Club Grand Prix and Club
Championships
We are running a club Grand Prix again in 2018. At the last AGM members
asked us to run Grand Prix to encourage members to do events with
their club mates and to encourage a bit of competition within the club. The
committee have selected the following events for 2018. We have been requested
to include a middle distance event which we have done. We have included 3
standard and 3 sprint distance races, a duathlon and an aquabike (swim/bike).
They are listed below. We have tried to avoid the most expensive events. Most
events get booked up well beforehand so get planning. Men and women will be scored separately
The scoring system will be 50 points for first club finisher, 45 for
second, 40 for third, 39 for fourth, 38 for fifth, 37 for sixth and so on plus
points for age group finish position in the whole race. If you finish 1st in
your triathlon age group you get 40 - 1 = 39 points. If you finish 2nd in your
age group you get 40 -2 = 38 points and so on. If you are 40th or below in age
group you get 1 point. Triathlon age groups are in 5 year bands
For each member their 5 best scores from events will count
