MERIT TABLE POINTS are based on the percentage (%) you run of your current table PB (personal best)
As an incentive to set new PB’s you will gain 5 extra points if you set a new PB.
the facts:
The aim of the merit table is to try to determine the runner who has improved or maintained their race times the most consistently over the year. The competition is open to any member of the club. it doesn't matter what speed you run at, you can still win because the only person you compete against is yourself.
Your merit table
points are based only on your running this year, so if you are running well you
stand as much chance as the next person to get good
points. Want to delve

the complicated bit...
There are 5 merit table distances that you can gain point, these are
5k, 10k, 5 miles, 10 miles, half-marathon (13.1 miles)
You can run any AAA's certified race over any combination of these distances to gain points.
If it's not a local race just provide a results sheet as proof of your time and we will work out your points
MERIT TABLE POINTS are based on the percentage (%) you run of your current table PB (personal best)
We just don't divide this result by 5 as previous years -
For example if you ran 95% of your PB last year you would have received 19 points
Where as this year you would receive 95 points
To keep the bonus in line for a PB as we're increased the main point by a factor of 5,
we're also increased the bonus for a PB by a factor of 5
So where as last year you would have received a Bonus of 1 point for a PB ... You now get 5 points
This also makes the PB points clearer to understand
If this year you ran 6% quicker than your PB You will receive 106 Points + 5 Bonus Points = 111 Points
Where as last year you would have received ....... 21.2 Points for a 6% PB + 1 Bonus Point = 22.2 Points
---------
As an incentive to set new PB’s you will gain 5 extra points if you set a new PB.
For example if the same runner set a new PB of 49 minutes they would gain the following points.
Merit PB = 50 minutes
Race Time = 49 minutes therefore % of PB = 50/49 x 100 = 102 %
Therefore Merit Table Points = 102 points
+ 5 Bonus Points = 107 Points
Don’t worry if you don’t have a current PB from last year for a race distance .
Your staring MERIT TABLE PB is based on your times from last year.
If you are not a VET your Merit Table PB is simply your fastest time from last year.
However, if you are a VET (on or before 1st March) we will allow for your natural slowing.
For VETS your Merit Table starting PB will be your fastest time from last year + 1% of that time.
Only your best 6 totals in the year will count towards the final Merit award.
