Sycamore Scramble Time Calculation Update

Winning Time Calculations: We have considered various methods of combining competitors times from the three events to determine the winners, and we have decided that simply adding the times for the three events together is the best way to do that.

Awards: Each person’s time from each of the three events will be added together to get each competitors combined time.  Awards will be given to the top three places in each USOF category,  in each of the 4 Intercollegiate categories, and to the Varsity, JV and Club Teams.   Team results are calculated by adding the times of the top three competitors on each event from each team of from 3 to 5 team members.  Then these combined event times from all three events are added together to determine the winning teams.

Control Stands: We are designing control stands and  trying to keep them as simple as possible while keeping them compatible with the controls that we use at our local events.  Here is a picture of the minimalist control.
