Handicap 10

Points Trophy

This is a season long competition with a trophy for Male & Female. You score 1 point for every Club event you ride in. You can also gain a ‘bonus point’ in the following way:- When you ride a particular course for the 2nd, 3rd etc time in that season, if it is your fastest time in that season you score a bonus point.

Example, at Wicken if we ride there 4 times and your times are 27.00, 26.30, 26.18 and 26.24 you would score 1 plus (1+1) plus (1+1) plus 1 totalling 6 points

Improver Tophy

This trophy is awarded to the person who improves year on year, not during the current season. The results are calculated in this way: -
+ Take your fastest time at each of the following courses during the last season, Wicken, Ashley A & B and Red Lodge
+ Add the 4 times together
+ Then do the same again with the results for the current season

The winner is the person who has improved the most.

Note 1: If for arguments sake you did not ride Ashley A during the last season then your time from the previous season would be used.
Note 2: By virtue of the way it is calculated you will not be eligible in your first season of Time Trials.

6. Young Achiever

Any member of the Club who is at Secondary school who has excelled in any category or discipline.

7. Triathlon

This trophy groups together Triathlon and Duathlon. Your best 4 scoring events to count, these can be a mixture of Triathlon and Duathlon races. You would still be eligible if you had only competed in 2 or 3 races. ‘Off Road’ events do not count.

How are your results calculated?
+ Take the winners time and divide it by your time
+ Multiply by 100
+ Multiply this by your Age Cat indices.

Do this for all your races during the current year, add your highest 4 scores together.

Example:-
Your age is taken as your age on 31st Dec in the current year as per British Triathlon. Assume you are aged 39 on race day but you will be 40 by New Years Eve. Therefore you are classed as Cat H ( 40-44) all season.

Winner's Time 60m 00 secs
Your Time 80m 00 secs
0. 75

Multiply by 100 = 75
Multiply by Age Cat Indices Cat H = 1.086 = 81.45

Therefore your score for that race is 81.45

Age Cat Indices
17-18 B 1.111
19-20 C 1.105
21-24 D 1.088
25-29 E 1.074
