| SURREY ROAD LEAGUE 2017 | |
| The Surrey Road League consists of six races and there are separate competitions for men's and women's teams, senior men and women, men over 40, over 50 and over 60 and women over 35, over 45 and over 55 | |
| Team Competitions | |
| The first three finishers from each competing club will comprise the scoring team, and the sum of their finishing positions will form their team score. In the event of a tie, the relative position of the third scorer will be the decider. League points will be scored according to the number of clubs entered. For example, if 20 clubs are taking part, the winning club in each race will score 20 points, second will score 19 and so on. | |
| If any competing clubs have fewer
than three runners in any race, their team score will
still be the sum of their runners' finishing positions.
For League points, clubs with two runners will be ranked
below all those with three and clubs with one runner will
be ranked below all those with two. If a club has no
runners in any race, they will score no League points for
that race. |
|
| The League will be decided on
each club's best four scores from the six races. In the
event of a tie, then five races will be taken into
consideration, and if there is still a tie, all six.
If there is still a tie, the total team points in each
race will decide. |
|
| Individual Competitions | |
| All runners from clubs taking
part in the League will earn an individual score in one
of the age categories. The first finisher in each category will score one point, second two points and so on. The League will be decided on each runner's best four scores from the six races. In the event of a tie, the best five races will be taken into consideration, and if there is still a tie, all six. If in any category no runner competes in four races, then the best three will be taken, and so on. |
|
| The age group into which an
athlete falls in the first League race in which he or she
competes will determine his or her age group for the
season. |
|
| Eligibility | |
| All members of Surrey-affiliated
clubs are eligible for the League. Individual Surrey
qualification is not required. Second-claim members may
compete provided that their first-claim club is not in
the League. Second-claim members who are likely to enter League races for their first-claim clubs must be declared to the League Secretary before the first fixture. |
