for men and
another for women. Men's team points will still be calculated on 1st
6 home and must include 3 vets aged 40 plus. Women's team points
will be calculated on 1st 4 home and must include 2 vets aged 35
plus. The scoring will be done on overall position in the race i.e
including taking into account other runners from the non 7 competing
teams. In the event of a team not closing, points will be allocated
based on the position of the last finisher plus 1 and incrementing
thereafter by 1 for each unclosed position.
The individual scores will be accumulated to decide the team
position for each race and the winners will receive 1 point, 2nd
place 2 points, 3rd place 3 points and so on. In the
event of a team not closing the number of scorers finishing will
also be taken into consideration so that a team with less finishing
scorers than another will always finish the lower.
Each team will have its best 5 scores out of the 7 races taken to
decide the final team positions. The team with the lowest
accumulated score over its best 5 races will be declared the
winners. In the event of a tie between 2 teams the team with the
lowest accumulated individual scores over the best 5 races will be
declared as superior.
Prizes: There will be two interclub shields (men and women) to be kept by the winning teams for one year which will then be returned.
Results: Individual race results will be recorded on an excel spreadsheet to facilitate Grand Prix scoring which will be the job of Martin Clarke of Ilford AC. Results should be sent to Martin Clarke asap. Need to get results quickly from last race for prizegiving. Results together with the latest Grand Prix positions will be posted on Ilford AC's website www.ilfordathleticclub.co.uk as soon as possible
