Scoring has not been defined for the 09/10 league yet but will work something like it did last year bellow
Scoring for the league works as follows.
You are awarded points for the position you come in any event. Depending on your orienteering class these points will contribute different amounts to your start time at the final event which will have a base time of 7. This is a chasing start so the first person accross the line at the end will win an as yet undetermined prize of unknown value. (Jack has offered himself up for a date...)
Not attending an event will get you the maximum number of points.
Anyone with a handycap time of more than 60 mins will be mass started at 8.
Points are awarded for the position you come in any event as follows.
| Position | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | DNS/20+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 |
The Amount of seconds after base time each class starts per point.
