2008 XTERRA Trail Run Series – Points System
In 2008 there will be a separate points system operating for the SHORT, MID and LONG courses.

Here’s an example of how points will be awarded to the Woodhill LONG COURSE finishers:

MASTERS

1530

149th

M

JUNIOR

1520

150th (last)

F

1510

  • The first competitor to finish the course will receive 3000 points.

  • The second competitor will receive 2990.

    …..and so on.

  • This year every finisher will be awarded a different amount of points.

  • Points are awarded based on your finishing place in the whole field – not on your place within your gender or age category.

  • Once all the points have been awarded all competitors points are then split up into their gender and age category’s.

  • After the Woodhill event the MALE MASTERS LONG COURSE points could look like below:
  • PLACE

    POINTS

    1st

    2980

    2nd

    2910

    3rd

    2900

    4th

    2850

    5th

    2830

  • Once again your best five finishes will count toward your final number of points (a bad day is ok).
  • The competitor closest to 15,000 points wins – simple!
  • Things to keep in mind for the competitive folk:

  • If you chop and change courses you will subsequently have points in two or three different course categories - if you are looking to win a category stick with the same course throughout the series.

  • Every position in the field really does count.  If you are the 2nd Open Female to finish but are twenty places in the field behind the 1st Open Female you will receive 200 less points than her.
