Grand Prix Scoring:
A competitor may only run in their permitted age category.
The first 50 competitors in each age category will score points towards the age category championship; 50 for 1st, 49 for 2nd, 48 for 3rd, 47 for 4th, ...., 1 for 50th.
Points are allocated according to the positions (not times) in the final race results.
Under U.K.A. rules there cannot be a tie in a fell race; the finish line marshal is a judge of fact and their decision is final.
Up to the best 5 scores from the 10 selected races will count towards the final positions.
In the event of a tie, the competitor with the highest total points for all 10 races will win.
A minimum of 5 completed races are required to qualify for an award.
Note that FRA distance restrictions will apply at some races to runners aged under 18.
The top 3 female and male runners based on their category score at each race will score for their respective ladies' and men's club team.
All 10 races will count for the club championship.
