Phil Gillard recently spoke to Julian at Spectrum about an inter-club fell championship. A really good idea I think.
What are people's thoughts. I've been thinking about it and propose something along these lines.
Draft Document for Inter-Club Fell Trophy
Helsby, Spectrum (possibly Tattenhall?) I’ve included Tattenhall as they seem to do similar fell races to ourselves our local, generally of similar ‘abilities’ and will only add to the competition
3 races a year proposed between May and September starting 2012
Trophy held by winning club for one year and engraved by winning club
Trophy presentation after the final race (will need access to database for working out winning club and points)
Subsequent years Races chosen by winning club (but should incorporate races that all members of club could willing participate in and not pre-entry races)
All races to be within 50 Miles of spectrum, Helsby or Tattenhall
Points system
Points need to be decided so it is not purely determined on how many runners a club have turning up (say a club manages 15 runners and another club only 10) so there needs to be a cut-off point that validates this. If we say 20, then that averages out at 7 counting runners per club in the men’s championship.
Men first 20 positions from all clubs counting down from 20 points for 1st runner home from any pf the three clubs to 1 counting point for the 20th runner home
(eg if Spectrum male in first then scores 20 points, if 2nd runner in is Helsby 19 points etc until 20 positions have been filled)
Women first 10 positions counting down from 20 to 10
However, if a club can field 10 men then they receive 10 extra points (this means other runners help out too)
If a club can field 5 women they receive 10 extra points
Thoughts anyone?
