| WMAC Snowshoe Schedule 2004 | |
The 2004 WMAC Snowshoe Series will utilize the same system of scoring as last season. The scoring will be decided by points as follows:
Points will be awarded to all finishers, based on number of participants in each individual race, with 1st place always receiving 100 points, regardless of number of finishers.
Each subsequent position will be awarded points on a sliding scale from 100.
Example; if 40 people complete Woodford, the overall winner will receive 100 points. The person in second will receive 97.5 points, third will get 95 points, on and on until the last finisher gets awarded the factor point. This will weight the scoring by number of participants.
If at the next event, Saratoga Biathon 5km, there are 20 finishers, first place again gets 100 points, second 95, third 90 etc.
If there isn't snow at an event, a foot race may be held instead. The points awarded for a "non-snowshoe" race will be halved. So, if there is no snow at Race X, and 50 people participate, first place gets 50 points, second receives 49 points, etc. This way, the event (and the directors efforts) can be salvaged towards being part of the series, with lesser weight than a traditional snowshoe race.
The overall male / female WMAC Snowshoe Champions will be decided by total number of points for their best six out of fourteen possible scores at the WMAC events.
Also, the top point producers in five year age categories, both men and women, will be declared age group champions. You must complete at least four out of the fourteen events to be eligible for an age group title, with your best six scores counting.
