2007 Rules
POINTS
Teams receive points according to their finishing place in each individual race. Teams
must compete in at least 2 races to qualify for the Texas State Championships. Teams that
compete in all 4 races may drop their worst time (ex: the teams total points are the 3
best finishes in the series). Teams that compete in 2 or 3 races will use the points from
all races.
Points for races #1 -
#3 will be awarded from the chart designated for races #1 - #3.
Race #4 points will be awarded from the chart designated for Race #4.
Rankings in the Texas State Championships will be determined by the 3 race finishes that a
team chooses to use.
All protest
must be filed within 10 minutes after the awards ceremony.
Tie Breaker # 1
Ties will be decided by comparing results of head to head competition of the tied teams
(the team that came in ahead of the other team the most times in the 3 races chosen). If
still tied the team with the most 1st place finishes wins. If still tied the team with the
most 2nd place finishes wins, etc until a winner is determined.
Tie Breaker # 2
If still tied the team that finished highest at the final race # 4 will win. If only one
of the tied teams competes in race # 4 that team would win by default.
Races a team decides
to drop will not be used in tie breakers. A team that races in only 3 races must use
all races in determining their standings.
TEAMMATES
Racers may compete with several teams in the 4 different series races, however racers may
only acquire points for 1 team in the 2007 series. The first team a racer competes for
will receive the points for the 2007 series.
Teams are
allowed 2 alternate teammates throughout the 2007 series. These alternate teammates
may race in one or several races in any order. Alternate teammates may only acquire points
for 1 team in the 2007 series. The first team an alternate teammate competes for will
receive the points for the 2007 series.
Example # 1:
Joe Racer competes as an alternate member of Team USA in race #2. Joe Racer later competes
as a member of Team Texas in race #4. Team USA would receive the points because they are
the first team that Joe Racer competed on in the 2007 series. Even if Team USA is not in
the 2007 series (Team USA only competes in 1 race) Team USA would still receive the points
as they are the first team that Joe Racer competed on in the 2007 series.
Example # 2:
If Joe Racer competes for a team that does not receive points (the team finishes too low
to receive points) that is still the first team that Joe Racer competed for and the only
team Joe Racer can acquire points for during the 2007 season.
Alternate teammates
may race in another sprint race with another team in the 2007 series but that team
will not receive points towards the championship.
You should always
check with an alternate racer to insure that they have not raced for another team in the
2007 series.
At least one of the
original team members (from race #1) must compete on the team in all subsequent races for
the team to receive points in the 2007 Texas State Championship Series.
Texas Team/Club Championship
Teams may represent their club in the Texas Team/Club Championship. Team/Club will
receive points for their highest 5 finishing teams in each event of the Texas State
Championship Adventure Race Series. (Highest 5 finishing teams from any category, not
highest 5 teams from each category). The team/club which has the highest point total after the
final race of the series (Austin - Muleshoe) will be crowned the 2007 Texas State Club
Champions. In the event of a tie, the team/club with the most 1st place
finishes at the final race wins. If still tied the team/club with the most 2nd place finishes
at the final race wins, etc until a winner is determined. The Texas State Team/Club
Champions will take home the Texas State Club Champions traveling trophy for the year and
have a permanent plaque attached to the trophy. Team/Club that wish to register for the Texas
Team/Club Championships must email request to kathy@terrafirmapromo.com
