Into the second half of the cop semi-final now. Needing a miracle like last time to get to the final. Could be get out your grannies and kids time again!!
Update on Latest score as of 9:00 am Poynton have increased their lead but we still need more runners to stand a chance.
55 runners: Wilmslow 14; Poynton 41
WRC 555 : POYNTON 985 a lead of 430 for Poynton.
They have 3 times the runners we have and the fastest runner so far at 18:37; but we now have 4 in the top 5. We need some good times.
I know you can do it if you try – even in this rotten weather we are having. If you haven’t registered you can do it here.
If you think your time is very slow – let me know and I’ll tell you if it scores for us.
It works like this: Team Points calculated as follows: Your Position Points plus the number of our runners ahead of you less the number of Poynton runners ahead of you.
Positional Points. Is the number of runners who will have run [including you] less your actual position in the table.
For example: Your time will place you 40th. There are currently 60 runners so your Positional points would be (60 + 1) less 40 1.e. 21
There are 15 WRC runners ahead of you and 24 Opposing team runners. so net gain to the team is 21 +15 -24; a 12 point gain.
Similarly if you would be 100th out of 130 runners and there was 30 Wilmslow runners ahead of you and 69 opposing runners it would generate (130-100) + 30 -69. A net loss of 39 points.
So don’t be sad if you have a slow time. Wait and hopefully the opposition will have a lot more slower runners than you and the loss can be a gain.
Please Take care whilst running.
