          Borders Handicap 2009-2010

John Driscoll explains the Borders Road Running League Handicap

A brief explanation for new runners.

I am using the Borders League races to evaluate an Endurance Running Handicap system invented a few years ago by George Bunner.  Essentially the system gives you a handicap number (like Golf) which is dependent on recent performances.  The number translates into a time allowance, which obviously changes with the distance of the event.

To qualify for a handicap you need to run 3 Borders league races.  Provided these are within 2 seasons, you will be included in the handicap results for future Borders League races. (Note for those also included in the Cheshire AA RR GP events – I do not use any performances collected for that).

Two changes from last year :

  1. your handicap code for each race will be the minimum of your last 3 (rather than 5) League races, so can “go up as well as down”!  This season I will look back only 14 races (2 seasons) to see if you qualify for a handicap – the first race of the 2006/07 season in October 2006 will now be removed from the data base before our next League event.
  2. The first 150 in the combined handicap result (male + female) for each race will receive points decreasing from 150 for 1st to 1 for 150th, and then 1 point for any additional runners.  The handicap winner will be the person (male or female) with the highest points total from their best 5 handicap positions. 

If you have any questions please contact the undersigned at jld@sunnyfield.co.uk, rather than blresults.

Individual Race results can be found here.

Consistently good form from Sallie Holt means she is the highest Wallasey A.C. runner in the Borders League Handicap, lying in 8th place overall with 2 races to go.
