Series Scoring

---> Individual Series Rules <---

In order to be eligible for series prizing, men must do the 8km distance (10km at the Stewart Cup) and women must do the 5km distance at all races.

A runners best 4 race positions are used to figure out their score.

New for 2009 - There is no mandatory race, you only need to run in 4 of the 6 races to count for series prizing!

The lowest score wins.

All races are weighted equally. Your overall position in a race is the position that will be used when calculating series results.

If there is a tie in series standings, the winner will be decided as follows:

1. The runner or team with more wins out of their 4 best races.

2. The runner or team with the highest worst place finish out of their 4 best races.

3. The runner or team with the most 2nd place finishes out of their 4 best races.

4. The runner or team with the most 3rd place finishes out of their 4 best races.

5. If a tie still remains after the above 4 criteria have been applied, then the prizing will be split evenly between those runners/teams that are tied.

Final resolution on any protest for the series will be decided by the Run Alberta Series Coordinator.

---> Team Competition Rules <---

Team scores for each race will be calculated using each team's 4 best place finishers. The 4 places will be added together to determine the team's points for that race.

If a team does not field 4 runners in a race, they will receive last place + 1 point for their 4th runner. If they are missing 2 runners, then they would receive last place + 2points for their 2nd missing runner.

A team's series points will be determined using their 4 best team results from the 6 series races. There is no mandatory race for the 2009 series, teams simply need to compete in 4 of the 6 races.

Lowest overall score wins.

All races will be weighted equally.

If teams are tied at the end of the series, the following will be used to break the tie:

1. The runner or team with more wins out of their 4 best races.

2. The runner or team with the highest worst place finish out of their 4 best races.

3. The runner or team with the most 2nd place finishes out of their 4 best races.

4. The runner or team with the most 3rd place finishes out of their 4 best races.

5. If a tie still remains after the above 4 criteria have been applied, then the prizing will be split evenly between those runners/teams that are tied.

Final resolution on any protest for the series will be decided by the Run Alberta Series Coordinator.
