- The concept of the Individual League is to reward consistent high performance of the most regular race attendees within a given grade structure.
- It is hoped it will give another opportunity for athletes to compete for places even if they are not members of the usual winning teams.
- In order to qualify for the Individual League athletes must be members of the BHAA during the league (and in Particular by the end of the league). Eg. Members in 2006 will not score points for the 2006-2007 League if they are not paid up for the BHAA year of 2007.
- 8 Leagues (6 Men and 2 Women) are made up of Members with similar running Grades.
- After each race all finishing members are “bucketed” into their Individual League Div (A-F, L1,L2)
- The best finishing person of each Division gets 10 points
- The second best finishing person of each Division gets 9.9 points
- .... and so on to the last finishing person in each “Division” in that race.
- All finishing members of the BHAA should get some points based on their finishing position within their Division.
- Over the course of the League each members’ total points from all (but two) races are added to determine the overall winner of each division.
- Race Promoters/Organisers will receive 10 points for their own race (as they won’t be racing themselves).
- Note: This is how the Individual League is currently compiled (Summer 2008). It takes into account changes from previous leagues. It is not necessarily fixed in stone. The League is for Members and so and if anybody has suggestions as to how it could be improved upon please contact registrar@bhaa.ie or anyone on the BHAA Committee.
- For Summer 2008 we have reverted to the Best of N-2 races, allowing runners miss two races, or two poor performances.
