La Sportiva Mountain Cup - Scoring & Awards

SCORING

Participants need do nothing to be entered; just participate in any Mountain Cup event and you'll be counted. Overall scoring will be tabulated after each race, with Results posted on this website.

Each race will count equally - there are no premium points for longer distances and no championship at the end.

Overall contenders can enter as few or as many events as they want. They will only be scored on their best five events.

Each event will be scored only for overall Female and Male. At the end of the season each gender will be broken into two categories: Open and Master (40 years or older as of their first Mt Cup race of the season). Any Master qualifying for greater prize money in the Open category will automatically move out of Master into Open.

Two bonus points will be awarded to a competitor for every runner beaten in a race who was in the top ten in the same gender as of the previous day.

Events will be scored 1st through 15th places, as follows: 20 - 17 - 15 - 13 - 11 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

Highest score wins!
