I think you're right westmooors (and that might have been what Nelly was saying too).

Phew, I won't have to positive split to avoid future relegations.
(I'll just have to race more :-o)

In the previous incarnation, where you didn't have a time in the last year for a distance, then a time was worked out based on average pace of the next distance up that you did have a race for in the last year. To indicate that it was a worked out time rather than an actual time, it was shown in a lighter grey rather than black.
Thought that was quite useful to indicate which distances you didn't have a recent time for - no plans to include that this time around ?

Looking at my own division, I can see someone whose HM time is exactly half their marathon time, so I think the above is correct.

Are the races listed under your name the ones that you have coming up in the next week? I have two showing, today's parkrun and a 5K on Wednesday - would it not be "cleaner" if only those affecting the current week were shown (i.e. for me just today's parkrun, as the 5K comes after 11:00 Monday)?

The points now seem biased towards those running shorter distances.

The 20 miles column has been removed leaving endurance runners with only HM and Marathon distances to count, whereas racers over shorter distances have 1 mile, 5k, 5 miles, and 10k to count. I've excluded 10 miles as that is a middle distance runnable by both groups.
Not only that, the shorter distances can mostly be run once a week, but HM and Marathon usually only 2 - 4 times each a year. That means the short group can affect their standings weekly, whereas the long group has to wait 2 to 4 months to alter their times.
Does UTMOST include Parkrun (even though we are told by Parkrun that it is most definitely NOT a race, it is included in RunBritain rankings)? If it does, that would skew the UTMOST rankings even more to the short distance racers.

UTMOST includes parkrun on the simple grounds that FE counts parkrun as a 5K race everywhere else (PBs, Race Times etc.). :)

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Start in the bottom division, and compete over seven different distances against your rivals for weekly promotion!

How It Works
1) The game takes your best times from training and racing over the last 12 months.

2) If you've got the fastest 5k in your division, you get 20 points. If you're second fastest, you get 19 points, etc.

3) Your FIVE best scores are used to calculate your total. So if your scores at each distance are 20,20,20,20,20,10,5 the lowest two are discarded, and your total points would be 100.

4) Promotion and relegation happen every Monday at midday.
