Headbangers

2007 HEADBANGER SERIES RULES

There will be 2 championships this year, a Short Event Championship (SR) up to about 8 miles, but generally shorter, and the All Round Championship (AR), this is to give people who prefer short events their own league. It will not be possible to win both events, but they will be ran together, some events will be Short Event only and some All Round event only.

 

 

General Rules

The first Strider to finish will be awarded 20 points, second Strider gets 19 points, third gets 18 points, and so on.
The Full Moon run will be a social run, but over fields, tracks and through woodland on the Chevin area, the aim is for the group to stay together and to run at the speed of the slowest, this is for safety!!! The points will be the same for all completing the run, points will be lost for unsociable behaviour, at the discretion of the organisers!! Headlamps or a torch are required, bright clothing is better left in the sports bag ( it reflects back at the following runner)
It is the responsibility of the entrant to ensure that their position/time is sent to Chris or Carolyn for each event, to ensure inclusion in the results as some events do not always issue results, but actual event results will override.
Additionally 1 Bonus points will be awarded to the Male and Female Strider completing the most races in each series.
You can take part in as few or as many races as you wish, but your total score for the series will be the sum of your best 6 scores for men, 5 for women. If you complete less than the required number of events your total score will be the sum of all your scores.
In the event of a tie at the end of the series the higher position will be awarded to the person who has beaten the other Strider the most times when they have completed against one another.
If there is an *MK* = Mandatory kit requirement. These are arduous events and may require some navigational skills. For your own safety you must therefore be prepared to carry the following kit during the race : water/wind proof full body cover, map, compass, whistle, emergency food & drink. Failure to be equipped with any of these items may, at the race organiser’s discretion, lead to your entry being rejected or disqualification
Safety Pins will NOT be provided at many Fell Races – make sure you take some with you.

 

 

Short Event Specific Rules

To be eligible for the Short Event Championship, a Strider can only compete in the short and medium events and a maximum of 2 “ * ” long events, if 3 “ * ”events are completed then the competitor will automatically be moved to the Over All Championship.
If a Strider moves from the Short to the All Rounder series, then points for remaining competitors will be adjusted.

All Round Championship Specific Rules

Bonus points are awarded for the tougher races in the All Round series
Only 3 “ * “ bonus point races will count towards the Championship, these will be the Strider’s best 3 scores.
Once a Strider is competing in the All Round Series, they will not be able to transfer to the Short Series.
