    Now that the club has a large number of sprint events, I thought it might be fun to have rankings scores for sprint events like we do for the 'normal' events.  The link below provides a spreadsheet with the rankings scores for sprint events so far this year.


    The rankings are displayed three ways:

    The Ranking Score works the same way as the usual club rankings, including drops of low scores once you have run five or more events.  To be included in the ranking computations you need to have run at least 4 events (if you have run less than 4 you can still see your scores - they are calculated based on comparing to the times of the ranked runners on each course).  The Scores>3Events sheet is the same as the Ranking Score sheet but puts everybody who has run at least 4 events above everybody who as run three or fewer events, similar to how rankings are displayed on the DVOA site.

    The Total Points sheet ranks everybody by a total of the points earned in all events attended, so gives an incentive for attending lots of events!  The scores used are the ranking scores described above with a few wrinkles:
    • If you run a course but don't get an official time (DNF, MP, NC, DISQ, Group Run) you get 10 points rather than 0.
    • If you don't run a course because you are the Event Director or Course Setter, you get a score for that course equal to the highest score you have earned for any event so far this year.  We want to reward our course setters and event directors!
    • I also adjusted the times of the people who had to take a mid-course break last night due to lightning and turned DNFs due to lightning into NCs.  Way to go Deb an David for finishing your courses!

    Here is a link to updated results, fixing the Preaw Brad.


    After getting some feedback, for people running as groups I changed their score for the total points sheet to be equal to their (non-cumulative average) ranking score rather than 10 points.  Often when people are doing the sprint as a group it is because they are doing a course with somebody new, which we want to reward.

    People running as groups are not included in computing (non-cumulative) Ranking Score since when you run as a group you might have a non-representative time based on the speeds of your partners.
