The Leagues

Sadly we need rules. Every year some new rare possibility seems to occur so to make things transparent these are the rules. Complete with lots of asterixs

Each LERC runner is awarded points for completing a ‘league’ race, 150 for the first placed long eaton runner, 149 for the second, etc
Points are awarded for the ladies section and mens section separately
For points to be awarded LERC tops must be worn*
The best 10 performances are considered in compiling the final totals
There is no maximum or minimum number of races to be completed to qualify for trophies
Tied positions decided by WAVA table > fewest races > countbacks > head to head total times

Prizes;
Trophies are awarded to the first 3 senior ladies, vet ladies, senior men and vet men
The first F45 lady and the first M50 man also get an award should they not have collected a top 3 vet award in which case they may choose which award to recieve**
The Pheidippides award is given to the male and female with the highest total points over the season***

* exceptions at discretion of the league organiser.
** The 1st F45 / M50 doesn't pass to the 2nd F45 / M50 should the winner accept a 1st/2nd/3rd vet award.
*** Min 10 races ran. Ties decided by total miles raced.
