Handicap competition standings up to 17th June 2009 Velo Results and Standings as of 17th June 2009
16th June 2009 OK I've finally managed to get a excel spreadsheet done for the handicap competition and the latest standings can be seen using the link below. I have taken over the adminsitration from Simon Scott so hope I have got the system right, in fact I must have because I'm in the lead (ha ha, that was a joke - honest!). This is the way it works:- 1. The competition runs between May and August and covers only the club 10's. 2. You will be automatically entered if you are a current member of the club. 3. You must marshal for at least one of the qualifying events to be eligible for prizes.. 4. The prizes are kindly sponsored again this year by Simon Scott and they are 1st £50, 2nd £30 and 3rd £20. 5. The points (from 1st - 10, 2nd -9 etc down to 1) are scored based on your corrected time (i.e. actual time minus your previous handicap). Your handicap is calculated on the difference between your last time and the scatch time (22 minutes for all courses this year). Hope that's clear. Please check your times on the spreadsheet in case I have made any mistakes. In case you are wondering how to score the most points, the best way is to do as many time trials as possible (you will score at least 1 point for finishing), and try to improve your time from week to week. PB's generally score big. The competition is structured to give an advantage to beginners who can make quite big time improvements. So theoretically everyone has an equal chance. Handicap competition standings up to 3rd June 14th June 2009 Clifford Jackson set a superb veterans record on the R50/3C at Glyneath this morning, posting a 1.56.50 (25.68mph) and beating Paul Colmans previous record by over 1 minute. He has also extended his vet on standard record to +42.13. Well done Cliffie!
