2007 USAT-Midatlantic Duathlon Series Rules and Scoring:
All races must be USAT sanctioned. Failure to sanction a race
will result in the race being pulled from the series.
Any annual
USAT member may participate in the races in the series, however,
only USAT annual members from the Midatlantic Region (USAT-MA)
are eligible for their points counting toward a final series
ranking.
Note: In order to receive series points for a given race
an athlete must be a USAT annual member at the time of the race.
If you become a USAT member during the series races before
you become a member -- events raced prior to receiving USAT
membership will not count in the series point scoring.
Scoring will
be done based on the USAT National age group rankings
procedures.
The Regional
Series Championship race will be worth the same number of pts
(will also count as the tie breaker race), but will only count
as completing 1 race . This race will have
special prizes/awards TBD.
You must
finish 3 races to be eligible for awards.
Your best 5
scores will be counted. If you finish more than 5 races your
lowest scores will be dropped.
The M/F
individuals with the top 3 Overall highest scores will be
declared 1st, 2nd and 3rd Overall
in the series.
The M/F 40
and over with the highest score will be declared the Overall
Master winners.
The M/F 50 and over with the highest score will
be declared the Overall Grandmasters winners.
The M/F 19 and under with the highest score will
be declared the Overall Junior winner.
The top
score in each age group 19 & under to 80 and over in 5 yr
increments.
No double
dipping is allowed. You can not win an Overall or Masters or
Grandmasters award and an Age Group award.
If a masters
or grandmasters athlete finishes in the top 3 overall he/she
must decide if they want the overall award or the
masters/grandmasters title. You are not eligible to win more
than 1 overall award.
Your age
group is based on your age as of Dec. 31, 2007. This is the same
procedure USAT uses for Nationals rankings.
Since this
series is using the USAT national age group ranking procedures,
only age group athletes are eligible for points or series
awards.
If there is
a tie in points the person with the most points at the series
championship race will be declared the winner. If there still is
a tie the person with the most points at the regional
championship race will be declared the winner. If there still is
a tie after this the USAT-MA duathlon committee will make the
final decision on declaring the winner.
Decisions of the USAT Mid-Atlantic Region Duathlon Series
Committee are final.
