WIMBORNE CLUB LEAGUE 2016
The Club League table is compiled from competitors' best 6 scores in cross-country events. They are:
a) SWOA Level B & C Galoppens and Regional events
b) Other WIM, WSX and SARUM events with full traditional colour range including Blue and Brown courses
c) SOC New Forest events with full traditional colour range including Blue and Brown
d) SOC, BADO and BKO Level B events including the November Classic
Night events, Urban events, Sprint events, Score events, Chasing Start events and other Level C or D events are not included.
Scores are based on courses, not age classes. Points scored are the course winner’s time divided by the competitor’s time multiplied by 100. The course winner’s time is defined as the time taken by the first competitor running the correct colour or running up.
The colours laid down by British Orienteering for long distance courses are the basis for calculation. Colours are derived from Appendix B, Section 8.6 of the BO Rules of Orienteering 2014.
Where a colour is not offered, a competitor may run the next colour down without penalty. For example, a W50 finding no Short Blue can run Green for full points.
At larger events offering a full range of courses including Short Brown and Short Blue, competitors may run down one or two colours for a reduced points score. No score is given for running down three or more colours. The only exception is where the organising club specifies a short course as three colours below the equivalent long course (for example, where M60S is assigned Short Green).
At smaller events offering a traditional range of Brown, Blue and Green, competitors may run down one colour for a reduced score. No score is given for running down two or more colours.
The reductions in calculated points for competitors choosing to run down are given in the table below. The most a competitor running down can score is the relevant multiplier x 100. For example, a Blue competitor opting instead for Green could score a maximum of 0.70 x 100 = 70 points.
