Team Divisions as usual: W40+ thru W80+; M40+ thru M80+
New Revised Scoring: In order to provide additional incentive for event participation, Grand Prix points will be awarded in each event in each division for all teams who finish a complete team.
Points will be as follows:
1st 100 pts 2nd 90 pts 3rd 80 pts 4th 70 pts 5th 60 pts 6th 55 pts 7th 50 pts 8th 45 pts 9th 40 pts 10th 35 pts 11th 30 pts 12th 25 pts 13th 20 pts 14th 15 pts 15th 10 pts.
Teams finishing 16th and below receive 5 pts. each. Incomplete teams receive no points.
Grand Prix Awards:
The ten teams with the highest point totals who have competed in 3 or more of the Grand Prix events, will receive a USA Masters LDR Team Grand Prix certificate.
In addition the top scoring teams receive:
1st place teams $1000 cash prize and a GP Champion Clubhouse Banner
2nd place teams $500 cash prize
3rd place teams $250 cash prize
Tie-breaks: If 2 or more teams are tied for 1st place, the tie will be broken by looking at head-to-head competition. The team winning more events in head-to-head competition gets 1st place. If teams are still tied after considering head-to-head competition, then the team with more 1st place event finishes gets 1st place. If teams are still tied, then the teams involved tie for 1st place.
There is no tie-breaking procedure for any finish behind first place.
If 2 teams tie for 1st place (after tie-breaking procedure) each team receives a $750 cash prize;
If 3 teams tie for 1st place (after tie-breaking procedure) each team receives a $583.33 cash prize.
If more than 3 teams tie for 1st place (after tie-breaking procedure) each team receives an equal share of the $1750 total prize money.
The same principle applies to ties for 2nd and to ties for 3rd. Relevant cash prizes are combined and split equally among the tied teams.
Official Rules will be posted soon on the USATF Club Grand Prix website and should be consulted for details on eligiblility, team affiliations and so on. Please see:
