The scoring system to be used for Croeso 2016 will be based on that used for Croeso 2012. Its details are as below:-
- A “Par Time” is determined for each day’s event – this is calculated as the average time of the top 50% of the number starting.
- Competitors’ points for a particular day are calculated by comparing their time for that day against that day’s ParTime
The points calculation is simple, namely:-
Points = 1850 – (600 x Time / Par Time)
[The numbers 1850 and 600 are arbitrary and don’t affect final positions in the results; they are chosen to give numerical results similar to those generated by previous multiday rankings systems]
The sum of the best four points (out of a maximum of five) for each runner give their total for the event.
Note: To avoid problems with classes which have a small number of competitors, Par Times are based on courses rather than classes.
