Sandilands Cup

2018/19

The Sandilands Cup rewards Striders for representing the club in team cross country events. The idea is that all Striders have a reasonable chance of winning the Cup. You need to run at least 6 of the 10 races listed in the table below and if you run them well by your own standards then you will do well in the Sandilands Cup.

Team place bonus points

These categories have been created by taking into account the runner’s recent performances and their record in cross country races. New runners will be given a category after their first Sandilands cup race (but can score 1 point in their first race if they place in the team). Runners may be re-categorised after the 3rd Sandilands Cup Race to prevent someone benefiting from being mis-categorised.

Scoring Rules

• 20 points – For each runner finishing or helping to marshal a Sandilands Cup Race.
• 1 bonus point – For each runner finishing or helping to marshal a Surrey League cross country race
• 1 bonus point – For any man who finishes in a race where less than 11 Striders men finish, or woman who finishes in a race where less than 5 Striders women finish.
• 1 bonus point – For the any Strider who finishes in a better placing than their placing in the comparable race of last season.
• Surrey League men – overall finishing place among both division 2 runners, compared to division 3 and division 4 last season
• Surrey League women – overall finishing place among both division 1 and division 2 runners
• Other races are just on gender placings – i.e. what place the runner finished among runners of their own gender
• ‘Team place’ bonus points – The ‘team’ is considered to be the first 11 men in Surrey League races and the first 7 men in all other races, and the first 6 women in Surrey League races and the first 4 women in all other races.

Total Score

Each runner’s total score is calculated by taking their 6 best Sandilands Cup race scores from the 10 Sandilands Cup races.
