Club Championship Points

Club Championship Points accumulate for the adult long and short course series runs marked as being eligible club point in the annual season calendar.  You must be 18 years of age or over on the last day of that year to be eligible.  Under 18's can only compete for the adult long course series if they have presidents approval and will be included in the 18 to 29 year age group.  You must complete 12 eligible point scoring events to be eligible.  This will be your best 12 eligible point scoring runs.  However if you have only completed 11 eligible runs and volunteered once, that volunteer will count as 1 run scored at your average points per run or if you have only completed 10 eligible runs and volunteered twice, the 2 volunteers will be counted as 2 runs scored at your average points per run.  If you are injured, we suggest volunteering if possible.  Only a maximum of 2 volunteer efforts can be counted towards points.

Club Championship Point are open to Townsville Road Runner members only and it is essential to complete your membership as close as possible to the commencement of the running season. 

Your points are 101 minus your members only place so the first member to finish an eligible run/event will get 100 points, the next member will get 99 points etc.

Some fun runs and running festival events may be included as eligible runs (refer the Season Calender for runs which attract club points).  It is essential you check the published results and report any discrepencies back to Michael Fitzsimmons.  These results will be used to compile the end of season points table.

Gender based age groups awards will apply for the long course series.  The age groups for the long course series are presently 18 to 29 + any president approved juniors; 30 to 39; 40 to 49; 50 to 59; 60 to 64; 65 to 69; 70 to 74; 75 and over with the age determined at 31 Dec of the race year.

The points table will be made available at the presentation night.

This is a brief explanation of how the Club Championship works. If you would like a fuller explanation, see Michael Fitzsimons at one of the club runs.

For information about volunteering and the club points system go to Points for Volunteers.

Club Points for the Short Course

The same logic applies for the short course except that due to lower numbers, the awards are for the first overall male and first overall female members only.  There are no age groups for adults participating in the short course series, and members cannot win awards in both the long course and the short course competition.
