**please note that awards and categories in an individual race may well be different to the series rules

Scoring: your best eight races. Decision by:

If eight races run or more:

1) If only one runner has completed 8 (or more) races: that runner is the winner
2) If two or more runners have done 8 (or more): head-to-head results in races (NB NOT most races in this case).
3) If (2) does not decide a winner, organisers will examine results and adjudicate.

If  no-one completes 8 races (or more) :

(1) runner with 7 races completed
(2) if more than one have completed 7 races, adjudicators compare head-to-head and other results

If  no-one completes 7 races: same applies for 6 races, then 5

Fewer than 5 races: no award

Awards normally at end of series race
Organisers' decision will be final.

*change of senior or veteran category during series
It will often arise that a runner moves to a new category during the series.
It has been clarified to us (cf. South Yorks Series races) that as we are operating a series we should establish annual category at the date of the first event.
